jmichaelc Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Hello, I am looking for a wedding proof album for my 4X6 proofs. Nothing fancy; i'm looking for a plain black, smooth finish (leather looking but doesn't have to be leather) that will accommodate 4X6 inserts as shown on my attached layout. If anyone knows of a good supplier for this kind of album, please let me know. Thank you all for your help. Kindest Regards, Jammey Church Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd frederick Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 For what it's worth, I use a very inexpensive proof album ($14.00)made by Pioneer. The one pictured in the photo below is a black imitation leather and is archival. They also come in a tapestry cloth instead of the black, with white pages. This is what I use to present the proof prints to my clients. They can be purchased over-the-counter at stores like Longs Drugs.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

think27 Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Jammey - I was looking for years for something like that but the best I could ever find was 4 up - not six. Try Michel Company. www.michelcompany.com - If you can't find the items on the site - Just call them. They'll send you a catalog. They have a Corina Quad Preview album that is very nice looking "Eurohyde". $39.50 plus $57 for inserts. If you want order pages - which I very highly recommend.. They are $12.50 per 100. I don't know the capacity of the album. It has an attractive 10 ring/black binding <p>Then there is the Renaissance Proof Book -- capacity is 260 photos - also 4 up. Not as pretty as the Corina but avail in black leather look. Book is approx. $35.50 with black silk lining and inserts for approx $20 per 25 inserts (insert - two sides holding total of 8 photos). This one doesn't have order sheets. 6 ring black binding. <p> The Hampton Prevew album looks like a more typical "proof book" in that it has that ugly gold border on the black book. 4-up 40 page capacity or 320 prints. 3-ring/gold binding. Around $21 for the book. $24 for the leaves (per 40 pages) and $14 for the order sheets. <p>There you have it... That's all I could ever find and I've been to trade shows for years. <p>Eventually, I decided not to go that route. I think six on a page is too overwhelming for the couple to appreciate the impact of their images. I do three up in the Holson album with order pages. This way I can often put horizontals and verticals all together. Otherwise they are turning the book this way and that which is awkward. My couples get 3-4 albums full of proofs. Those order pages increase my reprint/enlargement orders - no question about it. Friends and family are more likely to tick off what they want in a convienient little order box once they see the pictures. These proofs circulate for 6 months plus before they come to me and gives lots of people opportunity to order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
