Abstract

A method for storing sheets of a photothermographic sheet material composed of a high molecular weight compound support and a sensitive emulsion comprising, as the indispendable constituents, an organic silver salt oxidizing agent, a reducing agent for silver ion, a photosensitive silver salt compound or its precursor, and a binder, characterized by inserting paper having smooth surfaces between every two sheets of said photothermographic sheet material. By this method, the photothermographic sheet material can be stored for a long period of time without deterioration of quality.
