A fine art photography book is more than a collection of images.

The sequencing, paper choice, binding and format all play a part in how the work is experienced. Get those decisions right and the book becomes part of the storytelling.

If you're planning a photography book and want to understand what separates a good one from a great one, we've explored it in our latest blog.

That pile is what May and June looked like for us. Degree show catalogues, zines, magazines, photobooks, children's books, photography books, childrens books and so much more.

Every single book in that pile was someone's project, someone's idea, something they had spent time making and wanted to hold in their hands. Our favourite part of the job is still the message that comes in when the delivery arrives and the client is happy with what they've got. That bit genuinely never gets old

We have been following this shop on Instagram for a while, so when I ended up in New York recently, I knew I had to go and see it in person. Casa Magazines in the West Village is an awesome independent shop stocking publications from all over the world, covering everything and people genuinely make the trip just to have a browse.

How do you showcase a whole class of emerging photographers in one piece of print? The Photography Foundation chose this A5, 52-page degree show catalogue – wire stitched, silk throughout and full of bold imagery.

Each trainee gets an artist statement and a hero portrait, with extra room for grids of live shows, documentary work and studio experiments. The silk stock keeps colours punchy and skin tones smooth, while the A5 format is perfect for slipping into bags and portfolios after the show.

We worked closely with the TPF team on proofs, bleed and reprints to make sure everything landed in time for their tight deadline.

Price matters but so does knowing there's someone there when you need them.

If you're printing something important, having a real conversation can save a lot of stress. We'll answer your questions, help you make the right choice and check everything before it goes to print.

That's how we've worked for the last 20 years and we wouldn't do it any other way 😁

When you're printing something you've spent months creating, it helps to know who's on the other end of the phone!

We like to keep things personal. You'll always speak to someone who knows your project, can answer your questions, and genuinely wants to help you get the best result

If you've got a project you'd like to chat about, we'd love to hear from you 👉🏼

When you’re working to a deadline, you don’t want to be chasing answers or second guessing decisions.

Being easy to get hold of, giving clear advice, and keeping things moving, that’s a big part of what we focus on, alongside the print itself.

If you’ve got a project coming up and want things handled properly from start to finish, we’re here to help 👉🏼

It's funny to think how much has changed in the last 20 years.

Things that now feel completely normal didn't even exist back then.

The same goes for print, the technology, machinery and processes available today would have seemed pretty unbelievable 😁

It makes you wonder what the next 20 years will look like, both in our everyday lives and in the print industry.

Whatever comes next, we're looking forward to seeing it!

Great printing and looking after the planet should go hand in hand.

We have never seen any reason to compromise on either.

AI is changing how people create children's books.

What once required a team of writers, illustrators and designers can now start with a simple idea and the right tools but creating the images is only part of the process.

If you're curious about using AI to help create a children's book, we've broken down the process in our latest blog.
