A warm, uncoated art stock with a soft felt grain. Ink sits into the fibre rather than on top of it, so images read gentler and slightly muted: lovely for newborn and film-toned work.
A true photographic print, exposed onto light-sensitive paper and chemically developed. The fine pearl surface holds continuous tone with no dot structure at all: the most photographic of everything I print.
Photographed prints, shown for comparison only; surface and sheen are impossible to judge on screen. I keep samples of every paper and will show you the real thing before I commit.
Natural fabric of 70% linen and 30% cotton with a compact texture. Selected after careful research, it resists wear and adheres perfectly even on the rounded lines of the covers, in a wide palette of warm and natural tones.

A polymeric fabric with a shaded finish, so the colour moves across the cover rather than sitting flat. Extremely smooth, very soft to the touch, and highly resistant to wear.

Go Book
Lay-flat quality at a gentler price: an album to stand out and be seen.
The Go Book brings Graphistudio's lay-flat construction to work that often goes unprinted: portrait sittings, boudoir, pet photography, engagements, small events and quieter midweek weddings. A dedicated production line keeps costs and lead times down without giving up the things that matter: the patented continuous lay-flat binding, photographic paper and board linings.
Pages open completely flat, so a panoramic spread runs across the gutter with no visible seam. It comes in ten sizes: vertical 15×20, 20×30 and 25×35 cm; horizontal 20×15, 30×20 and 35×25 cm; square 15×15, 20×20, 25×25 and 30×30 cm, with 20 to 80 pages, printed on lustre photographic paper or Indigo offset Tintoretto, with optional gloss or matte lamination on lustre.
Cover, spine and back are finished in GoColor Cloud Leatherette across forty shades, or in natural linen, 70% linen and 30% cotton, in warm, understated tones. Cloud Leatherette covers can be personalised with colour overprinting, plain or finished with raised varnishing; linen takes colour overprinting on its own. The front panel can instead be matte-laminated photographic paper printed with an image of your choice. Add a handcrafted GoBox in a matching or contrasting shade with a transparent or semi-transparent lid, finished with a satin ribbon from twenty-eight colours: roughly 64,000 combinations in all, which is another way of saying no two need look alike.
Small enough to sit out on a side table like a framed print rather than be shut away in a cupboard, and it makes a fine parent or duplicate copy of a larger album.
