ProFolio by Itoya, Art Profolio Advantage, 24 Sheets Presentation Book - Portrait, 8 x 10 Inches

wonderful, using as a portfolio

I've been using Itoya ProFolio products for about 10 years now, if not longer than that.Itoya has different series of their ProFolio line. I've bought TWO 8½" x 11"s of the "Original Art ProFolio" which is a nice entry level album to hold art or photographs at an attractive price. The front of this album has a clear pocket for you to slide whatever you need for a nice presentation. The opening and closing of these albums have perforated edges and it's a lightweight product. I needed these for a very specific task which it fulfilled, otherwise I skip ahead TWO LEVELS UP with the next product line...I have FOUR mid-level and definitely more robust "ProFolio Advantage" photo albums in varying sizes of two 8" x 10"s and TWO 13" x 19"s. This product range is really eXcellent at reasonable price points. The opening and closing of these albums have a much thicker outside flaps with perforated edges as well, but there are also flat head rivets in the spine for a nice reinforcement. For a balance of quality and robustness, I generally don't go lower than buying the "ProFolio Advantage" line. This review is based on the second 8" x 10" size that I bought here on Amazon.Finally, there is the Itoya "ProFolio Professional" line of product. I own one 17" x 22" art and photography presentation book to show off and sell my larger print photography. Most eXcellent quality and sturdy robustness with a metal handle with a rubber grips, large pockets on the inside front and back, a multi-ring binder to take pages out and out in and an elastic band to hold things in place. The flaps zipper up and there are even sturdier flat head rivets on the spine for reinforcement.Itoya has a vast product line of other stuff, but for photography (and some art) purposes the above fits the bills for me.All HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I bought this to hold 8x10 photos, since I assumed an "8x10 photo album" would hold 8x10 photos.....I was wrong!!! It is too small to hold 8x10 photos. Back it goes.

I have ordered these ProFolios in the past & have always liked them. This one came with the plastic label on the front cover wrinkled & removed it. Would have been ok, but when I was putting treasured photos in this album, there were plastic sleeves that had no black dividers in them!! Was this a returned item & then resold??Very disappointing!!!!

I purchased several different Itoya Presentation books to compare. This one, The Advantage, is superior to the others. The covers are stiff and durable, and the plastic pages are crystal clear so you can really see the photos perfectly!As far as the other Itoya books, second choice would be the Evolution line, much more light weight and plastic pages slightly less clear.The other Itoya book, The Original, it has a very nice cover sturdy but not as thick as the Advantage, and it's smooth and feels nice. The big drawback of "The Original" it doesn't have the crystal clear pages, pages are a little foggy.
