Peter ordered his first book in july 2007 – at this time a digitally printed „Pixopolis“ book. We agreed already then that it is quite a lot of marketing value for both the photographer and  the manufacturer of the book in every sold photo-book. Digitally printed books are still playing an important roll in my daily business since we sell a lot of them to all sorts of customers. Nevertheless I am very happy about the extremely positive feedback from our professional photographers when they compare the  digitally printed books with books which are traditionally developed.

Isabelle Hesselberg & Emmi-Sabina Forsberg. Two passionate wedding photographers working as a team. They take romantic, sensual & intimate pictures that you definitely do not find in your parents‘ wedding album.  But in the books we supply… 2Brides ordered books from Saal and Eirikuva so far and soon they will test QTAlbums. I am looking forward to Isabelles and Emmi-Sabinas feedback !

Thanks for the kind words you 2 ! Click on the picture to get to their inspiring website !

I found an interesting article on the webpage of ISPWP about the reality with being a wedding photographer…  Spreadbook seems to be a big step in the right direction !

Just click on the picture to get more information… and some interesting quotes from fellow professionals.

Just before the holidays it´s a crazy time for us – hundreds of customers calling and mailing regarding their precious gifts.

The printing plant in Germany  producing our digitally printed „Pixopolis“ books and calendars for the consumer market is doing a splendid job working in three shifts!

A short statement from the fair in Stockholm where we emphasized on reaching the professional photographer.  Success!

We had visitors in our booth all the time and everyone appreciated the idea of designing books in a bigger square format without being locked to one or two manufacturers.

We where able to display a wide variety of very different books from our partners and got very positive feedback.

One of the manufacturers -Markus Schmuck- booked a flight from Munich  to personally hand over the Benny Ottosson edition book to Benny.
Markus was sharing his valuable experience as a manufacturer of high end photobooks with us and our customers for the next two days.

In January we will start working on implementing the manufacturers we team up with so that the photographers using Spreadbook can order their books directly within the application.

Kjell Post is working hard to make it super-easy to resize the „standard album“ to the exact specifications of the different manufacturers and we will benefit from his experience when we built a similar function into spreadbook.

I highly recommend Kjells book-designer which is based on smart-objects to all of you who are struggling with designing books for your customers.

Have a look at this powerful, time saving and smart Photoshop plugin. You will become more productive and design misses are easy to avoid!

To sum it up… I am very happy with the progress we made in 2010 and surely the year 2011 will be exiting.
