Godfrey: Calumet Photo has the Moab Leather binders 12 x 13 for
$59.99--and you're right! they look very nice!

I just check B & H and they have the Moab Chinle Ice Nin Portfolio Kit.
It's not leather, but looks interesting.
The clam shell Century boxes are just what I need--thanks for the product
reco!
You should do a how-to article for your web site on how you make those
corner and hanging mounts :-).
It's Rototrim for me then! :-) And thanks for the advice on choosing a
size!
The low end printer idea was something I read somewhere, and I included the
idea on the list to see if anyone thought it was a good or unnecessary idea.
I got my answer! :-).
I haven't tried the Moab Summerset Velvet, might do so. I have tried
Hahnemühle Bamboo-it was good--yep, I'd consider including that in the mix.
Big thanks & cheers, Godfrey! Suggestions and tips very much appreciated.
Christine

*Printing*
-Exhibit quality printer
-3 full sets of ink for above
-storage space for above printer parts
-good stable printer stand
-printer cover
-Low-end printer for 4 x 6 proofs
- full sets of ink for above
-Paper Stash
13 x 19 inch:
Ilford Gold Fiber Silk
Epson Velvet Fine Art
8 ½ x 11 inch:
Ilford Gold Fiber Silk
Epson Velvet Fine Art
4 x 6 inch:
Epson Ultra Premium Glossy
Why buy two printers and stock several different sizes/types of paper
and ink, and not have the proofs match the finals?
- Epson R3800 or R4880 printer.
- Due to the ink tank size, one spare set of ink tanks
- High quality paper cutter
- 17x22 sheet stock of your favorite three or four papers (I print on
Epson Velvet Fine Art, Hahnemühle Bamboo, and Moab Somerset Velvet
Enhanced. Very occasionally I print a little on Epson Exhibition
Fiber, but I don't like doing so because I have to switch to Photo
Black and the surface is more fragile. But it sure looks nice when an
air-dried gloss finish is appropriate...)
Gang-print many images in small sizes to your proof size on big
sheets. Now your proofs will match your finals, and be more economical
at the same time.
When you need a volume of 4x6 prints, have a print service run them.
It's cheaper and the quality is as good as it needs to be.
*Print Preparation*
-High end paper cutter (*)
You want a Rototrim paper cutter, standard of the industry. Pick one
size larger than what you think you need. I bought 15 inch, should
have gotten 24 inch.
-Mounting materials (*)
Photomount Spray?
Double sided mounting tabs
I use Scotch 3M cold-mount positionable mounting adhesive for some
things. Otherwise I make corner and hanger mounts of archival paper,
taped with archival linen mounting tape.
*Portfolio Stuff*
-Transport Portfolio (*)
-Professional Portfolio (*)
Moab makes some beautiful leather portfolio binders, expensive as hell
but gorgeous. I use Century Boxes mostly, however, or package a
portfolio as a "folio" style presentation to present to potential
clients and gallery people (loose prints in an elegant, fitted heavy
paper cover ... I designed my own covers, had a die made to cut them,
and have them cut for me at a local volume paper/printing house.) Each
folio can handle a presentation up to about 20 prints in size.
