I just saw my friend wasted RM160 on the photobook from them.

She was very dissappointed with the outcome of it.

When I look at it, compared to the one I got from shutterfly.com(USA based), it was really a BIG letdown.

I'm not entirely certain it was due to the quality of the paper used to print the photos.

The Shutterfly version, it was printed on glossy paper and it has a nice magazine like feel/look. The one from photobook.com.my, instead was printed on canvas like paper which has a lot of texture. I'm unsure if it was due to the texture that the prints/photos came out very dull and what not.

All in all, if this is the quality of it, then I'm recommending that you all stay away from them.

Anyone here can give a different opinion?

as mentioned, it was a letdown. It might have been the choice of peles used for the printing,(canvas like) that caused it. She chose the hardcover type instead of a normal paper cover, perhaps in hard cover type, the paper used is like that???

She is gonna complain to the guy/company and see how. Really bad lah. Seriously bad.

hz428, While I understand that, the look of it is already very dull and that makes it even worst.

So what if you can keep it for like 20 years? I don't even feel like looking at it now.
