Are they any good?

Which ones did you order? Would you mind to post some pictures of your books?

I have a client due in a sec. I can give you more info later. We order albums from several places and most take weeks - months to get back. There is something to be said for instant gratification - especially since I have some many clients wanting holiday gifts, but shot late.

Thank you for getting back with me Holly!!

Yeah, I heard Miller's is FAST! But speed alone is not always good. I think you know what I mean. So do you think Miller's has that nice combination of speed and quality?

Which of their albums/books did you try out?

I got my test prints too. How did color correction work for you?

I like the original ones better. And you?

We get the layflat albums from Millers. I didnt like the layflat book. The album was b*tchin quality wise. I had insanely high standards and Im not easily impressed (its the PITA part of being a perfectionist). Anyway, Millers layflat albums are wonderful quality - add to that about the fast shipping and they are untouchable.

Thanks Holly! I'll definately give them a try!

Still wondering about their Pano Flushmounts though...

I know. I would totally be one of their reps. Fast is cool. Awesome albums is cool. Fast + awesome albums is just totally untouchable.

The metallic is bitchin, right?

Never been a fan of metallic paper, but this has changed my mind.

I love their albums. We just did one for a client with Metallic Pages and Palette texture. It was down right stunning, and far better looking than I expected.

We did have a problem with a cover once (the leather was loose at the wrap) but one call and they reprinted and we literally had the new one the next day.

Incredible Service.

you know, i used to love millers (the print portion - not albums) the last two of my orders, the 16x20 that had mountboard, arrived crumpled on the edges (drop shipped of course) and last weekend's bride received someone's xmas cards instead of her bridal portraits... again - drop shipped.

albums - how about some photos of these awesome albums, i almost ordered one...but changed my mind before hitting submit and ordered with someone else.

millers will jump to fix things if you let them know what happened.

i'll post a pic of the album next time im at the store. i like the limited edition cover...its fuzzy and pretty. wish it came in pink.
