伊東屋ART PROFOLIO - 18X24

Excellent quality binder that is large enough to hold poster size items.

Buen tamaño, buena calidad. Es cómodo y práctico de usar y todas mis imagenes se ven claramente y quedan en acceso rápido.

As an experienced photographer, (I got serious about it back in 1980 and have been ever since), I started learning about large format printing in the mid-90's. I purchased my first large-format printer and took a one-year apprentice course for fine-art printing around 2007/2008.Presently, I print all my work on an Epson Stylus Pro 7890 printer. Anything that I print with a long edge no more than 24" and no wider than 18", now goes into one of my two Itoya Art Portfolio presentation books.These books are very well made and have a neat, narrow, binder. I print on heavy, high-quality, sheet and rolled, papers. Most of my mediums are 100% cotton, fine-art photo rag and between 325 & 400 GSM or more, including the canvases. The weight of these papers adds up quickly and yet my 18” x 24” Itoya book handles them without collapsing.The front and back covers of the book are rigid and so is the binder. The book protects the images and maintains its shape. I must note that I did add three Velcro strips to my 18 x 24 book, that keep the back and front cover closed when stored away upright, (I attached them and they behave like ‘latches’). I didn’t feel I needed that for the smaller 13 x 19 book.The pages are crystal clear, (no ‘reinforcement grid pattern), and each pocket, or envelope, (which is designed to accept two prints), has a black acid-free paper sheet to separate the images rather than placing them back-to-back.I much prefer the black separator sheet as opposed to some manufacturers who use a white colored sheet.Actually, I have two 13" x 19" Itoya presentation books and one 18" x 24" version. I also print very large images that are 24" x 85" and then there are the special print jobs that can exceed 60" x 80", (for which I use a tiling presentation technique).Most of the prints that exceed the 18" x 24" size will fit in one of the three rigid-sided Portfolios that can accept up to 26" wide x 36" long prints. However, the Itoya Art Portfolio books are the best way to present sample images that may be meant to be printed in larger sizes if the viewer is interested.Therefore, many of my largest prints have a 'sample-sized version', which is stored in the Itoya books. This keeps me from pulling out the ungainly, large, portfolios and then searching for a safe place to open the case and risking tearing or damage.I can first show the smaller, 18" x 24" or even the 13" x 19" versions. Then, if someone is interested in seeing one that's printed in its full size, I can go to my largest formatted, storage portfolios to retrieve it.I have two expensive Moab Chinyl cases for my 13” x 19” prints and I must say that the Itoya Art Portfolio books are far more practical and considerably less expensive. The fact that the prints are protected from direct contact means that the images will last a lot longer than any other storage method I’ve used.I strongly recommend the Itoya Art Portfolio books and caution against buying the other, less expensive, copies from other manufacturers. The Itoya brand seems to take all factors in consideration, from the increasing weight of each image that’s added to the book, to the visibility and clarity of the envelope-pages.This is a top-quality product, fit to present the best of your work.Rich
