Re: permanent storage challenges

Bill, 

Welcome to the list

Ditto.

The genealogist organizations might like to hear your process after you've refined it.  I've given talks to several and they seem to be very interested.


> ... I printed on archival scrapbooking paper ...

The Epson "Premier Art Scrapbook" paper is excellent for that purpose.  For larger prints I prefer the thicker Premier Art Smooth Hot Press 325.  (The Epson Scrapbook paper is Premier Art 205.)

It's a good choice. I recommend people start with the pre-filled carts to be sure you like it before buying bulk.  The pre-filled carts can be refilled.

Good luck with the process.
