We think it’s so important to print your images and we offer what we think is the best fine art album out there (which as a bonus, just happens to be handmade here in Yorkshire!)
To us, a photograph doesn’t feel real until it is a physical print we can hold in our hands. Holding something brings you closer to that captured moment. A page turn is the next chapter of a story. We believe printing your images creates a physical memory of those special life moments. A tangible connection to those memories that need to be cherished today, and passed on in the future. This is why we have selected the very best fine art book supplier.
When you receive one of our albums you’ll be wowed. So what is it that makes them so special?
Paper Quality
One of the most striking differences between our fine art album supplier and your standard online book printer, is in the paper. Our supplier only uses high quality fine art paper which has been specially created to last hundreds of years.
Unfortunately, high street prints aren’t made to last and may start to yellow within 10 years or less.
The fine art paper in our books is completely matt meaning reflected lights won’t glare off the page. This allows you to enjoy the high quality print without restriction. As soon as you touch the paper you’ll know it’s special.
The Importance of Ink
There are two types of ink used to print photo books; dye ink and pigment ink. Dye inks work by staining the paper which over time will bleach. This results in the image fading or changing colour. If you have old photos you may have noticed this. Unless stated otherwise, high street printers will use the cheaper dye based ink.
Our album supplier uses pigmented inks which are literally microscopic particles of pigment. The oil paintings you see hung in museums are created using pigment ink. This ink is more expensive but is archival and creates a beautiful result. Our album supplier also uses a 12 ink system which creates an almost perfect representation of your image. High street printers only use 4, so you may see dramatic changes in colour tone.
Inkjet is at the forefront of print innovation and achieves amazing quality. Our supplier has become a benchmark for colour accuracy and print quality.
The Perfect Partnership
Producing high quality prints isn’t simply a matter of clicking a button. Behind the scenes there’s a lot going on to ensure the quality is maintained from when we capture your images, through to the ink being laid down onto paper.
The partnership with my album supplier means the quality is maintained throughout the entire process and is not simply left to chance. The end result is stunning. All of your beautiful, printed memories are then encased in a handcrafted cover made from the finest materials with personalisation options to truly make it bespoke to you. We recommend these show stopping albums to all of our couples so you can enjoy your images in the best possible way.
Options
Your album is available in an 8″ x 8″ or stunning 12″ x 12″ size, starting at 30 pages (15 double spreads). Extra pages can be added up to a maximum of 80 (40 double spreads). A variety of leather (or vegan leather) colour options are available.
A mini 6″ x 6″ copy of the album can also be purchased with any larger album order. This would be an ideal gift for proud parents, or perhaps bridesmaids. It’s a direct copy of the main album but smaller.
All albums, including the mini 6”x6” size, are presented in a natural cotton bag, inside a craft cardboard box. The boxes are made from 80 per cent recycled material and 20 per cent from FSC sources. The way they’re produced, transported, and stored cuts down on waste as far as possible.
As well as looking great, the bag and box also keep your album clean and dust-free.
