Finding A Printing Company

I've contacted a few studios to print my book they quoted me really high prices as I only wanted one book printed. I felt a bit stuck and was worrying I wouldn't be able to find someone to print it for me.

I spoke to Emma and she told me some of the others years had used online printing companies before so told me to go away and look at them. 

Below is a list of printing companies I found which I believe would be able to print my book to a good quality. 

- Jessops

- Photobox

- Vistaprint

- Blurb

- Bonusprint

- Snapfish
- Printed

I read views on each company and looked at layouts they provided. One Bonus Print website I noticed they offered an option for flatlay were the images in a book went flat and didn't crease in. This option really appealed to me as I wanted to put a lot of double paged spreads within my book.
I spoke to them about there page options and what kind of finishes they offered. They said they offered glossy or satin. I was happy with both options but knew I wanted glossy as it would make my images pop more the colours would be vibrant with glossy.

Bonus Print also had an app you could download to make your book on your mac allowing you to add tiff images. For me this was a massive bonus as the images would be better quality and would be able to see the details better.
