Hi,

Any recommendations on Photobook printing services in the UK? I am looking a decent service which will product good quality product but not the one that requires me fork out a lot of money. This is for printing hard-cover wedding books.

I have checked out the website for "One Vision". Their products (from the website) look very good but they are also expensive. I am looking for something a bit less expenses.

Thanks.

I have got a few some photobooks printed there - decent enough quality but not sure if the quality would be sufficient for a wedding book. If you sign up for their mail shots they're always senting out special offers and discounts, you may be able to get one cheap enough to check it out.

Thank you Casper. I was thinking about using them for "previewing" a book before I get it printed from a real lab.

Why do you need to preview a book before you get a real one?

Abelli are cheap and nasty ones, ok for some holiday snaps thats all.

I have made some drastic edits to some of the images. I am not sure at all how they will look like when printed. I was thinking either I just get a few prints made or get a cheap-and-cheerful quick book made to see if they look good. Then after that if they look nice, I can get a better book made.

(probably bad logic :D )

I would get some prints done by the people that you are planning to make your album. You can get a page printed quite cheap that way you wont have any profiling issues
