And I'm impressed.

I think the only problem I have with it is the cover doesn't look as nice as the Shutterfly ones, but the pages are wonderful quality.

I've printed a total of 22 shutterfly books, 12 of the 12X12 and 10, 8x8 ones. The viovio are 8.5x8.5, so I'll have to start using them for my 2009 books so the rest are the same size for 2008.

The site is pretty confusing to me and they don't have storage like shutterfly, but for the price difference its worth it. One more thing, they're not as fast as Shutterfly, I ordered my book on March 13th and I got it today.
 
I have been thinking about printing through them.
Were you original LOs 8.5? Did it cut off much?

I want to do a 12x12 but all my LOs are exactly 12in

Holy cow - that's alot of books!! I have to order one soon!
 
Glad you like it! YAY! I really wish they'd redo their website though and up the storage.

I'm actually working on a Viovio book now and I'm blogging as I go along to help other who want to print with them. Part one is here.

My originals were all 12x12's, and they turned out fine. I never resize my photos, but for Viovio, I think I'll have to start because of the file sizes.

I've been uploading everything to shutterfly too, so I can post the finished books on my blog for my family to see. I'm going to have to figure out the size limits soon. LOL! I'm going to be ready to print a new album soon.
 
resize them just so the file size is smaller like for uploading?

sorry I am a million questions! I havent printed anywhere yet but am getting close to doing it.
 
Glad you liked it V!!! I actually liked my Viovio cover better then Shutterfly's!!! I did the same cover on both and my Shutterfly one is all washed out and faded and my Viovio one is so bright and true to the kraft paper color!!!!

And as for their site being cunfusing it does get better with each book you make...I can now just fly right through it because I "know what to do"!!!!
 
I agree with Elizabeth, once you do a couple, (even 1), it's so much easier because you know what you're doing! I should be getting my 2008 viovio book soon, I can't wait.

I do resize mine (I do 8.5x8.5) and my two big books have been 130+ pages each. There is no way that would fit with their limits if I kept them 12x12. In fact, it was even too big for 8.5x8.5. I emailed customer service (who are awesome) and explained I was making 1 book and it was such and such size and they upped the limit on my acct to exactly what I needed! they're very helpful, even if the website is lame

digiscrapinfo also has fabulous step by step instructions, although some is a little out of date.
