Quality Photobooks

I have used Mimeo for photo books for many years. The quality has continued to improve with technology so that the photos are really excellent now - as good as my computer screen. They have always had thick paper and excellent binding. The software is simple and easy to use, and i like that i can do journaling on the page with the photos. They are printed and delivered within a few weeks. They are not cheap but you get a quality product.

LOTS of reason to use!!

I enjoy using the Mimeo app to make my annual AND special gift photo books 1) easy to use and move pictures as I desire on each page and add color backgrounds as I please along with texts anywhere on the page or even a picture, 2) the photos on the quality paper in a strong hard cover look just like the photos on my iPhone, 3) when I did have a question or a hiccup, Mimeo’s workers were quick to respond, didn’t worry about time, were knowledgable and very kind! I have been using Mimeo since 2007.
