What happens to the paper once it has been ...
What happens to the paper once it has been exposed, scanned, and removed from the can? Does it keep the image or does it fade?
After your exposure session (weeks/months) is complete it needs to be kept in a light tight container until you can open the can in a photo darkroom with a red safelight compatable with standard photo paper. Then the paper can be processed the same as way in the darkroom and red safelight - develop and fix - then the paper can be viewed in regular light without damaging the image while you wash the chemicals out of the paper. I did this many years ago with an oatmeal box/cylinder, but this is more durable than cardboard in the weather and the smaller pinhole provided will work better for extreme long exposures.
