…What is the best paper to use. For cost, my ink jet printer will have to do.
I would like to buy 11 x 8.5 already cut to 5.5 x 8.5. Where can I purchase it. I know ink jet printing will run if gotten wet but I’m not making enough of them to send it out to publish and laser printers are too expensive to buy for this small project. What is the best weight paper to use considering my printing options. In my vast collection of cookbooks I see all weights but they are all professionally published and not with an ink jet printer. I just want to document the family recipes and add pictures, more like a scrapbook and about 85 to 100 pages. Maybe a semi glossy light weight paper?
Any ideas for my project?
Thanks,
Rayleen

    you should ask this question in the Arts & Humanities section here of Yahoo Answers…there is a Gaphic Arts section that might bring you some leads on this subject

    so why not just make it full size landscape page, and fold in half?
    and you would be able to print on both sides of the page.
    you will use fewer pages if you do it that way.

    semigloss will be quite thick, so then you would have to cut it.

    inkjet not terrible, but the ink will eventually dry out.
    you might want to laminate the cover.

    There are a lot of variables, but the binding will be key-the spiral lay flats are good, they are about $2 in kinkos.
    or use a hole punch and some nice yarn and stitch together.

    best of luck with it!
