Photo Books


Hi -- I'm trying to find a good resource for printing photo books for my clients. I print with ACI lab and have done one book with them. It was nice, but took a long time for me to set it up, and it was kind of expensive. I've used Apple, and they're ok, but that gray computer paper on the opening page looks cheap, and sometimes their printing isn't the best.
I then was going to try Asuka. Well, that's too complicated for me, and the templates I purchased for it from a designer have no instructions and are totally confusing.

I've checked out collages.net, and have seen a printed version of one of their 5x5 books -- but it's pretty expensive 5x5 with 20 sides, $135.

Any other suggestions?

I need good quality, low cost (cuz my clients will balk at the price when I add in my time). I know you "get what you pay for", but looking for the best quality for my money.

Would appreciate your suggestions.

I did a photo book- printed a photo 'jacket' cover, which was so nice- about $30..... wasn't too bad! Simple- and since I have ordered, they've added new layouts & designs....bummer thing about them is that they print their web address on the very last page- so if you're putting together for a customer-you have to decide how to cover that:
Candid 2000 has several designs too- pretty reasonable.
have fun!

Last week I saw a coffee table book printed by http://www.blurb.com/. It was OK. But I'm not over the moon about their print and paper quality. Passable at best.
