If you follow our main Queensberry blog, you might have seen that I recently designed and ordered my own Queensberry album. (View the blog post here).
Well, Stephen wandered in a while ago and saw me looking at what he assumed was my album, and asked how I liked it.
"It's crap," I said. "I don't even like looking at it."
He went really pale!
What he didn't know is that Heather had suggested I use the exact same image files to create an album with another well known supplier.
I'm not naming names, but wow - the differences are astounding. I understand that you get what you pay for, and that our albums are not priced the same as with this other supplier, but now if anyone ever says to me "I could make the same thing for a tenth of the price!!" I will be able to tell them first hand, that most certainly no, they cannot.
For example, not only did the cheaper album arrive with already visible wear and tear, but the print quality was poor as well (most obviously, a lot of 'noise' in my images). What many people don't realise is, most major online photo book suppliers only print four colour CMYK and it makes a difference to the print quality.
We print six colours, which add depth to skin tones and overall give a fuller range of colour.
The moral of the story? You get what you pay for.
P.S The colour did return to Stephen's face eventually.
- Amanda
