I've been with the same supplier for 5 years and noticed the quality of print diminish over the last few albums - so I'm looking for a new supplier.

Between Queensberry and SIM - what are people's thoughts?

I've been using Queensberry for many years, they're expensive but very high quality and their service is excellent. No idea what SIM is, I've only ever used QB.

I use Vision Art - very happy with them, beautiful books, relatively good value, free shipping, fast, excellent service.

I really like the Finao Art One album

And the playbooks solves the issue for getting something reasonable in print. How can you beat $99.00 for a decent 10x10

I dislike Photo Junction so Queensberry has been a challenge since day one. Vision Art has been my choice (a lot cheaper compared to QB). Trying new suppliers is taxing, I tend to stick to one that works.

QB do free album design now, and yes they are pretty pricey. PJ is a little bit difficult to learn for some people, but once you're used to it you can fly through album design.
