Print Your Own Elegant Digital Photo Albums. OPUS Albums Use Glicee Paper For Fantasitc Results!
By Daniel Roberts
There are so many products on the market – however you don’t see too many photo albums for digital printers.
A site which specialises in albums for you to print yourself is www.opusalbums.com.
They have several designs – and have promised more to come.
If, like me, you know what you want then I would recommend the OPUS album. This uses Innova’s paper. There offer three different papers according to your taste. There is a natural white soft textured art paper – nice feel, but it needs careful treatment and if you are printing a lot scuff might be a problem. The alternative is a high white rag paper – very smooth and with really good results. This is more of a photographic paper. These are both double sided. Then there is Innova’s flagship Fiba gloss – which professionals – especially those in monochrome seem to rave about.
To get the best you need to use a semi-professional printer. I have just invested in an Epson R1800 and this is fine. The R800 had feeding problems – it does not really like the heavy grades 250gsm plus.
I would also recommend that you use the Epson archival matte settings rather than an ICC profile. There could be exceptions, but the one I downloaded from Innova was a bit disappointing.
I have also tried the Print & Bind. This is good for the home amateur. It uses a good cast coated photo glossy paper – and you can use the standard paper settings.
OPUSalbums offers ACDSee’s FotoSlate IV to layout the album. It is an intuitive programme and a doddle to use. A really good presentation album – with foreground and background photos can be produced in half an hour.
It’s worth a try!

I ama "Business Builder". affiliated to the International Confederation for Business Advancement, a worldwide group of people who “put the world’s businesses together to do business". Clients progress and are able to move into new and profitable markets.
Put simply, I take companies out of their traditional comfort zones - to sell more, to sell better – and get better products from better sources. So many companies are entrenched in a range of customers and suppliers - and miss export and public sector opportunities, and new applications for their products. I find, introduce, evaluate, develop and help people exploit new business relationships.
Personally I specialise in the business and office supplies industry helping to reshape product portfolios and sourcing new items from China and elsewhere.
