Re: Long term storage of ink prints

2009-01-21 by Jon Cone

Stephen,

When we store editions of prints we use an archival storage box and a
100% cotton slip sheet between each print. The slip sheet is slightly
buffered. We slip sheet each print to protect the surface as well as
add a touch of buffering against acid.

The slip sheeting is available from University Products.

We have a source for up to 34x47 as well if you are in need. Legion
Paper supplies that to us.

regards,

Jon
