Hey all, I'm about to move in with a cigarette smoker for the immediate future and am looking for tips on making sure my prints don't reek of smoke. My collection will be stored between a bunch of foamcore the entire time. I'm wondering if anyone has a suggestion as to what I can wrap or store the boards in for extra protection.

Move somewhere else and/or store prints somewhere else.

You could take the foamcore, wrap it in plastic wrap and put it inside one of those archival art storage boxes (if you can find one big enough). I've never owned any of those boxes personally, so I'm not sure where to purchase them. Anybody else know where to get them?

I don't think they still make the really big ones. The ones I've got are like 30x40 that I bought maybe 7 years ago.

Thanks for the advice, RA and greenhorn1. I'll see if I can track down a box like that in a larger size.
pvecchi and Codeblue, wish either of those were options. I'm staying there rent-free so I'd feel jerky asking them to smoke outside. I will ask that it doesn't happen on the top floor where I'm staying, at least. Within six months I should have a new place of my own, thankfully.
