See my response earlier in the thread. I was using a box w/ either interleaving tissue and/or clearbags. I recently got an Itoya 13x19 and I certainly 'get' what Chez is talking about. A big piece of the print experience is in the tactile feel of the paper and surface. You can really lose that w/ an Itoya or similar (or clearbag) although most people don't appreciate that part of it. They know that something is 'different' about those prints (ie. matte or cotton rag) but can't verbalize what it is.
The Itoya is convenient but I'm still debating on whether to continue using it or go back. It's very hard to add or resequence the prints in the Itoya and a 13x19 book w/ 48 pages is pretty big already. I would think it's better if you tend to show the book/prints a lot to customers or teachers etc. In a box, the prints would inevitably get oils and damaged etc.
Each system has its pros and cons but having both, I think I'm leaning toward the box.
