The book is nice but... I wish some if the photos came out a little better quality for a $100 ( it was like an 80-page book though) product. But it got the best reviews so whatever. It took some time to put together but was fun and very customizable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-help-choosing-paper-for-blurb-book#post-479443 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 20:28:06 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 479443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used Snapfish to make my wedding album and the pages are a bit shiny, so fingerprints are easily seen. Choose matte if you are concerned about fingerprints. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-help-choosing-paper-for-blurb-book#post-479342 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 20:02:46 +0000 Mrs. Pen 479342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I'm slowly working on that but it takes sooo long to edit all the pictures. Do you do digital books or scrap booking? I love scrapbooking but the time, mess and cost sadly is too much.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-help-choosing-paper-for-blurb-book#post-479327 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 19:59:23 +0000 autumnlove 479327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: @MrsTiz: I need to get cracking and make some photo books of E! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-help-choosing-paper-for-blurb-book#post-478986 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 18:48:01 +0000 MrsTiz 478986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made our wedding book through MyPublisher using matte pages, I'm sure the paper is similar and we love it. It's very nice, the reason we went with matte was because they aren't able to be scratched. Shiny pages can get scratched. Our next book will be matte too, although glossy/luster pages are beautiful too! Matte feels like cardstock, while luster feels like pictures you get developed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-help-choosing-paper-for-blurb-book#post-478973 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 18:44:45 +0000 Mrs. Pen 478973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>MY SIL is a photographer and highly recommends lustre. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-help-choosing-paper-for-blurb-book#post-478966 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 18:43:45 +0000 autumnlove 478966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladyfingers: Did you ever order your book? What paper did you go with? I want to make a book on Blurb soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-help-choosing-paper-for-blurb-book#post-428940 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 10:07:54 +0000 ladyfingers 428940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm FINALLY getting around to ordering our wedding photo book that I finally got around to finishing. We're using Blurb. Has anybody ever ordered a photo book through them? I want something a little nicer than standard paper but not quite as nice (read: pricey) as the ProLine options. So I'm trying to decide between Premium Matte and Premium Lustre. </p> <p>Can anybody vouch for either of these for an image-heavy book? </p>
