The cassette further has a housing with an exterior and interior members each with a main wall which extends axially and part way around the axis, the main wall of each having an axially extending first margin. In the cassette one of the members is rotatable around the axis between a closed position in which first margins of the housing members abut one another so that a web roll with a core seated in the core retainer is light tightly enclosed by the housing, and an open position in which the first margins are separated to expose an axially extending cassette opening and in which the rotatable member further radially overlaps the other member than when in the open position. A method of loading such a cassette and dispensing photosensitive material, is also provided.
