Hello...

I am looking for paper that would work well for text and photos, but feels like a page in a book, not thick like an actual photograph. I am not looking for paper that feels like a magazine. This is for printing on a Canon i860 series printer.

I have seen kits for making your own book (not physically, just heard of them online), but wanted to see if something more customizable was available.

Thanks :-)

probably something like the double sided or enhanced matte papers, but it still might be thicker than traditional book paper.

Thanks for the info... any recommended brand for Canon printers (other than Canon?)

that would be canon matte photo paper, it looks and feels like regular paper.

Cool, and it isn't too thick, then?

Nevermind.... just saw that it's 8.5 mil vs 10.5 mil for the glossy plus that I use.

Red River Paper at http://www.redrivercatalog.com/ has lots of different papers that work well with Canon printers. They have some profiles for them too.
