A3 Presentation Folder

I bought one of these, which has plastic wallets inside - but that can introduce glare when viewing the prints.

What I think would work well is a book with black border frames that you can just slip images into.

Anyone aware of a good solution?

thanks,

Watching the thread with the same question and interest...

What about just using a portfolio binder like this. If you printed with a border surrounding then you wouldn't need to punch in to the actual images either that or you could probaly diy a kinded matt frame for them that you could punch.

I already have a lot of A3 prints already, don't want to reprint them.

But I suppose some kind of DIY is always an option

Robb Grimm did a segement on his creative live class on his print books, They looked good there's a blog post here with a link to who makes his binders and how he preps images but no images unfortunately http://rggphoto.com/blog/2013/5/22/st-louis-chicago-commercial-photography will see if I can find the video from that part online.

I thought perhaps an alternative would be just A3 card book that I can spray mount the prints too, maybe one that has tissue paper between each one - I recall that being a thing..

Thanks, seems like a nice option - except that you don't get to lay the image flat as it gets lost in the binding.

Not sure if exactly suitable but Fotospeed Easy Books might work for you - https://www.fotospeed.com/Easy-Books/products/1327/

I have one of these portfolios for displaying prints. They are not cheap but its a quality item.
They come with black paper within each sleeve which would present that black border if you order one slightly larger than your print size.

thanks, the border wasn't a necessity - just looking to avoid sleeves that can degrade the view of the image.

The sleeves within the linked portfolio are very good, I certainly haven't noticed any degradation.
I'd recommend it as a quality product.
