Paper Choice for Book Insides
Our standard paper for books is a smooth, bright white, 60lb paper, excellent for text and photos, most cost-effective. For very long books, consider a thinner 50lb paper to reduce shipping weight. For best quality reproduction of photographs or illustrations, consider the 80lb or 100lb coated papers, which are smooth and show colours brilliantly.
