Can you please tell me how to use this paper to preserve fine art prints that are rolled up? Or must they be flattened and put in an art folder?

If the prints came rolled up, I would put sheets above and below the prints, roll them back up and store them on the tube in which they came. Just keep in mind that you will have to be very careful when you unroll them so that you do not crease them. It is preferable to store prints flat--if you have the space. If you decide to display prints that have been rolled up, you may have to place heavy objects on the prints for a few days (with the buffered paper protecting each side to flatten them).

I used regular resolution, not photo of any type. It seems to work better. This is not glossy photo paper, so the ink adheres differently than it would on photo stock. You won't get that sort of ultra fine resolution. To be fair, I only printed text, but I tried higher resolutions and they actually were worse instead of better. Hope this helps!

These are actually plastic folders that you place the cardstock or paper or whatever you want to emboss into and run it through an embossing machine like a Cuttlebug or Sizzix. HOWEVER....I think you could try placing what you want to emboss on the one side of the folder and use a stylus or embossing tool to push into the indentations to create an embossed look....NOPE....sorry...I just tried it and it DIDN'T work so well because I couldn't see where the design was to know where to push the stylus. You definitely need to use an embossing machine.

If it's like my 8550, there's a slotted tray for 4x6 paper. You can see it thru a window in the hinged thing above where you put in large paper. The very top of the hinged thing is an extensible tray for receiving prints, and just under that is the 4x6 tray.

I have not. I have printed out several photos and not had a problem. It has been almost a year for some of them, and they still look as great as they did when I printed them. I use the best photo paper and print with the highest quality. I do not know why the age of your paper would make a difference though.

I just left mine in the bag and laid it flat on the table. Cool dry place. May want to put it in the fridge right before you use it makes it easier to take off the paper.

It is not a smooth surface at all. But does not show texture. If you haven't tried it, please do so. My prints are beautiful on this paper and are perfect for galleries or museums.

I cut the paper as close to the size of the drawer or shelf as possible. Then I rolled it backwards from the way it came off the roll to take out the roll memory and get it to lay pretty flat. Once in and I put the items back into the drawer or shelf, the weight of the items tends to keep the paper in place.

I have...these are really lovely as one medium in a mixed-media piece. Try gesso-ing the surface before and these spread like a DREAM! (You don't have to spend a whole lot of money at first to experiment with a gesso if you're not going to use it otherwise, so don't get overwhelmed with all the choices/price points - I did.) I did this on journal paper that, without gesso, really doesn't like to be wet (it's a recycled, pulpy paper) and this method worked well.

Interesting question! I don't have the answer for this but you may want to research http://www.printfile.com/Buffered%20And%20Unbuffered%20Storage%20Materials.pdf, OR contact the company directly. I believed that this tissue paper being unbuffered may bee used for silver for short term use. However, you may want to look for a more specific type of tissue with an "Anti-Tarnish" tissue paper for long term storage. Hope this helps.

The paper is supposed to stay flat but I did not trust it because it comes rolled up. It probably would have stayed flat because only cans and boxes were going to be stored on it, but I cheated and used a little tape beneath it (folded to make it double sided). Please be aware that this paper is only supposed to be good for three weeks (per the directions) which was okay for me because I only needed it to get rid of some mites that got into my pantry via a bag of flour. I also added the old school remedy of one third ammonia and two thirds apple cider vinegar which also attracts and kills critters. Please let me know what works for you.

It's considered tear away paper because it has a small border that you remove before use. I don't believe it messes the design up at all. We are using it for pirate treasure maps. It looks like an old scroll paper....just smaller than a traditional 8.5x11 paper.

yes, the images are excellent quality. I use epson paper specifically watercolor radiant for proofing and Velvet for finished product. As with any printing you must check your colors carefully, if in doubt I lighten images. I digital "paint" photos. The paper is good enough to draw on the ink which is what I do. Make sure you use the correct side of the paper!!

Dear a. Clay ; The art box Is great product, with everything you will need for water Colours, coloured pencils, pastels and mixed medium art. However the is no storage space for your drawing book nor water colouring canvas. Besides you would not want to put your art work in the same Box as these type of art tools due to the chance of pastel dust or for that matter flakes from the coloured pencils contaminating the work by carring the kit about. I have a messenger bag for my drawing books , canvases, along with other art items that I may need. I found a great messenger ( canvas with multi dividers on the interior and exterior with zip pockets ) that I use to carry other items I May Need , the just you'll never know items. The price was very reasonable and comes with a shoulder strap so it' s out of my way and it was on sale . I believe I paid 29.95 (+) shipping the bag is not nor does it look like a cheap bag so check on one of those. Hopes this helps you. Sincerely , Zazou

Whenever I receive any type of poster/paper rolled up, I roll it the opposite way it was rolled and keep it that way for a few minutes. Have you tried that?
