1/4/2023 0 Comments Bookwright reviewSome people have mentioned that black pages have "white speckles" and the consensus seems to be that this is caused by dust/paper particles when printing. #Bookwright review software#I think I could have worked right up to the guidelines in the software and been ok. Anyway, all of my pages were within these limits in the software, and the printed version is very good. Other posters on here gave suggested minimums (I can't remember the numbers off the top of my head). There was some advice on Blurb's site that suggested you are fine as long as you observe the guidelines in the software. Not knowing how much of an effect different page counts would have on the binding and gutter depth was a concern. I was worried about how close I could get my content to the gutters. I think I'll try hard cover with dust jacket next time. The main issue with my imagewrap is that in the gulley by the spine, on the front, it is already creasing, where some laminate layer is separating from the surface (I've only read the book from front-to-back once). The print is not quite as vibrant as the normal pages but I'm very happy with the way it looks. They are nothing serious, no proper scratches, but not "brand-new-perfect". However, like others, mine is a bit scuffed - as if the handler didn't take care when packing it. Even my crappy pictures look like they belong in print. I haven't personally experienced the standard paper, but the premium paper is fantastic. Some said they loved it some said it was pointless. The resounding theme seemed to be that the quality control can be hit-or-miss but that Blurb's customer service was excellent and always sorted the issue. I had read so much about Blurb books, especially here on Flickr. I'll order a second copy for archival (probably in hardcover with dust jacket - see below). I had intended on the first copy being used on the coffee table and passed around friends and family. I found a few of my own mistakes that slipped through my on-screen proof-reading (follow Blurb's advice and print a local copy for reading!). I opened it and had a quick flick through and was really happy with how it came out. Seeing it in its shrink-wrap for the first time was very exciting. My first impressions: I absolutely love it. 104 pages of premium paper in a 10x8 landscape format with imagewrap cover: Seriously, in 2021 there should absolutely be more options for creating a Blurb book via iPad.Well, my first Blurb book arrived yesterday and I've just finished checking it over. I have been a loyal customer for 10 years and now I’ll have to find another option. #Bookwright review Pc#I thought maybe I could just go to the Blurb website and design my book there, all online, only to find that they have no iPad support! You can only do it via Mac or PC though a downloaded app which is not available in the App Store. For a decade I’ve been printing 10x8 landscape sized books and now I can only choose a 7x7 or 5x5, neither of which are large enough to really display my photos well. I have been so discouraged to see that this app only allows two size options, which means that my books can no longer be consistent. This year I switched to using only an iPad and there is no book module in the mobile version of Lightroom. I’ve been using Blurb for 10 yrs and now I have to find something else.įor ten years, I’ve been printing photo books through Blurb using Lightroom’s book module.
