p.1 #1 · Need 11x14 Double-Sided Prints


I'm looking to do an easily swapable portfolio (sort of a la Jeremy Cowart) to present to photo editors at magazines and newspapers. I already have my book and binding method that I'm going to use, but I just found out my normal lab doesn't offer any kind of double-sided print.

So what I need is somewhere that will print an 11x14, double sided, probably either matte or lustre - not sure which one I want yet. I also have access to a Canon i9900 13 inch wide printer, so if anyone knows of any paper that might do the trick, I could try printing myself.

hmm. try calling WHCC to see if they can do this for you?

i would think they would be able to mount prints to two sides of matboard or styrene? but not sure how that would impact your binding process.

let us know how it goes and post your final product!

Thanks Chuck. I did ask WHCC about it and they said they didn't have anything that would work for me. I'd rather not mount it if there are other options.

I do not think anyone makes double sided photo paper. I believe they are all just two pieces of photo paper glued together. I believe this is even how adorama pix makes their albums.

3m 77 adhesive?

If you are willing to do press print or inkjet prints then it is easy, but I am a believer in photo paper

Haha Joe, this I know... You and your paper

I think I may end up having to try my inkjet. Inkpress seems to make some decent looking double-sided paper. Has anyone ever used any of their papers?

I think you'll have to go with some specialty inkjet paper company, just like how Cowart used. I think he even mentioned the type of paper he was using.

Why not try printing a few prints off and adhering them yourself?

I've had luck doing these by printing them centered on a sheet, then gluing them together, then trimming.
This way you can try a few different papers and switch them out within an hour if you feel so inclined.

I use the Sunset Photo eSatin 300gsm from Lexjet.

Here's a link to the paper that Cowart used:
http://www.pinazangaro.com/products/90/Scored-Inkjet-Paper.html?is_discontinued=0&product_family_id=4&accessory_type_id=2&color_id=15

It might be a nice upgrade to do hinged paper instead of scored.

Ilford Galerie, Smooth Luster Duo. 280gsm double sided luster finish. I don't know what sizes they offer because I only use 8.5x11.

I just dry mount 2 sheets together.
