Find your perfect photo book printer and format match

Before committing to a photo book print run it’s comforting to know you’ve chosen the right printer and format to do your project justice. Here we outline the questions to ask and characteristics to look for, that will help you find your best matches.

There are so many factors to consider when choosing a format and a printer for your photo book, but what are the best options for your project? To make your decision process easier and help you avoid pitfalls, we’ve compiled some questions to ask yourself and your supplier so you can get as close as possible to your perfect match. You can narrow down the options quickly by answering these questions: what print quality do I want?  How many copies do I need? What’s my budget? What binding do I want? And what size should it be?

Leica Q limited edition by Jesse Marlow

Momento Pro was honoured to produce a custom book for Jesse Marlow and Leica, to package with the Leica Q limited edition camera launched in early 2018. Both of which are now sold out!

If you want a book that’s truly unique you can go off grid and produce a totally custom edition, with non-standard sizing, cover material, binding styles, paper and packaging. Be aware though that you have expensive taste, and we’ll need a tad more time to do some tests to ensure that the everything meets our high quality expectations!

Earlier this year we were honoured to produce a limited edition for photographer Jesse Marlow titled Anything Can Happen and Probably Will.  Jesse is an internationally awarded street photographer who has published numerous books including, Don’t Just Tell Them, Show Them, with Melbourne independent art book publisher M.33.

Promote your business with a book

Print is not dead, and these bespoke corporate publications prove that print can often be a more appropriate and influential format for promotional activities than digital, as long as the individual elements – paper, binding, cover and finishes – are suitable for the purpose of the book and the brand’s values.

Photo books can be used for all kinds of purposes and one application we see more of as the year draws to a close is bespoke publications for corporate promotions. In this blog we look at three examples created for The Woolmark Company, Sony and ENGIE. Each project had its unique brand values and marketing objectives to achieve, which was clearly reflected in the materials they chose to use. Read on to find out why they selected particular sizes, papers and finishes, and the effect they had on the book.
