Digital BW, The Print

I've never had film that evaporated perfectly enough to be put away 
with no cleaning whatsoever. I usually plan on some streaks so try and 
cut them off at the pass by spraying both sides down with film cleaner 
(prazio) and then wiping with a wipe (prazio ultra wipes are the same 
as the fotex kind).  I do all of them at once (leaving them out on a 
wipe) before putting any back in a sleeve. That is more out of 
convenience than as a precaution.

   I have yet to be completely satisfied with my process and have been 
known to put some negatives away with streaks if I don't care about 
them too much.
