Hi all,

We (at work) are thinking about getting some portfolio books printed up to take to business meeting, show clients and what not....

Does anyone have any good recommendation of Uk based printers that do this kind of thing. I know for example Jessops do one, but I'm guessing there's a higher quality option out there?

Cheers

Hi,

I would recommend Blurb (http://www.blurb.com (external link)). I've used them a few times for softback and hardback books. Their design software is dead easy and print quality very good.

Hope this helps.
Andy.

I saw some apple ones which looked pretty decent, don't know how they were on pricing though. I assume it's world wide too.

I have tried photo books from Blurb, Photobox and Albelli. I was at Loxley's last week and looked at their coffee table books. The difference in quality between the Loxley books and the others was huge. They are more expensive but well worth it in my view.
