    Negative envelopes for wholeplate?

    My new Argentum wholeplate camera will soon be arriving, and I'm wondering if anyone has come across envelopes for wp?
    If not, where are you buying your 8x10 envelopes? I thought I'd buy from Light Impressions, but it turns out they have a minimum of $250 on international orders.
    Thanks for any tips - especially from Europe ..

    www.fotoimpex.de has pergamin envelopes - they're not supposed to be archival (AFAIK) in the long term but may work well anyway.

    Thanks for that Jimi. Looks interesting since they have envelopes for 18x24cm film, which is smaller than 8x10.

    Just what I was thinking too.

    Our Vue-All sleeves and negative and print protectors are archival polypropylene.

    This is what I use for 8x10, but they'll make them in WP size if you want...

    A little more research. They have a UK office, and in their UK cataloge they have this in WP size (but for glass plates)...

    Might be worth your while to call them and see what they have that would work best for you.

    This place:

    http://www.climaxphoto.com/wide_format_sleeves.htm

    has added WP sleeves to their stock; they alsohave other "odd" sizes such as 7x11, 5x12, 10x12, etc. as well as the usual common 8x20, 7x17 etc.

    I just use 8x10 Vue-All sleeves. It is actually easier to get the negative out of the oversized sleeve.
