Fiodor Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I have Print File pages with 7 strips of 6 frames of 35mm film. They measure 10 x 11,5 in / 25,4 x 29,3cm Print File Archival Storage Page for Negatives, 35mm - 010-0115 They don’t sell negative binders in my city, so I have to buy them online. I am looking for a box binder with rings, something simple and good. I can’t find information about which is the correct model for strips of 6 frames. What binder do you recommend?

Fiodor Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 Hi thirteenthumbs, I need the binders, not the pages. I suppose you wanted me to look at the binders recommended for the pages? Anyway, it was a good idea to look for binders of the same brand. You opened my mind. I think this Print File GBB12112 Metal-Edge Box Binder (Gray) 215-0050 B&H or this Print File Micro-Perforated Box Binder 215-1000 B&H Photo Video will do the job. Also, buying them in the Print File page is cheaper. I don’t know about the shipping, I’ll see. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_hutcherson Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Must they be negative binders? I've always used standard "D ring" 3 ring binders from office supply stores. Oversized ones that will protect "extra wide" pages(like the ones I use for 6x7cm film) can be had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another late night misread that turned out ballpark correct or is it football stadium correct in your part of the world? I too use common binders from office stores and general retail stores.

Fiodor Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 What about dust? In office stores there are also binder boxes, without rings. Maybe I could get rings and stick them inside the box. These special binders are made of “archival” materials. How important is this, if the negatives are already in the special sheets? Probably not too much. But I suppose someone pays for those overpriced special binders for design and tidiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_hutcherson Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I've never worried about dust with the standard vinyl covered 3-ring. You can get some if the binding splits and exposes the cardboard interior, but if your binders live on a shelf/in a box and you don't overstuff them you shouldn't have to worry about that(I generally only had binding issues when I was in middle and high school and overall pretty rough on that kind of stuff). The printfile pages themselves do a decent enough job of keeping dust out, although if you handle film dust is inevitable. In addition, I find wet printing to be a lot more tolerant of dust than scanning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiodor Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 Well, I suppose a standard binder could be also kept inside a plastic bag or wrapped in paper, to protect from dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
