I've searched and googled and here are my questions:
1) What are the right boxes to store my inkjet prints in? I know about the expensive Archival Methods type stuff ($27 for a 17x22 box!) but do I really need something that expensive? It seems like most boos are made from acid-free paper nowadays. The cost of materials can't be *that* high. I would keep them in the boxes they came in but the paper I use (Ilford Gold Silk) has flimsy boxes.
2) Inkjet prints are surprisingly fragile, especially to surface damage. Shouldn't I be interleaving these somehow for storage purposes? What to use?
3) Oh, that smell! If I open a box of prints that I have stored for a while I can still smell the solvent. Hmmmm. How long should I leave the print sour before storing them, to let the solvent stuff evaporate? Does this issue impact how I should store ink jets?
