I was hoping that people with more experience than me would answer so I could learn a bit more.
I think the problem with doing it yourself with an ipf8300 is the softness of the prints due to it being a pigment ink process.
I have done a few photobooks for clients but I would never think of printing them on my Z3100 as the surface is much too soft for casual handling. I use Pikto.ca in Toronto and I think they are all C-prints.
