I know that Staples has recently replaced the old Photo Supreme papers with a cheaper alternative, and I do not buy that new junk. Red River Paper Pecos River Gloss Duo 86 lb.I have old prints on Staples Matte Photo Supreme on which the blacks are pitch black and beautiful.įor some time (months or years), I've experienced all blacks printing out as a dark grey, never pitch black, on what should be the same paper Here are some Gloss / SG options if you go that route. But if you print editions of 30 or 40 books it is nice to have them all match. This may not be a big deal to someone printing 1 book.

I reserve the first grade DUO or almost perfect paper for the regular edition.

If you use even slightly curled paper the books become warped.įor my maquettes I just glue 2 reg inkjet pages back to back. A big problem for book printers is getting flat paper. I've used pretty much all DUO paper out there - some are better than others. You can get by with no interleaf on Mate if you don't care about some shinning and scuffing on the blacks Gloss / SG / Luster holds up pretty good with no interleaf. Matte will always need an archival plastic interleaf.

There are also a number of RC Gloss / SG DUO papers out there.
