2-page spread and paper choice
Re: 2-page spread and paper choice
Posted:06 Jan 2011 (17:29 UTC)Erin,
greetings from PrestoPhoto, and thank you for your interest.
Here is a link to our page about 2-page spreads that may help: http://www.prestophoto.com/photos/gallery/11323
As a note, for all of our books the first interior page prints on the right, regardless of whether or not it displays on the right or left in the preview. The first interior page will always print on the right.
We offer two print processes and different paper options for the different print options.
For the quick bound print process we offer 2 paper options
1) photo satin - paper doesn't have any shine to it
2) photo silk - this paper has a little bit of a shine. It is not the slick gloss of magazines or prints, and you have to turn the paper in the light to see the shine. The real benefit of this paper is that it has a protective coating so if you spill something on the book you have a second or two to get a towel to wipe the paper before the liquid sinks into the paper.
For the premium print process we offer one paper option.
This paper is very similar to the photo silk but just slightly heavier. The real difference here is the premium production process which is ink based. Here is a page that highlights the premium products http://www.prestophoto.com/wiki/PrestoPhoto+Premium
The 14x11 product and the 11x8.5 calendar also offer a heavier paper.
All of our paper options were selected to be good paper for images so you will be happy with either paper.
As a note:
For each book there is a base fee and the per page fee. The base fee for our softcover books is $4.99. The base fee for our hardcover books is $14.99. The fee covers the set up, printing the coves, and binding. The per page fee is .25 for the digital satin paper and .30 for the digital silk paper. You can create a page with as many pictures as you like on it and the price per page remains the same.
If you have other questions or if I missed something let me know and I'll do my best to help.

2-page spread and paper choice
Posted:05 Jan 2011 (22:18 UTC)Hi,
I actually have two questions in regards to creating a 12x12 photobook:
1) Is it possible to have a single image full-bleed across two pages? Essentially having one image cover both a left and right hand page? If so, how do I do this with the designer? And if not, can I create such a spread in a PDF and then upload it to have it work correctly?
2) Is it possible to choose the thicker, premium photo paper for a 12x12 die-cut leather book or is that paper only available on the hard and soft covers?
Thank you,
Erin
