Album Presentation
2005-01-05 by Stuart Goggin
I guess this is almost off topic, I apologise if you find this so. I have been printing for several months a lot of B&W prints using MIS inks, and have also done some toned B&W prints using Epson Inks. I have a lot of photos I would like to put into some sort of album or portfolio, and am unsure of the best way of doing it. My requirements are 1 - I prefer heavy non bendable pages to avoid the photos peeling off. 2 - I like black pages 3 - I really want A3 sized pages 4 - I don't like photo corners, and would like some permanentish way to mount the prints, they are digital after all so I can always reprint them at a later date. I found something like an ideal album made by Eternity (ACL) it’s a jumbo sized so is nearly A3, and has heavy card magnetic pages. It’s the right size, colour and looks great. But it's a magnetic album, and has those fine lines of glue to hold the prints in place, with a Polyester cover sheet. The album says it's archival, but I have my doubts about the glue. How do you present your photos, do you use an album? Stuart Goggin Melbourne Australia
