julian_ribinik Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 <p>Dear friends,<br> I have a client, which is on tight budget, and looks for affordable 12x12 and 10x10 albums.<br> I usually work with Kiss Books, and they are great, but for this client this is way too much.<br> Can someone please recommend an affordable, but still good company who does albums in States?</p> <p>Thank you very much,<br> Julian</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch_w1 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 <p> I had a 12x12 press printed book, not album, made through Adorama. It had a wrap around image on the hardcover and lay flat pages with no gutter. I and my client was very impressed with the quality. Most of the album companies now offer some type of lower cost, decent quality press book so should not be too hard to find. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victoria_sprung Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 <p>blurb.com is affordable, and the results are great! It's more of a no frills approach, but it sounds like that's what your client is looking for.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_t5 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 <p>except that houses like blurb print a big "blurb.com" logo at the back of the book, so your clients can see where you got it from, then they'll go to the site and see how much it costs, and then know how much you are overcharging them.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppb Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 <p>Julian & Mark T,<br> You can now opt to have the Blurb.com label be left off the last page. Is a couple more bucks, but can be done. You just have to select the opt when selecting the type of paper you want. I have order several already this year without the label (much better, IMO).</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_schilling___chicago_ Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 <p>To be honest we're really discussing inexpensive or cheap albums.....good albums at moderate price points are affordable if you value quality.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marilyn_j Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 <p>Hmm.. I Know one but he is a (www.daviemacphoto.com), but even you can help him by outsourcing photography to a fresher, who is learning or just new to photography. I just finished my course and I am ready to work at low cost as this is my starting, so any new graduates, may help I guess.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
