  • Paper Options

    We print exclusively on Fuji Crystal Archive papers and offer the following paper options in our albums:

    • Premium Lustre (default) - the jack of all trades and the master too.  There's a reason we made this our default paper - it just works for pretty much anything.  Excellent skin tones, great gradation and good blacks.  You really cannot go wrong with this one.
    • Velvet (upgrade- soft and luscious.  Velvet paper has a slightly warmer and softer look & feel to it.  We find this one works best for soft filmy type of prints.  It tends to suffer a little loss in the highlights and will not be as deep in the blacks.
    • Pearl (upgrade) - high gloss with metallic crystals in the paper.  Best for high dynamic range style images where a max contrast and vividness is desired.  Super punchy blacks, but it does blow out in extreme highlights.

    Your PROJECT MANAGER makes it easy to select or change your paper type at any time before ordering a project.

  • Personalize It!

    Your photos are special - your album should be too! Our cover upgrade options make it easy to make every album as unique as the memories they contain.


    Available options include:

    • Laser Engraving (direct into material) - full grain, synthetic & bamboo
    • Cameos (photo windows) - full grain, synthetic, linen, book cloth & velvet
    • Engraved Plaques (built into cover) - full grain, synthetic, linen, book cloth & velvet
  • Custom Projects
