This is exactly the same journey as me when I got the pixma - pro100 (The main reason why I bought it) I thought it was only me suffering from getting a good quality of photos by making them double-side , because of not me enough self-printing experience. (I tried GF smith as well....... and other one called John Purcell Paper when I was trying uncoated paper) Still really appreciate for making this videos, talking about this unsolved question!! it's always a pleased to see you film anything in your studio, love the studio you made for your creation.
have you thought about a layflat album. that would solve all your problems, and it looks like you got most of the equipment to do it. i have done a few with very professional results at home.
@@ThisDesignedThat if you do a layflat binding technique, you use single sided photo paper. just type in layflat photo albums on youtube and you will see.
Yes, going through the same stuff. It seems like the perfect paper is out there, I just can't get my hands on it. You at least live in Europe so your sizes and materials are already far beyond anything here in Canada. Massimo Vignelli's Canon book uses LuxoArt, 135gsm, matte coated. This is the reference for the paper I'm always on the hunt for, but it is hard to seemingly impossible to find anything in the same wheelhouse. Love your content, bought a Canon Pro 100 because of your videos.
Cheers Mark, nice to hear. There are actually quite a few matte coated double sided paper out there, I used the Epson Matte 178 g/m2 when I was at Uni making books and it worked well, its not too expensive either, about £15 for 50 sheets. Thats still expensive if I want to make 20 books :( but I REALLY want to use a satin/pearl paper for this photobook. I'm not sure what to do moving forward. I dont think I'll ever had a budget for a offset printed run and I dont want to go down the zine route as the quality suffers a lot.
@@ThisDesignedThat Thanks I'll check that out. Do you have issues folding that paper? I make a lot of octavio booklets out of a3 paper. Also (sorry if this is too many questions), what colour settings do you use in inDesign before printing. Thanks.
Shame you didn't settle for the uncounted papers, having seen the cover designs it made me really want to see a finished product! Hopefully you find some work around in the future, would be a shame for the work to forever sit on a hard drive and not be in some sort of physical format.
hi Patrick, Totally agree, i will print them at some point! :) I always come back across to these pics in Lightroom and always wish I printed them in a book and thats what gave me the kick to start this project this year.

Glad its not just me with the issues, hopefully we'll find a solution between us :)

Hi. I have seen those type of lay flat bindings but not sure how that would solve the problems i was having.
