Storing Prints

One "resolution" for the new year was to begin printing out more of my images. This kinda leads me to wonder - where do I put them all.

I'll matt and frame some, but for loose prints how do you handle their storage?

Thanks for any tips.

You could use a flat file:

I bought a used flat file like the small one listed at Dick Blick for $728. Mine came from the property disposal auction for a local government agency. I paid $60 for it.

I bought my flat file used, too (Craigslist). Mine is the larger size which I also use for mat board. Before getting the flat file, I used archival boxes from Light Impressions. Their print boxes work great too.
