What about the cover

Hi Jud,
Some of my previous post may help in other areas *see down below. For my dad's book on WWII photos I am definitely going with the 12.5 x 10 b/c of the cover. I've ordered the 11 x 14 before, loved it, but it wasn't for clients wanting a "coffee table book". The cover for the 11 x 14 isn't as study or glossy as the other softbound book covers. It's a great proof book for the price and to show off a portfolio, but the other one, in my opinion, will be wedding client quality. Judy

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!

Same heavy paper for hardcover and softcover portfolio books?
Posted: 03 Apr 2008 13:10,
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

The 14x11 cover stock is 100lb cover stock which is thicker than the 120 lb text stock. It is considered softcover. Here is a link to our paper specs page just so you can have a bit more information about our paper.

What kind of a cover does this large portfolio have? Is it a stiff material or is it bendable. I'm really interested in building wedding proof books with this, but that requires a certain look and material involved.

Thanks,

Jud
