With these prints they will also send you a sample of the various papers they use and a how to booklet. No big deal about those things but definitely not for the point and shooter. But-bare in mind that they do expect these uploaded prints to be coming from a calibrated display and set to the specs they suggest. They do offer you the opportunity, free of charge, including shipping, of printing out 5, 8x10 prints for you to see if the service meets with your criteria. If you do go to WHCC just be prepared for a near do it yourself setup if you're plan is to do a book. Also, these are just photo books as in photos with book binding not real "books". Also check AdoramaPix, the interface seems quite primitive and the options are limited compared to Blurb, but the quality should be excellent. I agree, the Blurb software implementation is just plain ridiculous. ![]() I had hoped to cut back some on cost but it's apparently another case of "you get what you pay for".Īngry with myself for not chucking this whole thing when the Blurb software started acting up. I have previously used WHCC which does a perfect job but is expensive. 3 photos are blurred and 1 has considerable color shift.Ĭertainly not a recommendation for Blurb. Both top + bottom ends of binding are crushed. What I received is a book with a skewed cover, back cover extends beyond front cover. I had ordered a large format, hardcover, premium paper book with full bleed cover, no dust cover. Good luckĪfter all the problems with the glitchy blurb software I finally received my book from them. Outstanding quality and the software is excellent. They offer monthly coupons from Publisher, usually 20% off standard prices and sometimes 2 books for 1 price. Not only is their software glitchy but their tech help only sends out canned email replies regardless of the info you send them. Four crashes before the 5th try was finally successful. Had I not spent the amount of time I had in preparing the book I would have scraped the whole thing. In reading through comments from other users on their site I find it's an ongoing problem. I don't know what the results of this printing will be but the problems with the program are absurd. I have FINALLY been able to complete a book using Blurb but will not use them again. Thanks Chuck for the info on my publisher. I've used them both, My Publisher quality is better, but they also charge for it. Also My Publisher has two for one going now. If anyone knows of one would appreciate location.Ĭheck this site daily, always changing. 08 but never got the book ready before the coupon outdated. Anyone know of a Blurb coupon out there that's current.
