Double Pagers

I don't try to match my pages. I'm happy if facing (single) pages look different, and they look fine in the albums.

I'm the same way. I don't plan single layouts to match, and I still like how they look together in the books.

Oh thank you! It's my (first ever) alpha (hope it's ok to mention it here), so thank you even more!

When you save your 2 pagers, do you save it as one 12x24, or 2 12x12?

 

[adi&co.]

I save the .psd (in case i need it!) as a 12X24 and then i split it into two 12X12's for printing

 

[adrianka]

I save at 24x12. For lay-flat binding there is no other option actually.

I print with Adoramapix. Like Adriana's books, they do a lay flat binding, and you lose NOTHING from the middle of the book, and very little from the other edges. It's awesome. You can even upload 12x24 sized pages direct, so you don't have to separate the 2 pages of your layout prior to saving. Adoramapix costs a little more, but the quality of the print (just like a real glossy photo) is incredible. I'll never print anywhere else.

I want to print my PL into a book. I've never done a photo book before. I always print and slip into traditional albums. I want the best quality book I can get after working on the project for an entire year. I just checked out Adoramapix and it looks they can only do 76 pages. What is your 2nd choice company for lay flat binding? I've got to find something that holds 105 pages.

 

[adrianka]

The company I print with does 84 pages at maximum. Books with lay-flat binding are printed on real photo paper and the pages are much thicker and heavier than in case of normal books. Maybe somebody does 100+ pages, but I don't know anybody. When I have more than 84 pages, I print two slimmer books rather than one heavy one.

I've thought about doing that too Adrianka. I could print Vol 1 and Vol 2 of 2014 Project Life but I would prefer one book if possible.

I know what you mean! Maybe one of the girls will know about a service that does 100+ books like that.
