Fireproof Cabinets — Expert Answer
What storage does a photography studio need for protecting image files and prints?
Photography studios need to protect both digital files (on drives or optical media) and physical prints. For digital media, a UL Class 125 or Class 150 media-rated fireproof cabinet is required — standard Class 350 paper-rated cabinets allow interior temperatures that would destroy hard drives and optical discs. For original prints and negatives, a Class 350 fireproof cabinet provides adequate protection against fire damage. For archival photographic materials (film negatives, chromogenic prints), a climate-controlled archive environment is ideal, but fire protection is a baseline must-have.
