RE: [Digital BW] Re: Best paper for custom-bound photo books

2006-01-10 by Terry Ritz

I just finished printing a collection of images using Innova's Opus Fine Art
Presentation album. If I'm not mistaken, this is their BookArt paper, and
the paper noted in the link below. I'm pleased with the results. It's
double-sided, scuff resistant and seemed to be a nice weight for the
application. I need to compare the same image to Innova's standard Smooth
Cotton, but the images looked good.

Terry.
