Digital BW, The Print

What about offset onto facing pages?  I'm about to start a project (my 
first), probably on Innova Smooth Cotton.  Should I print on facing 
pages?  If so, do I need interleave?  Does one use interleave paper (or 
tissue) or something else?

You have to be very careful handling the printed sheets; and work with a binder/craftsman who understands that inkjet sheets are relatively fragile. My impression is that once the book is assembled and bound, the images are well protected, though, and interleaving is more an aesthetic choice than a necessity.

If the inks are inherently more durable--less prone to abrasion, scuffing, and scratching--combined with the higher through-put of the Canon printers, it could be an excellent production machine. The thing about artist's books is that you have to push a lot of paper. And, unlike printing individual images, time becomes a major consideration.
