Acid Free Art Portfolio HELP??, by G-Man on Dec 14, 2007 9:37:35 GMT 1, Hey guys and girls..
Can anyone give me advice on where to get, how much I should pay for a nice art portfolio to store my prints flat in??
It needs to hold Banksy prints etc. so needs to be a good size.
Are they card backed to ensure that the prints remain in A1 condition??
What is this acid free I hear about??
I want the prints that aren't gonna make it to the framers to be flat and somewhere I can view them
THANKS
;D ;D ;D

Acid Free Art Portfolio HELP??, by 'bric on Dec 14, 2007 10:09:10 GMT 1, I picked up one from www.atlantisart.co.uk/ but went and visited them. They had a choice of about 15 different styles. The A1 size fits all i need it to apart from the square Eine prints. Was a special offer of around ยฃ30, is pretty strong would take some effort to bend it.
The sleeves were purchased seperatly and were around ยฃ3 each. They came with a single piece of acid free paper similar to the tissue you will get from a print house. Not sure how many sleeves the portfolio can take but mine will take 20 prints/sketches/sprays easily.
Pages 334-351 show all you need. www.atlantisart.co.uk/_catalogue/catalogue_pages_g.html#portfolios

Acid Free Art Portfolio HELP??, by shower on Dec 14, 2007 11:29:57 GMT 1, im at uni so im not sure how big mine actually is. im currently getting my mum to flatten my prints and but them in the folder! A1 is big but it is 594 ร 841mm in size. therefore my eine vandals (750x750, i think), my nick walker vandals (not sure buts its as long as a limo!) and my giwtbb wont fit! im pretty sure my giwtbb wont! i bought A1 as it will fit all my other prints in and il just have to get the money for the others to be framed!
acid free A0 is literally impossible to find hence i went for the A1. if your prints are massive and you want to get them framed but want them flat first you could buy acid free backing board, tissue paper etc and put them between that. make sure you masking tape up the edges to stop dust getting in. then they will be flat for framing!

Acid Free Art Portfolio HELP??, by slacker on Dec 14, 2007 23:00:31 GMT 1, Help please. How big a folder would i need to hold my Micallef GIWTBB?. Will an A1 do the job? Thanks
you'll need an a0 for your giwtbb. either that or speak to your local framer and get two a0 sized bits of acid free backing board and sandwich it between them.
i have 5 prints so far which haven't fitted into an a1. they are:
giwtbb - micallef
cli-che - d*face
pop tart - d*face
dollar - d*face
vandals - eine
there is a thread in the picture framing section somewhere which covers most of this info. i think buster even posted pics of his larger prints sandwiched in the way i described above.
