[15]Why Viovio
The secret to our success: Quality, Price, and Service.
Quality.
We offer bookstore quality products that meet or exceed all leading on-demand book manufacturers.
Price.
Our prices are half of our competitor's prices. People often ask "If your quality is the same, but your prices are half, what gives?" We have a simple one word answer: marketing. Or in our case, lack there of. A similar company who follows the same simple idea of "high quality, best price" is the NO-AD Suncare products company. For nearly 50 years, a bottle of NO-AD suntan lotion is twice the size of other leading brands for the same price. As their name implies, they don't blow their money on bikini contests, and instead pass savings on to the customer. We like this idea. A lot.
Service.
Our customer service hall of fame says it all. We will state flat out we have the best service in the industry. Great service is easy: treat others the way you want to be treated.
That's it - the secret to our success. Because of our approach, we rely heavily on customer referrals. Help us keep our prices low and pass on the word to friends, family, and your online community.

Binding...?
Please add a binding and paper description in the quality area of your site.
I am going to buy finis from Randy to get a sample anyway. He is where I discovered you. Give him a bit of credit? Why ruin the cover with the LOGO and require a buyer to pay to remove it? Can I ask for a use of any other photo from his interior or plain white with the text title? I did not think so.
I do not like one POD publisher's binding. Their name starts and ends with the second letter in the alphabet. I have an open edition book there. It is alright, but the glue binding seemed too stiff for my larger book. I am looking for a POD printer to do my EXTREMELY limited-edition Figurenude.
Did you hear of Taschen RE-PRINTING SUMO?
What type limited-edition does that make the ridiculously over-sized SUMO?
Reprinting it made the $15,000 book now cost less than 1/100th that amount.
It made the original now to be ridiculously over-priced as well as still being ridiculously over-sized and only a catalog of unoriginal images or SUMO/100
A preview PDF of mine is online. It is too low a resolution to print very big. Figurenude~PDF Am I over-confident? Put-up or shut-up I say! I do not just show you a few images. It is all online. I plan to redo the pages so the text is readable without a printable PDF.
My Limited-edition is actually limited and guaranteed to exceed SUMO in aesthetic quality as determined by any random survey of fifty people or entitle purchaser to a refund. My book uses 100lb. paper and is a hard cover. I am not satisfied with a printer yet due to bindery.
The better bindery will also print Smaller Figurenude Photographs as well. I have it as a PDF and will redo it as necessary.
My book has the same guarantee all my signed work has.
Re: Binding...?
We have three types of paper in use that very based the trim size - we have an older help page with our paper specs. In the Catalog we listed which sizes have the papers available.
I hadn't heard about the new Sumo. On that topic, be aware we are no Taschen and want to stress the Color Specs and Color Matching|limits of on-demand technology)).
We have an upcoming Premium product line which will exceed our current standards. We hope to have news of this release later in the month.
Submitted works
"You acknowledge and agree that any submission may be published, copied, customized, removed, transmitted and shown by Viovio.com for the purposes of delivering the Service. The electronic or physical sharing of your images and materials constitutes permission for reprinting by the recipient."
So, does this mean that by submitting our photos to this service we are allowing Viovio.com to reprint and show these images without credit to us, the photographers?!
Re: Submitted works
Absolutely not. It is silly lawyering. The reason for that line is we inherently need to permission to print copyrighted material. By uploading it and asking us to print, that means you grant us permission. We have tweaked the TOS so it should now be very clear. We feel very strongly about leaving 100% control with the copyright holder (YOU).

Shipping Charges
Re: Shipping Charges
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.
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.
