Best Inkjet Photo Paper for Book Printing Binding

You can choose any Red River paper to make an album or portfolio - but here are our recommendation based on quality and weight.

Like portfolios, custom book printing has become easier and cost effective when using inkjet printers and digital technology.

Regardless of how you bind your books, these Red River inkjet papers will perform well in terms of handling, scratch resistance (depending on the printer) and photo quality.

SPECIAL NOTE: When using 2-sided matte and fine art paper and a pigment ink like UltraChrome, we recommend using the translucent inserts between each page. Pigment inks leave a residue on matte and art papers that can transfer between pages. The inserts prevent this from occuring.

For most book projects, a medium or light weight paper is preferred for easier turning pages that tend to lie flat.
