Jim, I got mine today very nice... Thanks... Now I need to figure out what images I want to put inside it.... What kind of paper should I use to put in front for the title of the folio? Card stock? any advice would be very helpful...

Ted,

I'm printing an image with title on my regular photo paper. Then I permanently mount it to the backing or "base board." While I haven't yet, I will then glue/mount that base board into the folio so that it is permanently in place and the photo/title shows through the window. What you use depends on how many images and other pieces of paper you put into the folio. Currently, I'm using two different boards. One is a 3/16 black foam core and the other is an 8 ply white mat board. (If you want to put even more pieces into the folio, regular 4 ply mat board will probably allow you to put 30 or so pieces of paper inside.) They have slightly different thicknesses and allow me to adjust the number of images and other info I put inside the folio. Hope this helps.

I was thinking of using rice paper which is partially translucent and have the title of the folio printed on it as well then mount or glue so it can be seen thru as well as the image... is able to be seen just not as clear as yours.... what do you think by the way where are you going on your trip west?
