Storing your Art in Portfolio case
Sakaarian collector replied to Comic_Zone's topic in Original Comic Art
Ahhh...I'll keep that in mind for anything I happen to pick up that consists of marker work. These are done with pencils only with the exception of a few, which were also inked. The storage space for them is dark and dry so I should be good to go as far as location in concerned. Time for a new location...I need more wall space! -

Storing your Art in Portfolio case
Sakaarian collector replied to Comic_Zone's topic in Original Comic Art
I'm guessing that a few will make it to frames but most will be in these portfolios for years to come. They will be placed in a fairly dark room with shades always closed and the room temp is usually 60 to 70 degrees all year round and in a non smoking environment but I'd like the mylars to be nice and clear rather than cloudy if possible (bought some cgc bags that were cloudy that I wasn't thrilled with) but I'm mostly concerned with preserving the nice white board color as much as I can over the years. Thanks for your input. Much appreciated. -

I know most of these posts were from a few years ago. Is placing them in museum grade mylars 11x17 still the way to go and then placing them in 12x18 itoyas? Any specific 11x17 size mylars suggested so there's no worry about acid issues or otherwise down the road? Never bought them before as I only had a few OA pieces and all were framed but with all the new pieces I picked up recently, they'll have to go in a binder. Suggestions on best mylar museum grade 11x17 brand and where to buy? Looks like Amazon is still the way to go for an itoya binder that holds 12x18? Thanks -

I did these with the new scanner today and there's a vast improvement when retaining pencil detail. Not too bad for an inexpensive scanner ($230 bucks I believe) -

Those still look good for a phone. Now I'm convinced...my phone is just trash. Nice pieces btw -

I decided to try this one out. The scanner for art was fine but as you had mentioned, not for comic books. I may have to return this one and keep looking for something that handles both. Here are the comparisons for the art. One taken with a cell phone and the other with the scanner listed above. -

Thanks for giving it a shot. Maybe I'll post a before and after once I get the Epson in this weekend. Could be helpful for anyone looking to improve their pics as I am if they stumble upon this thread. -

Just purchased one of the Epsons that was suggested above. Hopefully, that should give me what I'm looking. Thanks for the input. Much appreciated.
