Re: [Digital BW] Re: paper for multiple book copies

2006-02-14 by Eric Kunsman

One thing that is being overlooked with the discussion so far is the idea of
grain direction. This is the basis for any correctly bound book, the grain
should go with the spine. Many of the papers that have been mentioned may
produce great prints but the book may fall apart when exposed to different
moisture conditions.

I personally produce many books and the first factor is the binding and then
finding the correct paper size. Please just keep this in mind, as many
companies are not keeping their grain directions in a box of paper
consistent. The companies are just going for maximum yield and mixing the
grain direction.
