Re: ULF Negative Storage

Mark,
  They have a new seal strip on the bag instead of the flap just so it will not stick to the negative/art work. This is apparently new and it is a nice feature. You can slip the negative in and out and not snag on the seal strip. Although, for negatives, I don't use the seal because they will not last forever, but for prints that are not moved in and out as much, it is a convenient feature. And they are the clearest bags I have found. I always deliver matted prints in these bags. That way they don't have to pull them out to see them clearly.

  Victor,

  The Crystal Clear Bags are great storage envelopes....as the name implies, they are crystal clear and make it easy to see the contents.

  I use various sizes of these bags or envelopes for both storing my inkjet negatives and my prints. A sharpie pen is handy for marking info I need regarding the negatives since my brain is like a sieve and I need to make notes about how the negative was made, what process/contrast mix is is for, etc.

  Since the adhesive strip is protected by a pull off tape, I just leave that on and don't seal them—that way I avoid and snagging of the adhesive on the emulsion side of the Pictorico (which is death to a negative) or on the prints when removing them or putting them away.

  Best Wishes,

    Try Clearbags (http://www.clearbags.com/?category|BAGSPC), formerly Impact Images. Get the bag with the adhesive on the bag rather than on the flap. The above link gives available sizes.
