Re: [artshow_photo] Question about transporting prints

OR, go to your local office supply store and get a couple of empty
paper ream boxes (they hold 5 reams of paper). They fit 8x10s
perfectly, lid and all. Then for 11x14s, I use milk crates. They're
harder to find, but the longer 18" size is GREAT. It holds over 100
prints matted - not rain-proof though.
