It’s been almost 6 months since I moved to Seattle, I’ve taken a lot of pictures of this amazing city so far. Two weeks ago I realized that I had almost 100 Seattle photos up on Flickr already, so I decided to test print an 84 page photo book to see how it would come out. I decided to check out Qoop for the first try, the service easily taps into my Flickr photo stream and the quality is pretty decent for the soft cover. Pretty much standard magazine quality. I’m looking to test a couple more services, iPhoto and Snapfish, before possibly printing a batch to sell via some local book stores. Being new to all this print business, if anyone has any other quality/solid printing tips/services that I should try out, please let me know. You can view some of the pics I plan to print on my Flickr stream below.

Very cool James!
Right now I’m in the process of forming a new company that produces hard cover photo books (all in house printing & production in central IL) & would be excited to see what you think…
In the next few weeks we will be installing some new equipment that creates a “seamless layflat” bound book & will be finalizing our website so clients can create their books. Let me know if you’re interested in having some sample books created.
Kindly,
Shawn
ps. you can view some examples of the layflat books on our equipment makers site, http://www.pbtec.ch
Thank you so much Shawn! This is great information. I will definitely check out your book options and reach out to you. Hmmm, layflat sounds very interesting…
