The Red River Zepplin paper is a 45 lb semigloss. I have never seen another ink jet paper like it. It is the perfect paper for an art book project if you are binding it in something like the channel bind. The projects I used this for worked out very well. Many years ago I participated in a few of the Black and White print exchanges. I bound the prints I received into books with the channelbind machine. However I had to glue an archival strip to the edge of each print and that strip was the part that fit into the channel. It’s the only way I know to bind heavy papers like that.

Looks interesting, but, as you say, seems to require a thinner paper. The advandage of the binding machine is that things lie flat. I'm not aware of any inkjet paper that would take kindly to repeated bending at the spine.

They sell reasonably nice cover stock that has a metal channel built into the spine. You insert your pages and the machine squeezes the metal channel in the spine securing the pages. It is best with more supple types of paper. I did a few hundred art books this way. My favorite paper for this was called zeppelin but I don’t recall the vendor.
Let me know if you would like any more details.

That looks really interesting, Scott. I hadn't even thought of printing on both sides. What was the archival binding strip material that you used? And, did you have to double it over to make up for the fact that the material was thinner than the paper?
