Free press proof
See one real spread before you commit to the whole book
Pick a spread from your book. We print it on the same press, the same paper and the same inks as the finished article, and post it to you flat. No charge, no obligation, and no other photo book service will do it.
Choose the spread
Pick the one you are most worried about — the darkest, or the one with faces in it. That is the one worth testing.
We print it for real
Not a home printer, not a screen mock-up. It goes on the press with the production work.
Judge it in your own light
Under the lamp where the book will be read. If it is not right, tell us and we will adjust before we print 60 pages of it.
Request your proof
The proof comes from your own book, so you will need an account and at least one book started.

Why we bother
Because “it came out darker than the screen” is not a support ticket, it is a design failure
Screens emit light and paper reflects it, so no monitor can honestly show you a printed page. Every photo book service knows this; most handle it by hoping you will not mind. Posting you one real spread costs us a sheet of paper and saves you from finding out on a £200 album.
