IMO the prints should stay with you. I would be more worried about the level of humidity. From my little research it appears mylar melting point is around 250-260 degrees celcius (480-500 f)igotid wrote:Any issues with mylar sleeves and moving in the heat?

I need more. Nothing seems to satisfy. I don't want it. I just need it. To feel, to breathe, to know I'm alive. - MJK

That’s what I’m leaning towards. Although it’s from Portland to Austin so that’s a 3-4 day trek. May be worth it to safeguard the prints.ToolFanFromWayBack wrote:IMO the prints should stay with you.

How many prints are we talking and how expensive? If they are in portfolios, I would say take them with you in the car and into the hotel at night. A flat file full would be a pain to transport and might be better left to the movers.igotid wrote:That’s what I’m leaning towards. Although it’s from Portland to Austin so that’s a 3-4 day trek.

I moved from FL to CO a couple years back with over 1000 prints and had no issues with mylar sleeves... I spent a lot of time carefully sorting and packing and we used U-Pack, so I loaded and unloaded everything. The only thing I could see you potentially having trouble with are prints hand-finished with paint - might pack those in a tube and throw them in your car.
