Archival Sleeve for Prints

[Dean Wilson]

Hello nice people, I am trying something for the first time:

I just received 10 of my photos from the printers (12" x 18") Archival Ink Jet on Photo Rag Ultra Smooth (Matte) and mounted on 3mm Rag Board. I stopped by a local Art Store for Archival Sleeves to protect against fingerprints. Once inside the sleeves the glare off the plastic is very pronounced.

I know this is due to lighting conditions, but do they make a matte finish sleeve that doesn't glare, while also not diminishing the quality of the photo or is this normal and best delt with by viewing under proper lighting conditions?

Thank you all!

It has been about 15 years since I purchased any sleeves like this, but when I used to shoot kids sports teams and high school team photos, I used to buy bags from these people to deliver the print packages to the parents. https://www.bagsunlimited.com/produ...2-716-x-18-14polypropylene1-12resealable-flap

You typically have to buy 25 or 50 etc., but maybe they will have something for you. Good luck.
