Find the best inkjet paper for your next book printing project

You can choose any Red River paper to make an album or portfolio - but here are our recommendations based on quality and weight.
Like portfolios, custom book printing has become more accessible and cost-effective using inkjet printers and digital technology.
Regardless of how you bind your books, these Red River inkjet papers will perform well handling, scratch resistance (depending on the printer), and photo quality.
SPECIAL NOTE: We recommend using translucent inserts between pages when using double-sided matte and fine art paper with pigment ink such as Epson UltraChrome and Canon Lucia. Pigment inks leave a residue on matte and art papers that can transfer between pages. The inserts prevent this from occurring.
Single-sided means you can print photo / art quality on one side of the paper. Double-sided means you can print photo / art quality on both sides.

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