Hello all! Continuing on with our series on printing, I wanted to share this unique sized photo book recently created (12×18) and printed through A&I Books. This size is well-suited as a portfolio for showcasing your photography or digital artwork.
I was very pleased with the substantial page prints and beautifully printed dust cover. Their quality is on par for professional photographers, but they do not require you to be approved as a professional first (unlike WHCC) so anyone can use them. The book shown is 40 pages.
A&I has easy to use free desktop software to create your photo book and offer many varied sizes. I now love 12×18!
Our Photo Art Blends 4 and 12×24 paper paks work well as backgrounds (simply crop to 12×18 and then create your layout).
We had found out about A&I through Groupon and were happy to try them out with the great deal we received. The one thing I did not care for was the inability to determine shipping costs until I had completed my book and placed the order. Other than that, I was fully satisfied with the whole process!
Next up…mini pocket photo book from MyPublisher.
Happy printing! Michelle
