What is the difference between photo paper and premium paper?
At Pixum, we offer you two high-quality paper types with different printing processes.
Our recommendation, photo paper from FUJIFILM, isn’t printed but developed (exposed), just like standard photo prints. It’s bound with a layflat binding, meaning there’s no crease in the centre of your pages. Additionally, it’s slightly thicker and heavier than our premium paper.
Premium paper, on the other hand, is produced using modern digital printing and features a classic book binding. The pages are slightly lighter compared to photo paper, making it a more budget-friendly option.
“Great quality product. As always, the customer service is excellent. I ordered the wrong book size and the team were very helpful in correcting it.”
“Very happy with my latest Pixum photo book celebrating my wife's 70th birthday with one picture for every year. Print quality is excellent even from rephotographed old b/w prints. And the service from the Pixum team is always helpful and friendly.”
“I love my book and really enjoyed putting it together. The quality is really good. In the beginning it took a little while to navigate the app but I soon got the hang of most of what it did but not all. I would have liked it to do a few more things such as the ability to place photos in shapes and clouds etc. I also think the price point is rather steep and probably would make more books if they weren?t so expensive.”
“Thank you so much for my beautiful book, it arrived so quickly, I was delighted with it. It looks so professional with its beautiful hard back and glossy vibrant photos. I absolutely love it. This is my 12th book and I?m sure they just get better each year!”
“I have used Pixum for 10 years to create an annual family photo album. Always fast and faultless printing. The Pixum software is easy and reliable to use and offers almost limitless opportunities to create imaginative and stunning albums.”
