Digital BW, The Print

I've been looking to put together an album of images and would like to get some input 
from the group. 

I'm using an Epson 2200/MIS Ultratones/IJC-OPM. I'd like a post-bound album that 
includes printable pages, transparent interleaves, and preferably a cloth cover. I'm looking 
for a fairly bright white paper. I want to be able to buy a box of the same type of paper 
that the album pages are made of so I can proof images without using the album pages. 
I'd like to buy a kit instead of coming up with an album from scratch at this time.

I found these:

But was concerned because of some of the comments in the archive about Crane Museo. 
Anyone use this ink combo on Museo?

I talked to this company and all the albums have Moab "Kayenta" paper which I'm not 
familiar with.

Link will probably have to be cut and pasted. I haven't asked what paper this is yet.

This looks ok, but no interleaving pages...

Any other suggestions or albums that I've missed?

Thanks!

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the info. Have you used these albums? I read this post in the archive:

"From:  "Charles Bandes <byronbulb@y...>" <byronbulb@y...>

Subject:  Re: Digital Albums

I saw these at my local shop - wasn't crazy about them. The Adamant
paper is uncoated, which makes the prints seem kinda anemic, and the
binding itself is, well, non-beautiful. If these were _way_ cheaper,
they would be great, but they seem to be the most expensive option for
this post-bound album concept, and I really don't think they are worth
the $$."

And that put me off. Not to mention $62 for 25 8x8 album pages.

Haven't used any of them yet...still trying to decide. What I do like 
about this one is the interleaves, but I would want to sample the paper 
first. The quoted comment is a good guide, but paper can be a very 
subjective thing. I use mostly Moab Entrada now, but read some comments 
that might have steered me clear before I tried for myself. I do agree 
on the pricing of these things - they all seem overpriced to me which is 
slowing my decision making process....I'll probably wind up going with 
the Moab system (I have to have something finished in the next couple of 
months), but I'm a bit disapointed they don't offer interleaves as part 
of their system...might have to figure something out on that...
