Organizing 6x7 negatives

[MultiFormat Shooter]

I tried searching, but my Duckduckgo-foo is weak. Is there a way to get all 10 images from a 6x7 roll of 120 film in to one filing page, without them overlapping/touching each other? Are there oversized pages that allow two strips of three and two strips of two? I only have 6x4.5 and 6x9 cameras, and can cut the film into 4's and 2's, respectively.

Absolutely, there is at least one in existence and I'm using it all the time. I stores my 6x7 roll into 2 rows of 3 and 2 rows of 2. I also modified my Epson V700 negative carrier to scan 3 frame of 6x7 on a single stripe.

And I use oversized storage box for it. So all my negative sleeves fit in, including the 6x7 on one page, as well 7 stripes of 6 frame 35mm on one page.

No, not in an ordinary binder or neg sheet. I use two neg sheets per 6x7 film, no big deal because it's a part of deciding to use 6x7, but they are cheap, it's not like it's a major investment.

That's what I do, too. It's a cheap way to keep the negatives clean and organized.

The printfile sleeves @blee1996 mentions fit in the plastic Besfile binders just fine. It’s what I use as well.

A major reason for wanting a 6x8 camera .
I don't have a 6x7 camera any more. When I did, if there wasn't an obvious discard in the roll, I just continued on with a portion of the next PrintFile sheet.

Thanks, everybody! I had always been curious about 6x7 archiving. I don't really need a 6x7 camera, but then I don't really need most of the cameras I have.

Don't let logic and need hold you back!

I don't use sheetwise negative storage solutions. I order no cut from my lab and they come in a long strip of archival fold flap. I cut them with the fold flap myself to fit in my negative carriers for my scanner and the negatives go back into the side loading fold flaps and then into an archival envelope and into an archival box.

I won't use end loading sheets as I have had scratches on my negatives with them in the past. It's too risky to me to slide the negative into the sheet along the longest possible dimension. One little piece of abrasive dust and you get a big scratch along the entire length.

Also I don't have to worry about playing tetris with my storage. I just shove everything into the envelope and put it away.

My Epson V850 replacing my Epson V600 has screwed up the filing system I had for the ten 6x7 shots. The V850 only allows two shots with its film holder while the V600 holder allowed three. So now, I have to cut up old as well as new film strips into 2-2-2-2-1-1 which are difficult to handle and require blocking extraneous light. I don't know what Epson was thinking when they designed these new holders?

what Epson was thinking

"We can charge more for this new style, and then sell replacements for the old one when people figure out they hate these!"
