ATLEX.COM Discount inkjet supplies.
Media Street

"I have used the Media Street plug and play inks.
Fraction of the cost of the Epson and great. I know
many don't want to play with non-epson, but I have had
very good luck. No profiling, out of the box with my
1280, PS 7 and a Macintosh."
- Jane Coelho

Notes - The inks Jane used were dye based and not archival. She used the pre-loaded cartridges, not a continuous ink system. Another member of the SIG found that Media Street's continuous ink system clogged his printer.

APEC

American Printing and Envelope Company makes photo mailers up to 17" x 22". They consist of an envelope with string closure and two pieces of cardboard. The envelope can be re-used if you only use the string closure or taped shut for mailing. The corrugations in the two pieces of cardboard are at right angles to prevent bending.

The 17" x 22" size is about $2 each. They must be ordered in boxes of 25.

Archival Methods Archival quality [age protectors, binders and supplies for storing photos.
B&H Photo

A great photography and video store located on the corner of 9th Avenue and 34 Street. Prices are low, but not the lowest. Great selection and a reliable store that has been around for many years.

Jewish owned so they are not open late Friday or Saturday. They are open Sunday.

AmericanFrame.com

Americanframe.com is a reasonable place to order custom frame kits, especially standard exhibition metal frames. They will make any size frame you need, and will cut a mat to whatever opening size you specify.

Their service has been good; shipping is expensive so it pays to gather large orders.

Pearl Paint Pearl paint on Canal street has stories of artists materials, it is probably the largest in the city with scads and scads of materials. Its worth visiting.
The House of Portfolios Custom made binders, boxes and portfolios. Reasonably priced to extravagant.

Polk Traditions

Woven wall hangings, throws, pillows, etc. from your photos. They use 15 colors of thread to actually weave the image into the onject. A number of us saw examples at the 2005 PhotoPlus show. The samples were very impressive, but I have not tried the service yet.
