A few weeks ago I posted about Inkubook, and I received mine earlier this week. It arrived via UPS Ground 11 days after I ordered it. So, about a week and half, but the website did say it would take up to 6 days for printing and binding and then 3-5 days after that for actual shipping with that option. It was still within the timeframe, but I have a feeling the only reason why it may have taken that long anyway is due to their free book offer (worth up to $43.98 depending on the # of pages and the type of book you choose, and you pay only for shipping).
The photographs all came out pretty much true to my computer screen. My only caveat to you, and this definitely applies with any on demand photo book printing service, always make sure your photographs and images are optimally adjusted before uploading. The reason why I say that is because one photo that I hastily added to my photo book was dark and shadowy around the face, but then I checked the file on my computer and realized that silly me, it was too dark to begin with. Bad quality photographs will ruin your photo book, no matter how great the printing process and the binding.)
Overall I’m happy with my Inkubook. It looks and feels like a hardcover storybook you buy at the bookstore, but with my photographs inside! The picture quality is great and every single page within the book is perfectly neat and as you ordered it. The cover seems a bit loose along the spine, something that I’d like to see improved in the future as this “looseness” actually causes the spine to wrinkle (and stay that way) as you open and close the book.
Inkubook is still offering a free book for new members, so check them out today
