Which silver halide book size is best for me?

We think this book is especially good for Instagram shots (because they're both formatted square). Make sure to add multiple photos to one page as their quality isn't quite good enough for one shot per page. Otherwise take a look at our A3 & A4 Lay Flat Silver Halide Photo Books , perfect for bringing those wide shots into focus.

Wait, what's silver halide? Silver halide is a traditional method of photo printing that involves light-sensitive paper and silver-based chemistry, hence the name. It captures true colours – ideal for skin tones – and offers a sharper, more vivid image. The quality of silver halide is longer-lasting too. That’s because the process embeds photos into the paper, rather than printing onto it. The result? A rich, scratch and water-resistant print, that will maintain its quality for years.
