I'm looking for some type of paper to use to cover large inkjet prints while they cure for a day or two, and also to cover the print to help protect it for shipping. I currently use acid-free tissue paper for a day or two and then a new sheet of this tissue paper over the print before it goes into a plastic bag and into a tube for shipping. I am making larger prints now and can only find 24" x 36" tissue sheets and wanted to see if anyone could recommend some type of paper that would come on 44" or 48" rolls and would not damage the print (acid free perhaps). I didn't know if plain old newsprint or non-waxed butcher paper would work or not. Instead of using multiple sheets of tissue paper, does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks...

Tim, I was about to post this same question. I remember reading that plain paper or cheap coated ink jet paper can be used to cover prints for 24 hours during the curing process. Multiple prints can be stacked as long as paper is interleaved between each print.
As far as shipping though, I normally just carefully roll the print and place it in an acid free tube. A bigger concern to me is protecting the print from scratches and moisture, etc. before shipping. I've used Premier Eco Shield but have had nothing but problems so now I just try and be VERY careful after each print is made.
Probably not the safest way of handling it but perhaps someone else can read this thread and shed some light.
