Studio Samples?

[S-Man]

For cheap albums I have to recommend Adorama. I recently got an album from them for a senior and it looked great. The leporello binding makes for lay-flat pages that are sweeeeet! I'd definitely use them again. The books are only like $40 or $50 shipped, and the use Fuji photo paper for true photo prints instead of press printed pages. They look great.

I also just ordered some canvas prints from Artscow. They were running a sale so I figured I'd try them out. I haven't gotten them yet, but I'll let you know how that turns out.
This is a good thread. Nice to know where to get samples from.

Also, Holly- Do you ever let the client know what product you're using? Like do you advertise that "This is a KISS album" or whatever? Or do you just say "this is what we offer..." and leave the source unspoken?

Why do you think the finao albums aren't selling as well anymore. Are they priced higher than the others? I'm wanting to use finao (like their variety of cover options) and am just curious to know more from your experience.

Does anyone know how Finao flushmount albums compare with leather craftsman? I've seen LC 6x8 flushmount and they looked great but can't recall finao's quality of FM from the last tradeshow I attended. Also, how does leather craftsman generally compare in price to finao?
