Light Album- an alternative to photo printing and photo albums. Printing photos directly onto Light album pages is 2.5 times cheaper than printing the same amount of photos. Interested? Then we will be happy to tell you about the new way of photo printing.
Interesting about the technical side
Externally, the Light album looks like a photo book, but the pages are thinner and assembled on a metal spring. We use certified coated paper with a density of 300g/m2 as the base for the pages. Photos are printed on the pages using the offset printing method on an HP Indigo liquid ink printing press.
Digital printing equipment significantly expands the color gamut, allowing you to see the full range of colors in the printout. Liquid ink creates a high-precision image, including microtext.
Light Album is an absolutely unique product. It is an alternative to photo printing, a photo album, and a data carrier.
There are many ways to store photos. To find out more about where to store photos, check out the following:our article. But we suggest comparing Light with other ways of storing memories:| Ways to store photos | Shelf life | Number of photos | Photo quality | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Photoprinting | It depends on the printing method: for example, chemical printing with Epson inks can last up to 200 years. Inkjet printing can last up to 3 years. | Unlimited | Photochemical (classic) printing method - excellent quality. Printing on an inkjet printer - quality loss already within a year. | It depends on the printing method, quantity, and sizes of the photos. |
| Photo book | Indefinite shelf life without loss of quality when storage conditions are met | Up to 500 photos in a photo book | Great. For example, Forma Studio for printing photobooks uses Noritsu mini photolaboratories. | Expensive |
| Photo album | Indefinitely, with loss of quality | Up to 500 photos in the album | Photochemical (classic) printing method for photos - excellent quality. Printing on an inkjet printer - quality loss in just a year. | In general, it is expensive because it consists of the cost of the album and the photographs. |
| Information carriers | Restricted by the wear of the carrier, malfunctions in operation | Limited memory | Great, if the cameras have a resolution of at least 8 MP with autofocus, aperture f/2.2, and optical stabilization. | The price of the storage device depends on the memory capacity. |
| Gadget | Limited gadget lifespan | Limited memory | Great, if the cameras have a resolution of at least 8 MP with autofocus, f/2.2 aperture, and optical stabilization. | Price = cost of the gadget |
| Album Light | Indefinite, without loss of quality when storage conditions are observed. | From 3 to 500 photos | High-quality printing on a liquid ink machine HP Indigo. | Inexpensively due to the offset printing method |
Scrolling through frames in a smartphone gallery is tiring. Not many people will wait for you to scroll to the desired photo. That's why some try to organize photos on gadgets. They create folders. They label the pictures. But only owners of a "resilient, Nordic character" can browse through the entire photo array and find the necessary frame.
A photo album is a necessary item and a great gift. However, the cost of beautiful albums plus printing photos is not affordable for everyone.
Album Light is a fail-safe option. It looks no different from a photo book on the outside. And in terms of price, it's cheaper than printing photos.
