How is the price of a photo book calculated?

For every service the calculator adds up the start price, the pages it includes and the price per extra page of the book closest to your choice. Discounts are left out. Shipping is shown separately.

What is fine art paper?

Fine art paper has a texture you can feel, like the paper of an art book. It has no shine, so a lamp or a window doesn’t reflect in your photos, and colours look softer than on glossy paper. The fine art paper at foto foto is Vent Nouveau.

Which services sell a layflat photo book?

smartphoto, foto foto, Fotofabriek, Kruidvat, Saal Digital, CEWE, Pixum, Profotonet and albelli, from cheapest to most expensive at 74 pages. At foto foto it costs €80.

Where can you buy a photo book on fine art paper?

At foto foto it costs €70 with 74 pages, and €95 as a layflat book. Of the other services only Profotonet publishes a price for fine art paper, in a book that lies flat. Kruidvat sells it too but does not publish the price.

What does a linen cover cost?

A linen cover costs €10 extra at foto foto, at any number of pages.

Why does the number of pages sometimes differ?

CEWE and Pixum sell extra pages in fours. If you choose a count they don’t sell, the table shows the next count they do.
