Print Storage Advice, by bigv on Jun 13, 2017 2:48:22 GMT 1, Question for those who know more than I do. I've been storing my prints in a 24"x36" Picturesque Presentation Portfolio and my meager collection has outgrown the approximately 30 storage sleeves that came with it (15 sleeves filled front and back). The portfolio was very well regarded 5 years ago on EBeans when I bought it but it's been discontinued so I can't get any more sleeves to add to it. I've purchased some Alvin Archival Sleeves for some larger prints that wouldn't fit in the portfolio so I think they would be a good way to go and could work in a future flat file set up I don't have yet. Also, is there any opinion on BagsUnlimited's Mylar (4mm) bags and .040 Super Acid-Free backing board? I'd love this forum's advice on how you store your prints so I can follow in your footsteps.

Print Storage Advice, by pr.yu on Jun 13, 2017 3:23:03 GMT 1, I'm in a similar boat. I've just started my collection. I bought some Alvin Archival Print Protectors and some Photo corners to keep them from sliding around. I also bought this for under the bed on Amazon to store them, but it hasn't come yet. Any advice from the vets would be much appreciated.

Question: What are your thoughts on re-using sleeves? Would it be ok to wrap a new print in a layer of fresh acid-free paper before putting it in an old sleeve? Or maybe storing two to a sleeve, each print separated by the black acid-free insert that comes inside each sleeve? Desperate times, desperate measure and all that...

Different boat, same sea. Have the 24" x 36" Picturesque Presentation Portfolio (love it), but in need of additional sleeves to store more prints. Almost had a heart attack when I found out that they no longer make them in that size. Question: What are your thoughts on re-using sleeves?

Print Storage Advice, by chevyav53 on Aug 25, 2017 15:01:43 GMT 1, I do like the sleeves, I've never reused them so could not give advice there. I still see the 24X36 available, where did you hear they are not making them anymore?
I've also been looking into a flat file cabinet, any experience here with those. See the reviews on the one from Amazon but any addition feedback would be great.

Link? I would love to buy this portfolio; if you know where they are available, would you mind sharing?

Thanks, but I was referring specifically to the 24" x 36" refills that Picturesque used to sell for their 24" x 36" presentation cases. The ones you linked to on Amazon are the same size but made by a different company. They don't have ring holes that would match the rings inside Picturesque's presentation case. |

Just got off the phone with Jerry's Artarama. Apparently the supplier that used to make the 24" x 36" refill sleeves for the Picturesque cases couldn't get the size right, so they were dropped. Zero plans to sell them in the future. |
