This portfolio is a great way to hold/display 13x19 images. If lies flat when opened and the pages are sturdy and very clear. As others have mentioned, the rings are two units that are not perfectly aligned so it can be a bit tedious to flip pages. Nevertheless, this is a well made and very valuable way to handle this size image.
First, I would like to apologize to the seller for mixing up my seller review with another product that came damaged from another seller. The binder came perfect, and on time. Thank you, and sorry.
As for the binder, I started using them about five years ago, and once I got over the Itoya kinda-weird sizes, I realized that the 11x14 size is perfect for showing my photos. I started out using their ART series, mostly because of the price, but finally moved on to the Multi-Ring Binder because of the organizational easiness (If you need to change a photo position in the ART series, you have to move a whole bunch of photos together, but in the Binder, you just move the whole pages). Yes, it is more expensive, but SO MUCH MORE versatile, and then there are the added benefits: First, you can put double the photos in a single binder, if not more. Second, it has so much sturdier cover, and it is much more professional looking. Third, the backing pages are much thicker and more protective this surprised me, and it makes a big difference when a client turns the pages. And fourth, the sleeves seem to be more transparent, and they seem to last longer (the ART ones seem to get cloudy over time, mostly from overuse, I'm sure, because I keep taking photos out of them).
Like I said, the only downside is the price, especially for the sleeves. I usually get a binder, which comes with 11 sleeves, and then wait for a 60% coupon from Michaels and get the sleeves for $10.00, or so. But even with the added cost, they are so worth it, especially for professionals.

This thing is amazing! I wouldn't normally rave about a binder but the design, size, and sheets are very professional looking and you can fit a LOT of material in the binder. I purchased the 13x19 size after having picked up one of the Profolio Advantage binders and use it for photographs that I have printed out on my Canon Pro-10 printer. I can say without a doubt that this thing blows the Advantage binder out of the water. It had a larger front and back cover due to being able to be refilled, the binder rings appear coated nicely with a black powder coat (no silver binder rings), the cover is much, much stiffer than the Advantage binder, and even has a professional looking texture. As others have noted, the fact that you can remove and add pages means that you can easily swap pages without having to remove every singe thing from a binder in order to redo your work. It comes with 1 single sheet plus a pack of 10 of the poly glass pages which look amazing. There is enough room in the binder for at least 2 extra sets of pages. Viewing the pages in the binder is nice and they don't get hung up as you flip.
I bought both this binder and the Advantage binder within a week of each other and if I hadn't tossed the receipt for the Advantage binder I would be returning it. The cost difference is less than ten bucks on Amazon, and for that ten bucks you get a far better product.
