The frosting of the sleeves may be the UV protection coating. I bought the 27 x 41, movie poster portfolio for my collection. I have an architects flat file which is made of metal and very heavy, and also takes a lot of space. I wanted something more portable to be able to show off my posters and to prevent damage from constantly pulling them out. Does the posters sag in the sleeves when carrying them enclosed in the portfolio, by the handle? The only thing is, unfortunately I have some posters that are linen backed so they are larger by three quarters of an inch or so then the posters and they won't be able to go in the folio.
They’re using polyethylene and that’s why the sheets aren’t as clear (and why they’re on the flexible side. Ideally they’d use polyester mylar refills, but the reason they don’t is that it would probably multiply the cost of the binder many times. Mylar sheets with cardboard backing+box is still the optimal way to store posters in my opinion. They’re rigid and therefor protected, while displaying much nicer. The best I’ve found are the ones from Bags Unlimited. This portfolio is a good alternative for those who want to save some money though, as going the other way costs way more.
John Blackmouth hahaha yeah.. so notmally i have a white 3mm board at the end of the pile.. so its actually protected but still not good enough.. so far no damages on the prints.. still looking for another solution though..
Great review! I'll let you know if I can get one too! Can't wait for the room tour. Thanks!
Has anyone used the itoya profolio binder compared to the baroque? Do the poly glass sleeves fit the baroque portfolio?

Hi. Can you share the link for your system?
they are lenticular sleeves, which is why they are a bit obfuscated
Yeah man it’s dangerous to have your prints in there like that. I was cringing watching the video thinking they’re about to get creased! Lol.

NCHANZPLACE COLLECTIONS hope you find one soon. Those are awesome prints! (And expensive!)
whats up with the black paper in each sleeve? do you take those out before putting prints in?
Acid free paper, leave it in. Separates two prints when you put them back to back.
