There are probably an exception to this somewhere, but the grain on roll paper should run the length, not the width, of the roll. Be careful using roll paper for book project, though; you'll have to deal with the paper curl.

Subject: [Digital BW] Paper Grain Direction


















  



    

            
I've been taking a couple bookbinding classes that have been great 

fun.  I'd like to put together a couple photobooks with what I've 

learned.



My question is on roll paper, does the grain direction run the length 

of the roll or across it?  Is this too simple of a question and the 

answer varies from roll to roll, mfg to mfg?



The reason I ask, is the instructor said that paper grain should run 

parallel with the spine of the book and I'm looking into available 

paper sizes for some experiments.  Roll paper seems the best option.



Thanks,

Earl
