seriously, you could probably buy acid free uncut sheets for cheap, around $10. Get 2, and whalah. Flat in no time. Just tuck under a bed.

go to dickblick (or any other art store) and buy two big ass pieces of acid free foamcore (if it doesnt say acid free assume that it isnt. find someone that works there and ask). then buy a roll of glassine paper. its acid free as well (and semi transparent). place a piece of glassine between each print, sandwich them between the two pieces of foamcore, and use some clips to hold the delicious sandwich together. voila, you have on ghetto acid free storage system. for added protection, get one of the big bags that they use to ship the foamcore in and put the whole thing in that. then slide it under a couch or something (NOT under the bed. that has bad idea written all over it)

I've purchased various conservation acid-free paper/boxes/handling gloves/etc. from Talas in the past as they are here in NY and I can get them without waiting for shipping... However the general consensus from people I've talked to is that Talas is over priced. And those boxes don't seem to be an exception... though I am new to print collecting, and haven't researched many alternatives. :/

I picked up the 60"x36"x 6" acid free from Talas. they are not in the city anymore so i had to schlepp it to Brooklyn to buy it.
