Many requests have come in recently for 8.5×11 dual sided Inkjet paper for Photo Books. In my research, the best value for the dollar that I have found is made by Intelicoat. The two products I have found are:
Firenze 132 or Firenze 170: Both coated matte presentation inkjet papers.
Specifics respectively are:
Firenze products are available in many roll and cut sheet sizes, work with both dye and pigmented inks on Piezo, Canon, HP, Encad & ColorSpan printers. These papers work best in environments between 65-86degrees F and between 30-70% Relative Humidity. Longer ink dry times will occur in Higher Relative Humidity enviroments. Color profiles are available for selected RIP, ink and printer combinations from the magicinkjet.com website.
These coated matte presentation papers can be overlaminated with most cold laminates and low temp hot laminates, but cold are preferred and give better adhesion results. Make sure the images are completely dry before applying lamination. Cold, pressure-sensitive adhesives usually provide the best bond and are recommended. More information can be found at the magicinkjet website.
Cut sheet purchases for 8.5×11 Firenze 132 is 1000 sheet minimum and 500 sheets for Firenze 170. The cost per sheet is very low compared to other popular dual-sided injet materials on the market. Contact Marcia directly for pricing at 800-544-1609 or marcia@diversifiedimaging.net
