StoryBook Album: Supply your
own design
You
are welcome to provide your own design. If you do not
want to use our FREE Studio22 Album Maker software,
please use these
blank page templates
with guidelines.
Requirements:
Our albums vary in size, please view the list below.
The
printers we us ere all 300DPI in inch sizes, we
therefore use inches as this is far easier to enter in
Photoshop than the Metric sizes.

ICC profiles are
available for accurate colour on a calibrated display.
We require a minimum bleed of 5mm (See Picture 1.1
below) - as all our albums are hand bound, each album is individually trimmed and may vary. We
suggest doing your layout on a full canvas size
(according the size of the album you select) and
allowing enough space around your images for us to trim.
It is therefore best not to placed an image with a
detailed border too close to the edge of your page.
Picture 1.2 shows a full page with the bleed on all
four sides of the page.
PLEASE NOTE: Do not enlarge your page size by adding the
bleed to the page sized, our bleed is trimmed off the
page size given above. The final page is therefore
smaller.

The ideal format to supply your Storybook or Photobook pages is Jpeg, we
accept PSD and Tiff.
The cover we prefer as a
PSD, we accept
Jpeg and Tiff.
Please ensure you are using our template as we will need
our bleed marks to show - additional fees will apply if
our design depart needs to make changes to your layout.
