How To Do Coffee Table Book Printing

By Janis Hickman


If you are a new parent looking to capture their child's first steps or words, a world traveler hoping to capture their memories forever, or an aspiring photographer hoping to make it big, it is easy to create a lasting memory with coffee table book printing. Having memories or accomplishments compiled in a beautiful volume will provide opportunities for memories, gifts, or profit.

These types of books delight and charm visitors. Beautifully bound, they include large, high resolution pictures accompanied by limited text. They rest on the table, entertaining guests and visitors alike.

To create a lasting keepsake, Christmas gifts for grandparents, or just a great volume to capture the attention of guests, the website Shutter fly allows the average person to create magnificent volumes with little effort and cost. The user simply goes to the website and pulls the photos off of their computer. Once the picture are uploaded, the design phase begins. Shutter fly has design templates for an easy creation, or more creative people can form their own special pages. Customization is easy through their website. After the work is done, purchasing the completed project is easy and low-cost. A lovely volume will arrive at your doorstep soon.

People with a portfolio of beautiful and artistic photos looking to create works of art for the table will be more interested in the site Blurb, which allows users to have high quality printing for their photos. The website operates in the same way as Shutter fly. Users post their photos to the website, and can use design templates or create their own.

Blurb is different from other printing websites in that they offer binding with bookstore quality, and printing of the same caliber. One can easily make up for the cost of printing their work by listing it for sale in Blurb's online store, where people can peruse all volumes created by anyone who has ever used Blurb. This is an easy way for an amateur photographer to make some extra money.

Those looking to print large quantities of their volumes may find it more cost effective to have it done overseas. This is ideal for self publishers with an eager distributor. One website, Artful Dragon, provides services for large orders, and promises a speedy delivery of the materials.

For anyone who does decide to mass produce their work, they should be aware that they will need to have a completed product prior to placing such a large order. The photography must be complete, the designs all finished, and the text written and placed. However, many photographers are better at taking pictures than arranging them into a volume, and this is where websites like Star Print Brokers come in. This site has tools and offers help for those who are not quite sure what they are doing. The help of the experts will allow a stress-free ordering process.

In order to have the best possible coffee table book printing, there are several things that need to be decided. First, decide how the book will be used. Second, figure out how many copies you will need for that use. Third, find out if you are capable of designing the book yourself. All these things will help you choose the best place to have your book printed.
