I may still have to try the 100# text paper.

I don't necessarily mind the irridescent quality to it, but the paper is a bit textured and makes the photos look strange (whereas an asuka book has a nice even surface on their paper). Unfortunately, the pearl paper isn't all that good. I ordered pearl paper, since I had heard that the textured linen paper wasn't all that great (and apparently I missed the option to order text paper). $30 definitely wasn't a bad price for a book, but I have to say that the quality leaves much to be desired. I ordered a 10x10 book last week with some photos I took of my dogs. I simply want to highlight some of the differences between photo books.Hey all, just wanted to share my experience with the Mpix photo book. I like the textured glossy and selected it for CM however, I am perfectly comfortable with the options Panstoria has available, just like I am comfortable with their end sheet options. Panstoria offers matte and glossy, instead of the textured glossy that CM uses. Note added : Cover texture is a matter of preference. For special occasions, I will order the hardcover book with lay-flat pages.ДЇor more information, see What Is a Good Photo Book, Photo Books to Avoid, and More Photo Books to Avoid. The convenience of being able to create and order photo books in a single product is compelling. Summary вЂ“ I will use PanstoraвЂ™s 12Г—12 softcover book for my photo books. What this means is that you must inspect all books carefully when you get them, and if you donвЂ™t like the print quality, you may be out of luck. We just ask that they be reported within 30 days of the order.вЂќ

Warranty вЂ“ Panstoria does not offer the same warranty that Creative Memories has typically provided, stating вЂњWe do 30 days for all workmanship defects free of charge (doesnвЂ™t include subjective determinations of print quality like my photo is too dark, or вЂњthat red isnвЂ™t the same as on my monitorвЂќ type issues). Panstoria offers a choice of black or white end papers, compared to Creative Memories spargo. Unlike Creative Memories, Panstoria does not texture their covers.

Glossy works well for all covers and I suggest this option for photo books with darker covers, since matte laminates make these covers look muddy. PUR is the recommended approach to softcover books, so there should be no problem there.Д¬over вЂ“ Panstoria offers matte and glossy options. Lay-flat pages significantly reduce the stress on hardcover bindings, and I recommend this option for hardcover photo books from Panstoria. The wire stitching perforates the pages less so they are harder to tear our than a standard sewn book that may perforate each page 3 to 4 times more.вЂќ It does however stand up better when trying to tear out an individual page. While PanstoriaвЂ™s vendor has not done official burst testing, they did state, вЂњ What we found was that wire stitching doesnвЂ™t hold up to the fiber stitching when you try to pull the whole book block away from the cover (for example take the cover bend it all the way back and then pull the cover from the book block).

In addition, ISO standards for hardcover books do not recommend metal stitching. I contacted Werner Rebsamen with the Hardcover Binders International, and he specifically cautioned against the use of stainless steel wire for this purpose, indicating that similar bindings had failed prematurely when tested with the Universal Book Tester.
