Hello,
I am a newbie; recently and severely infected with poster fever. My wife thinks it's just a midlife crisis, but she just doesn't understand. Anyway, when I told her about my new passion, she gave me a snaky mal'occhio and asked: "And where, exactly, are you gonna put all these posters you plan on acquiring?!?!?" Good question and one I probably should have considered before purchasing 6 posters, one of which is 40 x 90.
So, I've been doing a lot of research and came across the Spotlight Displays (SD) product and website by way of this forum, which, by the way, is absolutely fantastic! The owner of SD has placed this video on youtube, where he highlights that one of the benefits of the SD frame is that you can store multiple posters inside the frame:
Based on the little that I've read regarding the storage of movie posters, combined with my lack of experience, I have concerns/questions regarding this method. While the owner of SD notes that his posters have not bled, he confirms that they've only been stored from 3 to 6 months within the frame. What about in the long-term? Is there a risk that the folders will eventually damage each other? Should some sort of acid-free paper/plastic be placed between each poster? Essentially what I'm asking is: "Is this a short-term storage solution until you find something permanent or can you safely store them this way long-term?"
I would really appreciate hearing your opinion and/or experiences regarding this method of storing posters.
Thanks.
