Australia now serving professionals throughout Australasia and the
United States.
The companies distinctive
products includes 2 main lines: Magazine albums and the Designer
range.
MAGAZINE ALBUMS
Imagine a wedding
album that has no mats!
Imagine a wedding
album made up entirely of back to back panorama photographs!
Imagine a wedding
album that is so strikingly different that bridal couples in Australia
are willing to pay as much as three times their photographic coverage
cost just to have one.
Created to display
the new trend of Digital Imaging, Magazine albums offer an exciting
new way of presenting Professional Wedding & Portrait photography.
With the appearance
of a coffee table book", Magazine Albums display each
photographic print as an entire page. Each album is custom made
to your personal requirements in quantity of pages and cover materials.
They are available in three sizes;
The Magazine accommodates
an 11 x 14" or 10 x 14" image per page side or up to a
14 x 22" image across two facing pages that produces a Panorama
look. Photographs can also be incorporated on the cover to keep
that Magazine look.
Next size down
is the Junior Magazine accommodating 5x7" or 6x8" photographs.
Smallest in the
line is the Mini Magazine accommodating photographs and proofs as
small as 2x3" and as large as 5x4".
The Designer Range
"Design-ability" is the best way to describe the Designer
Series of albums. This is due to their ability to let you and your
client personally design the covers, leaves and the composition
and appearance of each mat, regardless of photograph format or size.
In fact the designer will accommodate all image sizes up to a 35"
Double Page Panorama print.
Handcrafted, Library
bound spines allow the leaves in a Designer to lay flat regardless
of where the book is opened or how large the album is.
Each album is built
to your personal requirements and design. (Ordering is simple using
the free Virtual TDA software). All of the leaves are perfectly
aligned, with no movement from side to side as may happen in other
binding methods.
Choice of Mat Colors & Textures
All of the Designer albums are available
in your choice of Black Linen, White Linen or White Rezack leaves
and mats.
The mats for the
Designer albums slide easily into the leaf through an opening on
the edge and lock into position. A great feature of the Designer
Album is that mats can be changed at any time which make errors
easy to correct and displays inexpensive to update.
Using "Add
On" or Personal Mats allow you to create mats consisting of
any combination of print sizes or graphic designs.
Add Ons are pre-designed
aperture sizes and combinations that make it easy and inexpensive
to create mats that compliment your photos.
Personal Mats are
computer programmed to the specifications of your desired shape
or size.
Panorama Pages
The Designer Series of albums allows for an impressive "edge
to edge" Single page or Double Page PANORAMA feature. No mats
are used, you supply the print and we mount it directly into the
album, where you nominate. It's like having a wall portrait in your
album.
Note that production can only begin on the Designer Albums upon
receipt of the Panorama prints.
Keyhole Pages
The Designer KEYHOLE
is a special page that consists of two opening panels. We cut an
aperture into the panel which offers a preview of a small section
of the photograph hiding behind.
Keyholes are also
flexible in that you can choose a suitable aperture from our "Add
On Cut Out" selector. You have a choice of 7 different Panel
Opening options. You nominate which part of the photo is to be seen
behind the "Keyhole".
Inlaid Cameos
An INLAID CAMEO
is a attractive way of displaying cameo photographs on Designer
album covers. Simply choose the size of the photograph that you
will use and tell us where on the album cover you prefer it to be
located.
Etched Metal Photos
Inspired by the introduction of our new "Fusion" metal
covers, Etched Metal Photos are a modern alternative to the cameo
cover photo. It incorporates a Hi-Tech process that actually etches
your photo (colour or black & white) onto a .5 mm thick metal
plate. Your image is indelibly imprinted into a metal plate as a
black & white image. This plate can then be mounted onto our
entire range of album covers. Print sizes as an Inlaid Cameo on
normal cover materials can be up to 6x4" and may be chosen
by using our Add On mat selector. However, for the new range of Fusion,
EMP sizes are limited to 90 x 140mm and 60 x 90mm.
EMPs mounted
onto Fusion covers are surrounded by a black border to further enhance
their presentation. The location on the Fusion covers for
EMPs are restricted to the "just above center" position
for all covers except for the Mk1 Horizontal which will appear "just
right of center".
EMPs are not available in the Timber Range of Cover materials.
