Stuff written to a bound journal is more permanent and much more difficult to edit or alter without someone noticing.
3 ring binders are bulkier and can be raided for pages or have inserted pages. The goal of writing this is for 30 years later or so that the pages are still bound and readable.
My grandmother gave me a 3 ring binder based cookbook recently. It had the first 4 pages falling out of it and all it had done since the 70s was sit on the shelf (was her backup cookbook). If that can happen to the cookbook with professional paper, my cheap no name paper certainly would do worse.
From another angle if I could cheaply hardbound some printer paper with glue or some sort of press then that would also work for the first case present in my original post, if not the second one.
- bondarchuk 6y agoPerhaps some sort of transfer printing could also work?
- Multicomp 6y agoI'm not familiar with that, is that something that prints directly to a book?
- banana_giraffe 6y agoTransfer printing is basically printing on an object then transferring that print to another. Historically it's how patterns get applied to pottery and the like, though in today's world the term is used to describe is how iron-on inkjet print paper works so people at home can "print" on t-shirts. Another option might be the hand-held ink jet printers. Though, the one's I've seen used are about printing the same thing a whole bunch (barcodes and other labels on boxes coming off a production line). They'd probably not have a great UI for single use messages. I've never looked, but given that they're a niche product, they're probably also very expensive.
