microns?, by irf2112 on Nov 2, 2006 14:32:48 GMT 1, Ive been looking at some sleeves to store my art 'stuff'. Some are 150 microns, some 190 others 200... What does it mean? Also would you recommend a top loading portfolio case (without rings? or go with the rings...
Also - where can you buy acid free card and acid free tracing paper (like the stuff POW send out). POW are great but other places send all the prints in one tube

microns?, by mido on Nov 2, 2006 18:04:16 GMT 1, microns is the weight / thickness. the less microns the thinnner it is. Difference between 150 and 200 doesn't seem much to me (i mean even 150 is pretty thick). I think most seem to be about 190.
I have a folder with rings, but have no idea which type is better.
ebay is good for tissue paper (most mention it is acid free- I cannot imagine anyone advertising their acid filled paper! ;D)

microns?, by InactiveX on Nov 10, 2006 3:51:05 GMT 1, Thinking back to my physics lessons in the dim and distant past, 1 micron, or ยตm, is one thousandth of a millimetre.

You never used to hang around outside the Hat & Feather then?

I used to live in Bath, and I remember how the Hat & Feather used to be (about 19 years ago) surely it's changed now though?
