This uses Innova’s paper. There offer three different papers according to your taste. There is a natural white soft textured art paper – nice feel, but it needs careful treatment and if you are printing a lot scuff might be a problem. The alternative is a high white rag paper – very smooth and with really good results. This is more of a photographic paper. These are both double sided. Then there is Innova’s flagship Fiba gloss – which professionals – especially those in monochrome seem to rave about.<br /><br />To get the best you need to use a semi-professional printer. I have just invested in an Epson R1800 and this is fine. The R800 had feeding problems – it does not really like the heavy grades 250gsm plus.<br /><br />I would also recommend that you use the Epson archival matte settings rather than an ICC profile. There could be exceptions, but the one I downloaded from Innova was a bit disappointing.<br /><br />I have also tried the Print &amp; Bind. This is good for the home amateur. It uses a good cast coated photo glossy paper – and you can use the standard paper settings.<br /><br />OPUSalbums offers ACDSee’s FotoSlate 4 to layout the album. It is an intuitive programme and a doddle to use. A really good presentation album – with foreground and background photos can be produced in half an hour.<br />It’s worth a try!<br /><br />Print &amp; Bind Album are also available from <a href="http://www.u-printit.co.uk/">http://www.u-printit.co.uk/</a> - the supplier of papers and albums to make printing elegant, productive and fun.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7466718553400824945-3110407238094546228?l=printyourowndigitalphotoalbum.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Incartek - Home Printing - Digital Photographic Software and Supplieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10382983213004152856noreply@blogger.com0
