And I thought I was the only one...... Have been using 7 x 6 sheets.
After some fussing including reticence to blow into the slot to open
lest it introduce moisture, used a 50cc syringe with a hose connector (
any air source will do) to first 'open' the slot. Have also used a
wooden paint stir stick (clean one obviously) to which I lay the film
strip on top then insert. Pre-insertion of the stick is about as
effective as inflating with air. First tried with a plastic ruler - -
a no no since it leaves static charge.
Perhaps dumb dog tricks, but they work for me.

Can anyone recommend a negative archival preserver, the plastic sheets
that you can slip negatives into and then put into a binder. I bought
some PrintFile negative preservers that hold 7 strips of 5 negatives
(35-7B). I'm actually using them for 35mm slide film. My problem with
this brand is the difficulty I have in sliding the film into position.
I get about 3-4 frames in and the friction makes it difficult to slide
the film the rest of the way. I would like something a bit looser, but
also can be put into a binder for storage. Any recommendations?
