Looking for a source to order print sized tissue paper similar to the ones that Mondo uses for wrapping posters? If anybody can point me to some urls that would be great. Can't seem to find them and ran out of mine. Thanks!

If you're using it to store your prints, maybe switch over to glassine paper. You can buy rolls of it at Blicks or other online art supply stores.

I pick up my archival tissue paper at The Container Store. It's sized like 30 x 40 and comes in packs of 20 sheets for like 10 bucks. Over in their closet stuff section. Sure they must have it available online as well.

Good advice, but that particular wording made me laugh. Like archival Charmin or something. :lol:

it's for shipping prints... just need one sheet for the interior, the outside is craft paper.

If you're just using it for shipping prints I'd just buy store bought non archival on the cheap and use 2 which is enough to cover a 24x36. It's not like the Mondo brand is archival and neither is Kraft paper

I've been using this stuff for shipping for the last couple of years and I like it much, much better than glassine or tissue. It's smooth so it doesn't damage the print, not as slippery as glassine so it's much easier to roll and it's dirt cheap. Plus it's 24x36.
