Re: [APML] Storing negatives and slides properly

["bert katzung" <katzung1@home.com>]

Hi Emmanuele:
I would go with the "Print File" brand of sleeves. They claim to be
archival, they don't have any smell that I can detect, and they are much
better made than the Adorama sleeves (the one other brand I've tried). Print
File is located in Florida. I don't have their address here and you probably
will want to find a European distributor. They're probably on the 'net; if
not I have their phone and address at home.
