The culprit seemed rather obvious, the plastic negative
sleeves seem to attract whatever grime is floating around
my messenger bag. Anyone have any suggestions on
protecting negatives?
A messenger bag? Is that any place to store negatives?
I've clean in good condition 50 year old negatives stored
in Glassine sleeves. I recommend Glassine. Dan

Yeah, that's exactly what I do.Put the in Printfile (prinfile is the brand) pages and pu them in a 3 ring binder
I just tried to print some negatives that I shot a few months ago. I thought I could make better prints that what I had originally made. However, I found the negatives to be scratched and dirty even though they hadn't been removed from the negative sleeves in between the 2 printing sessions. The culprit seemed rather obvious, the plastic negative sleeves seem to attract whatever grime is floating around my messenger bag. Anyone have any suggestions on protecting negatives?

What prithee tell, is a messenger bag?
Listen to Kurt, he know's how to do it right.
A comment about Kraft and Glassine papers...
They are considered "utility grade" papers and fail the PAT test miserably.
Both are highly acidic and prone to high sulfur release as they age.
A simple pH test pen should be basic equipment for anyone who is concerned about the archival quality of their storage materials.
