Which Coffee table book printer?

[Marvin]

Hi All,
A friend and I are looking into the coffee table books. I believe that someone in Sydney had a Momento book printed. I was wondering what the quality of these was compared to the apple books (I looked at one today in Adelaide). Has anyone seen both to compare? The Apple books appear to be considerably cheaper and presumably lower quality (approx $100 for 20 double sided pages, compared to around $150).
Thanks,
Marvin

Hi Marvin,

I have not seen the Apple ones but I have had a Momento one done and I was very happy with the result.

I spoke to the guys at Momento before I printed my bok and they were really friendly and helpful.

I would say worth the money, but make sure you are 110% happy before you print it (no changing it once done)

Cheers,
W00DY

Have seen the Momento and am very impressed with it. Pay more but if you only do it once then do it right. I aim to get one done in the near future. Of course, with a good A3 printer you could do your own and get it professionaly bound....but that would also cost a motza.

Marvin, have seen the Momento and met the people there. Saw an example of an Apple book at their office. The Momento was a jump and a half up, but Apple may have improved since when I saw the example. The Momento seems very good.

OK thanks guys!
The Momento people also give you some software. The apple people charge you $50 to set it up for you or you can do it yourself in Word and make it a pdf. I'll probably go with the Momento people.

Hi Marvin,

The momento books are great. I've just joined the pro program, thanks you Glen

Best is to just order one and look at the quality. A couple of my wedding photographer buddies are using them.

I'm working on the PP of a wedding I shot a few weeks ago at the moment and putting them into a momento book...will keep you all posted

What resolution do the Momento books print images at? And can they print right up to the page edges?
