Bookbinding

Recently, bookbinding is becoming popular among photographers in Japan. It is because the qualities of home printers, digital cameras, scanners and papers for inkjet printers. Their costs are decreasing, and the performance increasing. By chance, I got some good printer and scanner with low prices, I tried them (scanned some images from print films and printed it by the printer), and the result was greater than I had imagined. It is should be said that the technology of them was developed much.

Then, there are many people who started to make their own photo books. When you finish printing out the images, you have only to bind them. Binding itself is easy. But, therefore, they look for their original appearances. They try many kinds of papers, or some uses clothes, or so on. You can find many home-made photo books of contest prizewinners on Epson photo contests website. (Epson's archives) Some magazines showed the ways of home bookbinding this month.
