Hey guys! I would just like to know if you can recommend professional printers and professional album suppliers there with whom we can interact with internationally. We will be doing the digital layouts and just be sending the files to the suppliers.

I would prefer those that you have already used or still have an ongoing business relationship with.

The cost of printing 10x20s for 10x10 albums here plus the album itself is eating too much of our profit.

Thanks!

Marco

DPI Photography center services a number of photographers from the US. They send their images to be printed via internet and we send the prints to them.

You can also check with Fans digital. They offer magazine type hardbound albums at a very reasonable price.(I use them for the engagement books) They have square format and rectangular and have several amount of pages to choose from. They also tac the pages if you want it be be phototacced. I am sure if you have an account with a courier service, you should have no problems getting the materials on time. Here is the number of Fans 7226878 , 7446706 look for Tess or Anthony. They are both very helpful

Pls call or text Ariel Samaniego at 09175331929...very reasonable price of albums for wedding and coffeetable books. They do also mounting of photos and printing services. Other reasonable printing cost, you may try JT Photoworld...:)

Yup... I'd second this. :Grin: The Samaniego's really have a great quality selection of albums. Ariel's brother, Andy is a close friend of mine... Quality wise, you wouldn't go wrong with their stuff. :)

good day sir, how 'bout those album like the quality of "THE BOOK", do you have any contacts with them aside the one that is located at Laguna? I've been already stuck from YSEN album and some ordinary Storybook. I've been seeing this kind of albums in M.Mnla Malls but afraid to ask for they might consider me a competitor.

If someone here is kind enough, you can just PM the address and the person to contact so i'll just be the one to locate them. Don't worry i'm from Pangasinan and I just would like to upgrade some of our works.

thanks very much.

sir louie, is it possible if I send my photo layouts to DPIphoto through the internet? I am still a newbie and I learn from sir marco that album suppliers do the laquer thingy to protect the photos from fingerprints and dirt. Is this service offered by the said photo center? What can you recommend. I am hoping that my personal project will not just look like the commercial ones, but it will also last for a long time. thanks! = )

ah, ive always been intrigued by this. sure, this may protect it from scratches and fingerprints, but won't this speed up the fading of the picture's color? are these laminates archival?

i'd rather have a scratched up color pic than a scratchfree light blue one.

:<)

I had my wedding album assembled by Vic Cuyugan. The prints don't have a laminate layer on them. But the prints still look good the last time I checked :D

FANS have photo-tac protection, but additional price if you print with protection. Im not sure if may protection/lamination din na ginagamit sa DPI, cguro meron nman.
Ang JT photoworld ata may photo-tac din..

this is the contact number-4351929 of the distributor of theBook (inPrints Inc.) here in Metro Manila. They are located in Katipunan

You may always consider JT Photoworld. They can always make a FTP (for you own log in and password) or transfer files (online)

Magazine type album with softbound or hardbound cover... Customized Digital Albums.... JT also got magnetic albums and different kinds... you may also visit http://digitalprinting.multiply.com :)

Can also do the chemical lamination, phototac and of course, printing! :)

InPrints is Ariel Samaniego din diba?

I'm not from Manila but my sister is in the Fort, meron bang malapit dun na supplier? Thank you po...

i also dont laminate or phototac my prints since it kinda layers the picture and pics comes out a little dull on the colors...i just stick to matt prints for longest life with no laminates so colors would pop

I used my Canon Pro9000 to print the images I needed for my last two weddings. :D

It's pretty hard to beat the convenience and control you over image quality if you do it yourself :D

Cheers!

Laminating your photos with anti scratch material that is non archival, is a guaranteed way of damaging your photos. If it is cheap, I can guarantee you it is not archival.

You may want to try the Cuyugan Albums. Elegant and long lasting. I think they also have printing services there. www.vicuyugan.com: (http://www.vicuyugan.com:))

Hi guys, im looking for a wedding album supplier that can offer at least 8x12 or 12x8 leather album. im looking something unique design and build quality is top notch.

Please don't mind if I join in, I do process my photos but can anyone refer me to a good supplier of wedding album either "The Book" or Table Coffee book format located near in Region 3 specially in Pampanga and around Metro Manila. Cubao, Quezon or Pasig

Thanks, your comments would be appreciated, Godspeed to all of you.

Do you have current number of Ariel Samaniego? the one posted here was last 2006, i cant be reach when i contact him.

Anyone have the contact details for Albums & Co? They have no website/facebook and they don't respond to messages posten on their multiply page. Quality seems to be very good and they come highly recommended. Anyone here used them?

You should be off-setting your price enough so that you don't lose on the deal. I understand your conundrum though.

Shoot me a pm and maybe I can find you something local to me that isn't too bad in terms of price.

I've got a local place that is known for leather craftsman's quality at a fraction of the price. (he used to work for them)

there is this one wedding album supplier named RSL ALBUMS....you can try them out....nice price and very creative.....heres the link: http://rslalbums.com/

I use Fans Digital, JT Photo and theBook. All has quality albums no doubt.

Here are the contact details...

JT - Look for Ms. Girlie - 5366590 or 5366591

Fans Digital - 7358327

TheBook - http://www.thebook.ph/


Lately I transact with JT because of ease of service. I am from Makati so, it's easy for me to pick-up the albums from their Makati Branch. Hope this helps.

I had a wedding album, compiled by Vic Cuyugan. The printer is not the laminate flooring. But the press still looks good the last time I checked.

KISS Wedding Books from the US offers very simple and cute photobooks. You just upload your designs online and pay online too. They only have square sizes and only offer leather or linen covers. Simplicity and minimalism is their mantra and I like it. Quite expensive though but the final output is great.

I also recently ordered samples from TheBook and they are nice. I just don't like the design of the spine (I like to keep everything simple and minimalistic). The offer magnetic types and book types also. Their contact persons are not very good though. Won't reply fast to messages or emails.
