greetings from Viovio and thank you for your interest.

We prefer one complete PDF or separate .jpg files. We recommend your images be at 300 dpi.

If you are creating your book in another software it might be better to upload as a PDF. PDFs don't count against your available storage space. When you upload a PDF our system will automatically select the book trim size that most closely matches your PDF size. For example, if you plan to create our 11x8.5 die-cut hardcover book you will want to create your PDF as an 11x8.5 file instead of 8.5x11 landscape.

Here are a few links to some of our pages on PDFs
http://www.viovio.com/wiki/PDF+Creation+FAQ Note the questions on this page — What are the requirements of PDFs? and How can you prevent multiple subset embedding? and Is there a way I can ensure that my PDF file will print correctly?

Hope this helps and please let us know if you have any more questions!

Greetings from viovio and thanks for your interest.

I'm afraid I can't give you an exact estimate for shipping. Ship time and cost depend on the ship to address, weight of package, and most importantly ship method selected. Thus, it is not possible to provide an accurate ship cost. Typically, you could expect to pay approximately $6 - $10 for shipping for one book within the US. However, that is a rough estimate.

We do offer a ship cost estimator on this page: http://www.viovio.com/wiki/Photo+Books
You would need to select the "Get a shipping quote right now" link. This quote is based on 1 40-page book so it is not accurate for, say, 500 books but it will give you a sense of the cost.

If your order total is over $30.00, we offer a flat rate ship cost of $7.99 for international shipping and $1.99 for domestic. This is a very slow ship method so don't use it if you are on a deadline. If time is not an issue then you may consider that option.

We do offer bulk discounts which apply if you order multiple copies of one book. Here is a link to our pricing page: http://www.viovio.com/wiki/Photo+Book+Pricing

Here is a link to our book binding page, which lists the trim sizes as well as the costs: http://www.viovio.com/wiki/Book+Binding+Specifications

Using our book binding page and our book pricing page, you can calculate the base cost and a discounted cost for any book we offer.

If you have the product in your account you can add it to your cart and view all our ship method options without having to complete the checkout process or give us credit card information.

Thank you for choosing Viovio. If you have other questions or if I missed something let me know and I'll do my best to help.

Murray,

Greetings from Viovio and thank you for your interest.

9x7= Pricing $14.99 + $.29 / page

11x8.5= Pricing $14.99 + $.40 / page

We offer 2 paper options for all our books except the 14x11 and the 11x8.5 calendar. The paper options are digital satin and digital silk. Both are designed for images so you will be happy with either paper.

The digital silk finish is not the slick gloss of magazines or prints. It is a coating that protects the pages as well as makes the images look crisp and adds a nice finish to the page.

The digital satin is our standard paper and the silk is an upgrade. There is a 15% charge for the digital silk paper for both hard and soft cover books. Here is a link to our paper specs page so you can check out the different paper types http://www.viovio.com/wiki/index.php?structure_id=417

The pro bound books and the quick bound hardcover books come with the Digital Silk paper and we offer the digital satin for our softcover 8.5x11 and 9x7.

As a note: For each book there is a base fee and the per page fee. The base fee for our softcover books is $4.99. The base fee for our hardcover books is $14.99. The fee covers the set up, printing the coves, and binding. The per page fee is .25 for the digital satin paper and .30 for the digital silk paper. You can create a page with as many pictures as you like on it and the price per page remains the same.

Currently, we do not offer dust jackets for any product. We are working on a 7x7 product that will offer a dust jacket.

If you have other questions or if I missed something let us know and we will do our best to help.
