It’s all about the paper…
… or something much, much better! We are proud to use the most exquisite media such as our Matte Cotton Rag which is chosen by photographers to create high quality fine art prints. The fine, slightly textured surface and feel of this 100% archival acid free paper is ideal for printing both deep black and white and colour photographs as well as art reproductions with impressive pictorial depth. Cotton rag is rated not to fade in 100+ years and does not have any optical brighteners. All ArtBooks are lay-flat albums.
The Journal ArtBook
It's unlike anything else - a soft, leather-wrap cover envelops pages of beautifully hand-torn, cotton rag fine art prints - front page embossed in gold. A rustic leather strap closure winds around to finish the look. The Journal cover is unattached to the block of pages and available in select leathers.
Pages: Cotton Rag with deckled edges, Lay-flat, Max 25 spreads (50 pages)

Other paper options
MATTE PAPER ARTBOOKS
A clean, bright white, smooth matte paper with exceptional image sharpness and an exceedingly smooth surface. The extra weight gives this paper a soft, sumptuous feel as well as deep, crisp colours. Pages have a semi-stiff feel to them. This type of book is great for negative space designs, lower contrast, low saturation or film-like photography.
Please note that this paper is less archival compared to cotton rag paper.
Pages: Matte Paper with straight edges, Lay-flat, Max 60 spreads (120 pages)
…and the right design
ArtBooks are state-of-the-art bound fine art prints. To make sure they last a lifetime, please:
keep your designs clean and simple with white backgrounds preferably
keep images around 1” from the edge of the spread
design album avoiding images with heavy use of deep blacks as the ink may transfer to the facing white areas
keep images off the crease as with time the ink on the crease might be prone to cracking
