Same heavy paper for hardcover and softcover portfolio books?

Hi Judy,

Only the 14"x11" uses the heavy 120# paper. For black and whites, the Silk paper of the 12.5"x10" will likely produce much better blacks.

Let us know if you have any more questions!

I've gone to the book and paper spec pages but am still trying to figure out if the hardcover portfolio book (12.5" x 10") uses the same 120# interior paper as the softcover portfolio book (11" x 14"). The only clue I can find is this:

For our "Quick Binding" and material bound hardcover books, we offer a 100# light gloss Photo Silk, 96 Bright. This is a phenomenal paper that provides wonderful color, a professional smooth appearance, and long lasting binding quality. For "Pro Binding" books we use 80# satin paper.

Also, the album is going to be all black and white photos (grey scale) on a white background, so which portfolio (hard or soft) would be best for that if there is a paper difference?

Thanks, Judy
