I'm just at the beginning of the book / zine making thing and after looking at numerous YT videos and publishers web pages, I've decided to do it myself. I don't plan on a lot of books, or a lot of pages in the books. So I've decided to DIY (being retired with LOTS of extra time in the winter helps). I use paper from Red River in Texas and they have a section on papers suitable for books/zines. I'm still in the organizing photos stage and haven't order any of these particular papers yet, but I've used red river card and calendar paper with great luck. Here's a link to the recommendations I got from one of their support people. ----- You could use the Aurora Art 250 paper for more of a fine art book, we have had several customers use this paper. If you are printing with a pigment-based printer on either fine art or matte paper, we would recommend using a slip sheet in between each print to reduce the risk of the ink rubbing off to the following print. https://www.redrivercatalog.com/infocenter/2sidedinkjetprinting.html The most popular papers for zines can be found on the following link, these are available in flat sheets: https://www.redrivercatalog.com/sbproject/paper-for-magazine-printing-and-mockups_2.html For already scored 8.5x11 papers, we have these options: https://www.redrivercatalog.com/cardshop/scored/85x11scored.htm ----------- there's also a couple of very good YT videos on DIY bookbinding. EDIT: Keith Cooper just put out a YT video on adjusting your monitor to make your prints look better / good. I know that before I calibrated my monitor, my print always looked a little "off" Here's a link to his video
