which finish on Asuka book for guest list?

[akimartymar]

I am about to place an order for a 7X7 Asuka book to use as a guest sign-in book. I noticed it asks if you want it in varnish, matte laminate, or glossy laminate. Which is the best for this purpose? Mainly, if anyone else here uses one of these albums like this I would like to hear which you use. I'm assuming that the glossy laminate would smear. Thanks.

I really don't like the glossy laminate - too "plastic-y" ( <-- I made up a new word). I love the matte laminate, but you may have some trouble writing on it... definitely workable though if you find the right pen.

I don't think I've ever tried the varnish... Anyone out there know if I'm missing anything?

I don't have any experience with Asuka books, but I would think the matte finish would be accept ink the best. Perhaps to be safe, you should email them and ask them. Let us know!

You could use a perm. marker to sign with if you use the mat lam. It should accept it. The non lam pages will take any kind of pen. We have both versions.

The 7x7 is a nice size!
