Hi Marco,
It does not matter what temperature or RH you choose for your plotter room,
conditioning room, yellow room, etc -- provided that the conditions are the
same in all areas where the film is handled and used; and the conditions in
these rooms are not changing. Pick conditions that are easy to control to
and comfortable to work in. The film does need to be pre-conditioned and
plotted at the same temperature and RH as the yellow room where it will be
used. Complete pre-conditioning requires 6-8 hours if you use a cabinet
designed to allow air to come into contact with both sides of the film
(open wire shelves - one sheet per shelf). It will take considerably
longer under other conditions. After post-processing conditioning requires
1-2 hours on open shelves.
