Matte
Matte paper is an uncoated paper so it makes a perfect medium to write on. It’s used primarily for wedding guest books because the paper will accept most ink pens and pencils (markers are not recommended). If your images are dark we do not recommend this paper as you loose tonal ranges in darker colors with matte paper. It’s best for bright, light filled images.
Pearl
If you are looking for a little glimmer to your images chooose the Pearl paper. This specialty paper, imported from Italy, offers a little touch of elegance to your photo album pages. This paper is only available on Flush Mount Albums at this time.

FAQ's
What is a Layflat Album
Layflat Albums have hard padded covers with thick lay flat pages. They consist of photographic prints mounted to hardboard, creating a page that is much thicker than a typical photo book. The photographic print spreads over two pages, allowing for gorgeous panoramic spreads, with no cuts or gutters down the middle of your images. An excellent choice for those wanting something more substation than a regular photo book.
What is the Difference Between the Layfalt Album and the Flush Mount Album?
The difference is the thickness of the substrate that the pages are mounted to. Flush Mount Albums have very thick non bending pages and Layflat Albums have thick pages but bend slightly. If you’re puzzled on which one to choose, it really comes down to your budget. When only the best will do, choose the Flush Mount Album for wedding albums and high end boudoir books while the Layflat Album is a close second in quality and well suited for guest books as well as boudoir books or any book that you want thicker pages than a typical photo book.
How Many Pages Can I Have in a Layflat Album?
Layfalt Albums have a minimum of 10 spreads/20 pages and a maximum of 40 spreads/80 pages.
What Type of Paper is Used for the Layflat Album?
Our Layflat Albums are printed with the choice of two industry leading papers; Mohawk, Superfine Eggshell ( Matte) or a coated Pro-Photo Lustre. Both amazing papers that will print detail and color ranges beyond your expectations. The Superfine Eggshell is our matte finish paper that is soft to the touch with no page sheen. It is perfect for well lit bright outdoor images. Mate paper, is not light reflective so for images that have darker tones, we recommend choosing the Pro Photo paper to pick up darker details. Pro Photo paper has a soft lustre finish and has light reflective properties that will help to brighten darker images. Pro Photo paper is also easy to clean as it is a coated paper and resists moisture and smuge marks. The matte paper is ideal for guest books, as the non coated surface makes it a better medium to accept ink.
What is the Difference Between Italian Leather & Eco-Leather?
Eco leather is an “animal friendly” book cover material. The surface has a leather grain and is soft to the touch. It has a clean, consistent look and it’s a standard cover option and excellent for foil embossing. Our premium Italian leather, on the other hand, is a real animal hide. It’s buttery feel will make you want to hug it! It’s truly magnificent and adds a certain richness to your book! Both materials can be foil stamped for personalization.
Why is Quality Binding so Important?
Quality book binding is what holds your book together. Less-experienced binders or photo book companies trying to cut-corners will produce books that will not stand the test of time. Please remember you get what you pay for in binding. We are confident that you will not have this problem with our “library quality” book binding methods. We stand behind ever book that we make. If for any reason there is a manufacture defect, we replace it for free!
