Inexpensive way to store larger A0 prints , by Quinnster on May 19, 2013 17:06:49 GMT 1, Hi
Even if you get A0 size sleeves they don't hang in a large portfolio as they tend not to have rings..
I seem to have a few large prints that are in tubes and I need an inexpensive solution that can go in a wardrobe or under the bed and not take up loads of space....

Do you keep more than one print between the boards or use plastic sleeves?

Inexpensive way to store larger A0 prints , by mouser on May 19, 2013 20:22:44 GMT 1, About 15 prints with tissue in between each print. Several large bulldog clips to hold the 2 sheets together and stored vertical to prevent undue top pressure on the prints.
stamps from 5 years ago showing no sign of flattening.

I use the same technique, but with mdf. Not thought about using bulldog clips though, I'll have a look in the office stationary cupboard tomorrow |

Inexpensive way to store larger A0 prints , by elevenspots on May 20, 2013 8:16:53 GMT 1, What is the official name for the wax type paper prints often come in - its a little bit creamy translucent - you often get it with flat packed prints so you can see the front of the print you have purchased (Other Criteria/Counter Editions use it)
I want to get some of this type of paper - so I can attach the print face up to the card and still view each print image.
Any ideas or direction would be fantastic.

If anyone has any UK suppliers that they can recommend - please shout up. Thanks again.

He was a good bloke and it was for top end conservation stuff/ he recommended MDF with tissue paper. Also because the mount board is a bit on the floppy side.
He quoted me for some framing and he was around MFMs prices for UV glass and all the trimmings....

I cut them to just over A0 size with some cable ties set through both sheets down one side to act as 'hinges'. It's light and sits on top of my plan chest.

Inexpensive way to store larger A0 prints , by craigf on May 24, 2013 22:09:35 GMT 1, Found these today, an A0 (40" x 50")size is approx £18.90 they also do a bigger 40" x 60" although you may have to buy a pack of 10, or get together with forum members to split. They look very similiar to selwyn sleeves www.eye2eye.co.uk/display%20systems/postersleeves.htm

They look very similiar to selwyn sleeves www.eye2eye.co.uk/display%20systems/postersleeves.htmHow do these compare to Selwyns from a cost perspective (and quality if you've both). I feel the need to move some of my prints into individual sleeves. I need to count how many, but if anyone is Surrey / London based and wants to split a pack of 10 probably 60" x 40"'s pls drop me a pm (I am away until Tuesday night so might not manage to reply very quickly) |
