are the page protectors photo safe?

I have found them to be very safe for photos. I've 4 of these portfolios with my favorite photos ensconced therein. I highly recommend these things.

i do not know. It never occurred to me that the plastic could damage my photos. They've been in the book for a year and they look ok...... I take them in and out from time to time and they're not sticking to the plastic or anything.

No, these are individual transparent page protector sheets. Each may hold up to 3 thin pages.

Yes, to both questions. Though they're marketed as Project Life, they function like traditional 12x12 page protectors. Great quality, too.

It will not damage the photos and they will adhere-at least for a while-but this glue is more intended for temporary applications, such as adhering templates to material before/during cuts. I used it to glue paper onto styrofoam insulation, and it didn't stay there for longer than I needed it to.

Yes, I'm certain they are. They are also "archival quality", which means it will not damage photos over time. In my opinion this is one of the best brands without spending hundreds of dollars.

They're fairly lightweight, so I would think the heavier type of sheet protector would be better for photos.

They zinc photo paper is not like Polaroids. So it should be fine inside the device.

No. The pictures slide into an open "frame"/page. The picture is exposed and not protected. My photographer gives me my pictures in a clear sleeve that will slide into these pages which helps protect my pictures. I only have to trimthe edge of the protective sleeve a little for it to fit into the page of the album. Great album. I have two of them.

I haven't had any issues with them. I use them to print labels for wedding events. I put wedding pictures on them and print them on laser printer.

No they're not and they don't rip out clean either. Usually bring another page or two with it. I use a razor and cut it off sometimes

Yes, you can make your contact sheet (presumably B&W;) by passing light through the preserver with the negatives safely in place, protected from scratches and dust..

Yes, they are, and they don't need protection between them--BUT the plates do. If you don't put a paper plate or paper towel or something between the RR plates they will get scratched and damaged.

This is what it says on the front of the package, "Protect items from damage; Clear professional finish; Uses for: certificates, signs, awards, calendars, kids artwork. On the back it says, "Clear to let important information show through; Keep items clean; Use with Scotch Thermal Laminators; Photo safe* (*Photo safe determined in accordance with ISO Standard 18916); Other uses: Calendars, Schedules, Photos." I would assume that it is.

The photos I have in there now are secure, and the only way they have come out is by turning the page upside and shaking vigorously. I just tested an empty 4¼" x 5¾" envelope and shook it upside down. It came out much easier than the photo. I suspect if they are filled envelopes and are slightly bigger, it would be more secure in the flap.

I never have. I guess it would depend on if they are individual 8.5 x 11 paper. The are many different settings and watermarking features if I recall.

Plastic inherently has damaging chemicals. "Archival" merely means there are less. Would I put 150 yr old photos in these? No. Would I store general family photos with the expectation of them staying in the sleeves for 20-40 yrs? I think you are safe. I have only had mine for a year and in 60-80 degree temps, no extremes.

Not really. Try to send them back, or resell them. You can use them to store papers and pictures, but these will slide out if it's not heat laminated. Not worth the hassle.
