Large poly refill pages

[mshea]

Hi All,

I've started printing on the Harman by Hahnemühle 17 X 25 Gloss Baryta (love it). But I can't find any polyglass pages for them. The largest I've seen are the Itoya 18 X 24 and the Prat 18 X 24. Anyone know of a company making larger sizes?

Thanks,
Merrill

Try this company - http://www.clearbags.com/

Yup, clearbags.com is the way to go! I like getting the Protective Closure ("PC") variation so there's never any chance of closure glue getting on the prints.

My recommendation for bags (and anything else related to protecting, storing or shipping prints) is Archival Methods.

Thanks for the input, folks! I'll probably go with Clearbags.

Apologies for hijacking the thread, but...  Is there a downside to using bags for long-term storage?  Right now I store unmounted prints in archival boxes interleaved with tissue paper, but I'm about to run out of tissue paper, so wondering....  Bags would make handling easier.  Thanks.

Not that I'm aware of. The bags Clearbags.com sells are acid and lignin free.

The only possibility is putting prints that have not fully dried into a polybag.  Residual solvents would not have out gassed and there is some theoretical issue of their impact on the print.
