Prints in hot and humid climates, by Daniel Silk on Jul 3, 2022 12:01:29 GMT 1, Yeah, that's a very difficult situation. I'm really not sure it has a solution, but I think it really depends on the type of building your living in and the air circulation in the rooms. If it's a near airtight building with Aircon rulling continually, then I would guess the humidity can be controlled enough that you shouldn't have any problems.
I also live in a hot and very humid climate, normally around 80% humidity, and we actually don't even have glass in the windows, just wooden shutters, so total air circulation, but I still don't risk keeping prints in this environment.

Prints in hot and humid climates, by MLSOVT on Jul 3, 2022 12:28:42 GMT 1, Hi!
I’ve been collecting for over 20 years in Singapore and I’ve seen folks with works going mouldy and faded. I use only acid free sleeves, dehumidifiers air conditioned storage and avoid sun at all costs. Framing must be uv 99 and sealed with climate pack.
I run a little shop at Tanglin Shopping Centre 01-43. Wed - Sun 11-6pm. Pop by we can talk more!!

Prints in hot and humid climates, by riccardo on Jul 7, 2022 4:06:58 GMT 1, Thank you Daniel, It makes a lot of sense. I usually keep the AC on during nights between 10pm and 8am and I can obtain 25 °C and 60% humidity but the rest of the day I just leave the windows open for air circulation and the rooms experience temperatures of around 30 °C and 80% humidity. I also read that large temperature and humidity variations can cause condensation and damage the print.
