ITOYA ITY90801 Portfolio Advantage 8.5X11

This is my "go to" portfolio for my job as a Wedding Officiant. It's sturdy enough that I can clip a lapel microphone and power pack to it with no issues. Clear sheets stay clear and my wedding script goes in with no issues.

Initially use them for recipes and bought at a specialty store. Googled the manufacturer and bought a few here at a cheaper price. Use them for legal documents, recipes, photos etc. Like the fact they have a slim profile. I read it is a favorite of Ina Garten to keep free recipe index to her cookbooks.

I use these portfolios for high quality 8 1/2 x 11 photos. They are sturdy due to their light weight but sturdy covers. The pages all have black sheet inserts. The pages are extremely clear and appear to be sturdy. I compared several different folios. Some had covers which were too largd and most had soft flimsy covers.

I purchased several different Itoya Presentation books to compare. This one, The Advantage, is superior to the others. The covers are stiff and durable, and the plastic pages are crystal clear so you can really see the photos perfectly!As far as the other Itoya books, second choice would be the Evolution line, much more light weight and plastic pages slightly less clear.The other Itoya book, The Original, it has a very nice cover sturdy but not as thick as the Advantage, and it's smooth and feels nice. The big drawback of "The Original" it doesn't have the crystal clear pages, pages are a little foggy.

I really like the crystal clear pages and the sturdy cover

This album is the best I've ever used for antique prints that require archival sleeves. The plastic is exceptionally clear and sharp and won't distort the look of minute details on artwork, photos, prints, etc. The albums themselves are sturdy, yet compact, and give a professional look to the work inside. I can't be happier with these!

The cases look good. The artwork paper is dulled a little, but the transparency is really good. However, the cases are stiff with very, very little extra wiggle room to get a normal 8.5 x 11 page inside. I have some older models from a decade ago which I prefer a lot more, but my oldest one is tattered so I grabbed this new model. I prefer the old models a lot. I wish there were competitors... Reply this with a comment if you know of any alternatives.

This portfolio allows me to present my Art and Photography in a professional manner.
