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?
