Have you tried with Momento? They're pretty good in what you pay for. :)

Many here I know uses Momento too...

Thanks Yi-P,

Thats right I saw this one awhile back.

Do these services only cater for PC's and not Mac's for when you are downloading their software ?

Thanks,

Mic :wink:

This morning, I had delivered my latest Momento book - this one on my niece's wedding in Cape Town and my visit to Kruger. That makes about 10 books in all.

Although the turn-around time has lengthened, it is still the same quality product at a very good price. I have a friend who works for a printing firm who says that he couldn't produce them at the price, but I guess Momento has specialised and have tooled up accordingly. The whole process is colour managed very well.

There doesn't appear to be any specific mention of Mac software, but I would assume that the download is OK for both.

Best way to know that is contact them directly (by phone or email).

Or simply download and try?

I have been checking out this mob also. I requested a sample pack of their prints. I have nothing to compare it to but looked sort of ok to me. The seemed to be images with noise in them, I'm not sure if it's the printing process or the image itself.

I might see if Geoff has a Momento book, that I can compare the print quality to.

I would love to hear if anyone has actually made a bokk with these guys.

Cheers.

Ummm ... did you read my post in this thread (about 3 posts prior to yours! :D ). I have used them for a few years.

I know Peter Stubbs has also used them - I'm not sure who in Sydney has, but it shouldn't be too hard to get hold of one to see.

Hi Trevor,

I guess I didn't make myself clear. I want to compare a Momento book to the samples I have been sent by Album Printer.

I would love to hear if anyone has actually made a bokk with these guys.
I was actually talking about Album Printer here. Re-reading my post it's not clear.

Sorry about that.
