paul_fialon Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Has anyone had any experience using Picaboo as a digital album for a wedding client? I've always used the standard page & mat format but have been interested in trying a bound digital album and am looking for a well-constructed book with excellent image quality. Thanks!

mike_barrett2 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 If you are offering Picaboo albums you are not offering quality at all. I use Asuka books and Zookbinders. Check it out at www.createmyalbum.com. Picaboo is a cheap option, not a quality one. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annealmasy Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 If you were just starting out, building a portfolio, and wanted a cheap easy way to show work, I'd say go for it. But you look like you're too established to use a consumer-grade product like Picaboo. <p> I'm with Mike. Check out <a href="http://www.asukabook.com">AsukaBook</a> if you're looking for a quality book. <p> Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_fialon Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 Thank you Mike and Anne; Asuka looks like the way to go for my business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laura_dunn Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I tried picaboo, made an album for my inlaws from my wedding photos. They loved it, but I wasn't overly impressed with the quality. I tried it out on a client- designed a large album, and got the smaller one free. I sent them the small one and they loved it, so ordered the larger one. It's okay for couples who might want an album and can't afford asukabook or something of equal quality, but considering what picaboo charges for the book & shipping, plus your time putting it together, I think you'd end up charging more than what someone would want to pay for one of their books. They can design something similar at snapfish or ofoto for $20 (or something?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photochick Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I use them for sign-in books at the reception as the quality is perfect for such a use. I wouldn't use them for my main album, but it is a good option for parents... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
