We appreciate Photo Books- but will they last?
“If it’s not photographic output, it’s either going to be an ink-jet or it’s going to be electrostatic (fancy word huh – think color copier with toner and paper). While some ink-jet prints are shown to last as long or longer than photo prints, it depends entirely on using a particular printer, ink, and paper from that printer’s manufacturer. Do you know exactly what combination someone is using to print yours? If it varies one bit (like using a lesser grade paper or ink) it can significantly impact the life of your layout. And most home printers we digital scrapbookers use are not suitable for archival quality output – unless you dropped a couple of thousand on your ink-jet! The same issues are magnified with electrostatic prints – the toner can vary from batch to batch, as can the paper. And as most electrostatic prints are on the low end of the price range, you know the labs that use them are saving every last penny to keep the cost down.”

That’s really nice and beautiful. A practical use.

Barbara- we print a full bleed 12×12 print on our silver halide photo paper. These should fit in your post bound albums. We work with American Crafts and DCWV- they should slide right into your “old” page protectors.
Kendra- we do print photobooks. Here is a blog post that Chari did a few months ago with comparisons-http://bit.ly/hmOUdh
Is that what you are referring to?
Can you do a post about how the photo books from Persnickity measure up because don’t you sell photo books too?
I see the problem… but, I have an obvious question: if I’m not going to be printing my layouts in photo books, can you please recommend a type of scrapbook to put them in? I’m just lost when it comes to how to use a 12×12 layout… In the “olden” days of paper scrapping, I used a well-know company’s post-type books, and although I have LOTS of empty albums left, it just seems silly to put my layouts on paper pages. And, I’d have to trim them, as the album pages aren’t true 12×12 (more like 11.5×12). How about a blog post with album options? Please???
this is so true- my books from various companies have fallen apart within 5 years
