Is the paper acid-free? Are there other materials used/avoided to help with preservation of photos?

Wouldn't know to be honest.. Where you place the photos is a hard material .. Really good quality or so I think.. With a thin plastic sheet over .. Holds a lot of pictures.. Hope this helps if anything.. :)

Not sure if the pages are acid free. The pages are paper with plastic sleeves. On the side of the sleeve closest to the binding there is a spot where you can write information about each individual photo.

I just use recommended paper, sorry. Maybe Canon web site or their "contact" people can answer.

Hi Kathryn, since there is no mention in the product information about the pages being acid free, I think you have to assume that they are not. That would surely be a great selling point and if they could use that as a promotion for the product they would. I'm still using mine to hold recipes, not nearly as dear to me as photos would be so I wasn't thinking along the same lines as you when I bought these. Judy

I have never attempted to use anything other than paper. You probably should check with Epson.

Yes its plastic. No paper and not (as far as I can tell) recycleable in any way or form.

http://www.c-lineproducts.com/qp424-35mm-storage-photo.html description doesn't specify archival quality. Have noted no deterioration of photos in 2 years but certainly that may not be indicative

The packaging says, "Archival." I wasn't sure if that meant acid-free or not, so I googled it. :) Google defines "archival" as - "A non-technical term which suggests that a substance is permanent, durable, and chemically stable. There is no guarantee that is the case. It is safer to look for acid free and lignin free when purchasing scrapbooking components." I don't know if you are looking to use the labels for scrapbooking or not. I use mine on the back of storage containers to hold information about the contents of the containers. Hope this information is helpful!

The box does not mention being acid free, nor does the manufacturers web side (www.smead.com) mention acid free. It does contain 10% post consumer recycled material. The 4x6" card guides product number is 56030, if you want to contact Smead Manufacturing directly. I was impressed by the quality of the index cards. They are heavyweight, most items like this keep getting thinner and thinner. These are sturdy and I will be ordering them again. If it doesn't say acid free, it probably isn't. I am using them as dividers for old family photos, even though I know acid free is always the way to go with photos.

No where on the package or on the inserted instructions does it say "acid free", so I am inclined to say these are not archival safe. I myself use them in multimedia art projects. They print up beautifully. I seal my images with Aileen's Matte spray sealer after printing.

Vinyl is cleanable, thick and great for a seamless photo. Paper is disposable, and tears easy I use vinyl in most of my shoots and use the paper when I'm doing a shoot where the vinyl might get stained like doing a child's first birthday cake smash shoot.

I can only tell you that the box my paper came in does not say acid free anywhere on it.

If you are printing photos - you can buy photo quality paper. I just use multipurpose white paper - its completely up to you!

I am not sure they are labelled as archival, but I love to store my photos in them. I have not had any problems.

Yes and no. It is the only paper I use for everyday use. It has Colorlok, which makes it usable for photos, but it is not photo paper. Though I do use it for photos and they are usable prints, for general use. Example, pic of a neighbors yard, to show to your Association Board and not waste, Premium Photo Paper.You are not going to have a high gloss photo, as you would with HP Premium Photo Paper, High Gloss.
