I am hand binding a personal collection of images into a hand bound book. The book contents will be printed on fine art double sided paper, with hand folded signatures and stitched into a text block. My first attempt is likely to be landscape 250 wide x 200 high. I plan to hardcover the books with cloth covered card. I will process all my own images and use InDesign to layout the individual pages.
Two queries.
1. Any suggestions for the best paper to use for a custom Dust Jacket (Sheet or Roll).
2. Any suggestions for the most suitable double sided paper to print the book contents. (Sheet or Roll).
Finally I would like to experiment with a Blurb style ImageWrap hard cover. Any suggestions on materials or techniques to achieve this.
All hints or suggestions appreciated.
I have the hand binding skills, I really want suggestions on best materials and techniques required (eg laminating), using larger Epson inkjet printers.
