Heat is the silent enemy of film.
What you’re seeing isn’t a lab mistake, isn’t a development fault, isn’t a scanning artifact.
This is ink from the backing paper, chemically burned into the emulsion during storage. Numbers, dots, arrows — permanently imprinted on frames that were never even shot yet.
120 film lives wrapped tight against its backing paper. Push the temperature, and the ink migrates. Slowly. Invisibly. Irreversibly.
Store your film cold. Store it sealed. Store it like it matters.
Because once the emulsion loses — there’s no fix in post.
