You might wonder why I claim my albums are ‘just better’. Well, it’s simple. They surpass anything you’d find on the high street, especially compared to what’s available at standard photo print labs.

But it goes beyond that. I’m confident that my albums excel beyond those offered by other suppliers. I’ve tried numerous options, and none have come close.

Paper Quality

One of the standout features of my albums is the paper. Folio Albums exclusively use high-quality paper specifically designed to endure for hundreds of years. In contrast, papers from high-street printers can yellow in less than a decade.

Your photos are printed directly onto the page, allowing each double-page spread to open flat with an almost imperceptible crease down the middle. The fine art paper used is matte, ensuring consistent viewing without changes in light reflection. The moment you feel the paper, you’ll understand its quality.

The Ink

Unlike many print labs that use cost-effective dye ink, my album supplier exclusively employs pigmented inks. These inks, composed of microscopic pigment particles akin to those used in oil paintings found in galleries spanning centuries, are archival and produce stunning results. Through Folio Albums, my albums have set the industry standard for colour accuracy and print quality.

Finishing

The final product is hand-assembled with meticulous care and precision. Witnessing the process in the factory, I was astounded by the attention to detail. While I initially anticipated mechanised finishing for the covers, the reality far exceeds expectations. Each cover is custom-made for every customer, then bound, personalised, and subjected to rigorous quality checks.
