How are you storing your large prints?

The photos that you have printed, however don't have framed or hanging.  How are you storing these?

I used to store these in rolls but I changed strategy.
I got this system since… good move:

Light is free… capturing it is not!

I place mine in old paper boxes that held the print paper.  They are heavier stock cardboard  and work just fine.

Mine are in the original paper box too.  Every 6-8 months I'll take my best photos and get the printed into a photo album book.  That way my favorite shots are never forgotten.

I have an old dresser that I use to store my photography gear in and one drawer has all my loose prints.

Depends on size.
I have a lot of Ilford paper boxes an envelopes left from darkroom days, so lots od different size boxes for every size.
Then I have an A0 artist folder for big prints. But this is just to get from printers to framers without damage. I do not keep A1 and A0 prints unframed.

Have you all tried one of those digital frames that are 36"?  I was looking at one, but nearly $600 bucks.  Curious on the image quality and did you find it worth it?  That would solve problem with photos all over.

I can do similar with my 30" monitor or fifty six inch TV.  I still have a few large prints from years ago stored in the original shipping box, awaiting frames.....(lazy)
Now I have a desktop folder where I keep my printed/printable images ready to print with a button press......

To buy a printer you must be printing large volumes. I do not.
I send in to the top printer in the city.
