So have noticed that everyone has different album companies of preference. Some even choose different companies for different things. If you had to choose just one company to do everything with based on the following who would it be?

- Customer service and support
- Ease of layout and submission
- Price
- Product Quality
- Turn Around

If you have the time to answer with the specifics of the choice it may help others too.

Might I suggest that if you vote "other" you list what album company you use.

By the way, Graphistudio is one of the most widely used companies. Should be in the poll.

Not sure why Pictobooks isn't on there. And yes, why the hell is Blurb on there? Eww.

KISS and OTHER (ImageCapsule) are my two votes.

Image Capsule for printed cover Softbound and Flushmount albums. KISS for leather Flushmount.

I used to be with FINAO, but had two major issues with them. Firstly, it takes 4-5 weeks for the albums I like to offer to be developed. Secondly, there is no option that lets you have a FULL PHOTO cover - where the front and back are printable.

I used GraphiStudio for one contract and decided to stay away - just didn't like the product nor the whole process.

I've been eyeing Leather Craftsmen in regards to a leather flushmount option, so we'll see what happens. At anyone time, I like to stick to two companies max.

Pictobooks are def nice, but too expensive for me at the moment... Renaissance seem nice. And Vision Art for a different approach.

Pictobooks Bijou isn't real leather, but it still kicks Graphi's ass IMO, and is affordable.
