I've noticed this and wondered about it as well. My notebooks containing my neg pages are wrapped in plastic bags which seems to keep dust off the pages. Over time, older pages look kind of dusty and worn and I've replaced or wiped those down. I don't think that the pages themselves are causing any issues for you. I could see it if there was dust in the pages and the negs moved against that dust. Also one might have added scratches in their last handling of their negs, either placing in or removing from the neg carrier, although I assume we all tend to be careful when handling them. Dust has always been an inherent evil in the negative process and scratches just add to that misery. Despite our best efforts they still seem to show up. e On Friday, November 8, 2013 6:08 PM, İbrahim Pamuk <ibrahim.pamuk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Hi, I have been storing my negatives in 5/6 frames strips in plastic based archiving storage sheets. Recently I have noticed that too muck dust, etc has been sticked on the storage sheet. I hope that would not cause any problems with my negatives. Also I have noticed that scratches have happened. I am not very sure that I have done them while taking the negatives out and then after printing putting it back. Would plastic based sheets cause any scratches while putting and taking negatives out? Any experience on the topic? Should I store the bulk of sheets with negatives, that is my files, with in refrigerator?
