What about the cover

by Jud, Thursday 22 of May, 2008 [16:46:32 UTC]
What kind of a cover does this large portfolio have? Is it a stiff material or is it bendable. I'm really interested in building wedding proof books with this, but that requires a certain look and material involved.

Thanks,

Jud

Hi Jud,
Some of my previous post may help in other areas *see down below. For my dad's book on WWII photos I am definitely going with the 12.5 x 10 b/c of the cover. I've ordered the 11 x 14 before, loved it, but it wasn't for clients wanting a "coffee table book". The cover for the 11 x 14 isn't as study or glossy as the other softbound book covers. It's a great proof book for the price and to show off a portfolio, but the other one, in my opinion, will be wedding client quality. Judy

Re: Same heavy paper for hardcover and softcover portfolio books?

Hi Judy,

Only the 14"x11" uses the heavy 120# paper. For black and whites, the Silk paper of the 12.5"x10" will likely produce much better blacks.

Let us know if you have any more questions!

Same heavy paper for hardcover and softcover portfolio books?
Posted: 03 Apr 2008 13:10,
I've gone to the book and paper spec pages but am still trying to figure out if the hardcover portfolio book (12.5" x 10") uses the same 120# interior paper as the softcover portfolio book (11" x 14"). The only clue I can find is this:

For our "Quick Binding" and material bound hardcover books, we offer a 100# light gloss Photo Silk, 96 Bright. This is a phenomenal paper that provides wonderful color, a professional smooth appearance, and long lasting binding quality. For "Pro Binding" books we use 80# satin paper.

Also, the album is going to be all black and white photos (grey scale) on a white background, so which portfolio (hard or soft) would be best for that if there is a paper difference?

Thanks, Judy

The 14x11 cover stock is 100lb cover stock which is thicker than the 120 lb text stock. It is considered softcover. Here is a link to our paper specs page just so you can have a bit more information about our paper.

Maternity Photobook

by Laurita, Tuesday 08 of April, 2008 [19:00:30 UTC]
Hi, I have a question. I want to create a Maternity Photobook.
I have only 17 pics. All of them are in "portrait" orientation.
Actually only one, that I want in the cover is in "landscape". I want to create a very high quality photobook, with a very sofisticated finish.
Can I custom make my own book? How does it work? Can I pick the background?
Can I have it made 8X11 pic size in a portrait orientation?
Thanks!!!!!

Judy, great information!! Also, Laurita, with only 17 pages you may get a saddle stitched book. We really recommend you create books that are at least 24 pages so that the binding is perfect bound. We need approximately 24 pages so that the pages adhere to the spine of the book. I've seen perfect bound books with less than 24 pages but to be safe 24 is the magic number smile

Hi, I just got back a very high quality paperback 8.5" x 11" with the satin gloss paper option. You can go to their help section for all the details, but this may be a good place to start:

VIOVIO BOOKMAKER
http://www.viovio.com/wiki/Viovio+Bookmaker?highlight=bookmaker

This page has their table of contents for help:

http://www.viovio.com/wiki/Book+Binding+Specifications

Also, you can pick different colors for your background. I've had excellent books made here, and just received two 155 page books and am very happy with the quality - so much better than winkflash or any of the others.

Hope this helps, Judy

A grammatical matter

Your pages do not lay flat, they lie flat.

wow, thanks for the tip wink
However, I guess print engineers or operators did not do well in English class http://www.google.com/search?q=lay+flat+binding

In Design or Photoshop???

by Mary Lou Rice, Saturday 26 of January, 2008 [09:48:01 UTC]
I am trying to find a way to produce a book that will be "my way"biggrin with layout and backgrounds. Is it best to do a book in In Design and submit it as a pdf or is it best to design the pages in Photoshop and submit them as jpegs? Either way will require work in Photoshop I suppose the real question is if the pdf is as good (from your point of view) as the jpegs? I am looking at perhaps 100 or more pages. If text is included in the jpeg does it really need to be converted to curves prior to saving??? Can you help me? mary lou

I'm a digital scrapbooker and use Photoshop Elements to create the pages of the books I have printed here. The jpeg option is simple and easy to use and the end result looks great!
