ITOYA ITY90801 Portfolio Advantage 8.5X11

I have used this portfolio since 2015 and it is exactly what I need. It is durable, easy to use, and looks great even 1o years later

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.

Needed to show some photo samples for a class I was taking. This is a very nice, but inexpensive portfolio. The plastic page covers are very thin, so be careful when inserting photos. But they are also very clear. I recommend this product.

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 really like the crystal clear pages and the sturdy cover

I've been keeping ink jet prints (Epson R3000, UltraChrome K3 ink, epson paper) in the larger version of these that I bought 8 months ago or so and no signs of ink transfer or sticking. Prints slide out just as easily now as they did months ago, glossy paper included. At least with the media I'm using, these things just won't stick. How will the prints look in 50 years compared to unprotected prints? That's obviously rather difficult to say, but if the archival quality of the sleeves matches what I've seen so far then it won't be the sleeves at fault. I'm more suspicious of the paper. (I don't think that even the "Ultra Premium" epson paper is considered archival quality.) I only subtract one star because the price is kind of high, and for the price I feel like they should have come with hard (box type) sleeves.

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.

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 love this portfolio. Perfect for displaying info about my family tree. One thing I was disappointed with - I wanted A4 size and could only get Letter size so all my pages had to be trimmed.
