Storing of prints, by Happy Shopper on May 29, 2021 21:03:07 GMT 1, Stupid question (probably) for members with plan chests.
Do they have a sprung metal bar to hold prints flat!?
If so, have you removed it to avoid it pressing against and damaging prints!?

Storing of prints, by Winchester on May 29, 2021 21:38:36 GMT 1, Ok! FINALLY my vertical storage has arrived! First order was lost, the second was put on hold due to the bad weather, but I finally got it! Arrived as a big box, 37 pounds, all flat packed. Itโs cardboard obviously so you have to be careful not to damage it, fold it in the wrong ways/spots and not sit with you knee or hand on it. Instructions are clear-ish. You need a bit of understanding of how boxes work and see it first in your mind. Final result is actually very good and sturdy! Again, itโs not metal, itโs cardboard but itโs a great little solution! I DIYโd some fixings by experience with boxes: a) I taped the corners and edges to reinforce them. B) I will put it on some base (likely ikea open bases - will reference it if you need) and add an additional layer of mdf or other cardboard (just in case). I live by the ocean and on ground floor so I get some floor humidity / mold sometimes. C) some humidity absorbent bags + silverfish repellants. Those little feckers love paper and cardboard. Oh, sixe is 47x34x12 inches for 30x42inches drawings max - There are different and smaller sizes. Edit: I will keep my prints in acid free sleeves & glassine paper. Edit 2: Will the folders need backing? Mmh they are quite sturdy but they might bend a bit. If I see that they bend too much against gravity, I'll add a little foam board at the back to reinforce.     
That looks like a great option, please keep us updated and let us know if any problems occur.

Storing of prints, by Random Ginger Bloke on Dec 24, 2021 16:58:21 GMT 1, ****GONE TO A GOOD HOME***
Got a delivery of refill sleeves from Baroque Portfolios and theyโve sent me more than I ordered (offered to sent them back but just told to keep as gift) so I have 15 of the 24x36 Archival & Acid-Free Portfolio Sleeves if anyone is after them as I wonโt be needing them anytime soon. Free of course (charity donation optional) if anyone wants (can ship uk if postage is paid or pick up at an arranged time, Glasgow based)
*edit* Iโm currently isolating till Sunday so pick up will be from Monday 27th
*CLAIMED*

Storing of prints, by Bigal 1987 on Jan 18, 2022 18:36:56 GMT 1, Hi, might be a silly question but have recently bought afew pieces, 1 Banksy โforgive us our trespassingโ print, with original envelope and leaflets and a Banksy Peckham Rock.
I was thinking of framing the rock but what do people do reguarding the print, leaflets and envelope? Im thinking if its stored in the envelope it wont age well or am i wrong?
Thanks in advance

Storing of prints, by the27 on Feb 19, 2022 6:15:48 GMT 1, Hi guys,
May need some advise on my print. I was storing in the original packaging and do found that thereโs small *dot* on certain area of the print ( looks like oil stain) . May I know if thereโs any change to remove it? Or to avoid should I just frame the print up ?
Thank you in advance.

Hello. Sounds like mould, mildew or foxing. If the print is of high value to you I would seek professional advise. There are some DIY methods but I would not recommend them personally. Best to be safe and eliminate possible spores before framing. If it does turn out to be as mentioned you could always turn to the artist for advise. I have done this myself in the past. Good luck

Thank you for the reply. Sure will check with some professional framing shop for advise. Just curious , will framing the print prevent all this mark in the future?

If framed by a reputable framer and to a high standard, yes.

If spores then they may very well still be active and could further spread. For example, feeding off the paper and requiring humidity. Or perhaps the spores are dead or not spores at all.
Do you have a photo of the work?
What climate would the work be framed in?
Expensive work? Earlier comment about going back to the artist or seeking professional advice.
Maybe someone more knowledgeable on here could help more if you could provide more details

Many thanks

Personally it's mainly dependent on if its been opened before, I have a couple, and they stayed in the envelope from day 1, few months ago I took 1 out to photo, it was very good considering the time spent folded, but I wouldn't want to fold it back up now as the movement will just make it worse, so now in a folder. Creasing negligible, but there..to be expected, I wouldn't refold and open for obvious reason, I don't expect the creasing on the folds to change now,
If kept folded, just don't put weight on the envelope.
I guess my advise, and that's all, only going on my experience, take it out, gently unfold it, and put in a folder, and never fold back up.

Thanks Snoozy for taking the time to reply, yea it has been out the envelope acouple of times already, the folds doesnt look to bad at the moment,I was more thinking of whilst its folded weather that will do any damage, however i am now thinking storing it in a folder does sound like the best idea now, or possibly framing it inc the evelopes etc but not 100% sure how that would work. Either way i dont want to come to it one day and it just falls apart in my hands ๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ Is there a โspecialโ folder that i will need or doesnt it really matter?
Thanks again

Is there a decent binder on the market to help keep them all in the one place?
or any other ideas.

Storing of prints, by chazawalla on Nov 14, 2022 19:57:33 GMT 1, I just ordered an Itoya poster binder, it says its got black acid-neutral paper inserts in 10 poly sheets... Can the smarter people here confirm that its safe to store prints long-term in this? I've got a few numbered HF screen prints that'll be going in once its shows up.

I'm sure I've seen threads on this Jaylove, seem to recall Mister Frame Man offering advice?
Not sure of your location, but if UK based, I would recommend talking to Caroline Harrison Conservation, based near Bristol?
I had something that needed flattening, and she was brilliant.
