Album Copies

Based on your comments, we have created a super affordable, one-click deal to make it easy for you to add beautiful copies to your Main Album so your clients can share their memories with their families.

For our best-selling sizes (8x8”, 10x10”, and 12x12”), we go way beyond our regular 30% duplicate discount and will offer a one-click-flat-rate option to add AriaBook copies to your main AriaBook or ArtBook. That is right - the cost is fixed regardless of the spread count. This way, it is super easy to upsell books without calculating the cost repeatedly.

MAIN ALBUM 12X12” ARIABOOK / ARTBOOK

Available copies: 1x 12x12” and/or 2x 12x12” and/or 1x 10x10” and/or 2x 10x10” and/or 1x 8x8” and/or 2x 8x8”

MAIN ALBUM 10X10” ARIABOOK / ARTBOOK

Available copies: 1x 10x10” and/or 2x 10x10” and/or 1x 8x8” and/or 2x 8x8”

MAIN ALBUM: 8X8” ARIABOOK / ARTBOOK

Available copies: 1x 8x8” and/or 2x 8x8”

Multiple sizes and quantities are possible!

F A Q

WHICH ALBUMS QUALIFY FOR THIS DEAL?

Flat rate copies are available with the purchase of 12x12”, 10x10” or 8x8” AriaBooks, Matte Paper ArtBooks, Cotton Rag ArtBooks and Deckled Edge Cotton Rag ArtBooks (does not include Journal). Flat Rate Copies are configured as photo paper AriaBooks even if your main album is an ArtBook.

COVER SELECTION

Copies will have the exact same fabric and personalization as the main album.

UPLOADING DESIGNS

You don’t have to re-upload spreads for flat rate duplicates. Just select the duplicate checkbox (or checkboxes) on the bottom of the AriaBook/ArtBook page. We will do the rest on our end.

PACKAGING

By default, they are wrapped in kraft paper but you can select the kraft presentation box option easily. If you require a more fancy box, please add them as separate products from our Album Box Collection.

PAPER OPTIONS

If your Main Album is an AriaBook, your Flat Rate Album Copies will also be AriaBooks and the paper will match the choice you made for the Main Album of Fuji Silk or Fuji Lustre paper. Page thickness will also match your Main Album.

If your Main Album is a Matte Paper ArtBook, your Flat Rate Album Copies will be AriaBooks on Fuji Lustre paper with Regular page thickness. If you want to have copies done on Matte Paper, you need to skip the Flat Rate option and instead use the 30% Off Duplicate Discount that we have always offered.

If your Main Album is a Cotton Paper ArtBook (straight or deckled edges), your Album Copies will be AriaBooks on Fuji Lustre paper with Regular page thickness. If you want to have copies done on matching Cotton Paper, you need to skip the Flat Rate option and instead use the 30% Off Duplicate Discount that we have always offered.

Please remember that there will be a substantial difference in the look and feel of the paper between ArtBooks and AriaBooks so we recommend purchasing all albums as AriaBooks with this promo or using the standard 30% off offer for ArtBooks.

WHY NOT FLAT RATE ARTBOOKS?

ArtBooks are our most labor-intensive and time-consuming products to make. The huge difference in production requirements allow us to provide a flat rate offer on AriaBooks, but not ArtBooks.

CAN I STILL PURCHASE 6X6" COPIES (FORMERLY DUOBOOKS)?

Due to technical challenges, we can not offer 6x6” size with as many spreads as the main album (25 maximum). We recommend ordering 8x8” copies instead. Their pricing is very close to the former “DuoBooks”.

You can also opt for our super affordable QT Pockets, they come in single copies, bundles of 3 or 5. Perfect for a small number of spreads from 5-25, with a lovely gold heart embossed on the cover.

SAMPLE ALBUM COPIES

If you are ordering samples with code ALBUMSAMPLE50 and you select Flat Rate Album Copies, we will discount the copies flat rate price by 50%. This is a great option for providing sample books to vendors/venues. First spread must be marked as sample to take advantage of the sample discount.

DOES THIS CANCEL THE 30% OFF DUPLICATE PROMO?

No, our 30% off deal is still valid if you require a main AriaBook to be other size than 8x8, 10x10 or 12x12” or if you require your ArtBook duplicates to be in matching Matte Paper or Cotton Rag paper. In this case you still need to specify your requirements in the comments and we will manually recalculate your order.

HOW TO ORDER FLAT RATE COPIES?

Select your one of the products listed below, log in and continue with uploading spreads, and adding cover info. You will reach the end of the order form where we will ask you to select Flat Rate Album Copies. All you need to do is check a box(es), and the flat rate price will automatically be added to your order value. You don't need to upload files again or fill out any other details, we will use the same files and details you provided for the Main Book.

Please note that the copies will not appear in the cart as separate line items - they are considered an option for the Main Album.

One Year of PrimaBook!

The launch of PrimaBook last year, exactly the same time as the lockdowns started, was a way to keep us going. This little book helped a lot of photographers generate some income during a time when in-person events were being cancelled left and right. We never expected PrimaBook to be a big part of our product line, but it turned out to be a super popular item and we’re so glad to know that it helped so many this past year.

It turned out to be the perfect fit for portraits, newborn, child & family photography, boudoir, pet and even Holiday sessions - it’s a book that every client can afford. For some photographers this was the first album that they have ever offered to clients and we couldn’t be happier they chose QT to print their work.

PrimaBook began as just the book itself, in 3 sizes. Now, you can elevate that and create an amazing matched-set with the addition of a matching wood & fabric box. We’ve also added a number of embossing stamps to add to your choice of fabric.

Last month we partnered with Fundy Software to introduce AlbumWorks: a free album design tool for QT customers which allows you to design your PrimaBook. Again, it’s completely free to use - we cover the license fee for you when you access via our special portal. For PrimaBooks, just remember to set-up your project so you exclude designs that where images cross the center line, and start with at least 20 pages (10 spreads) as this is the minimum required for PrimaBook.

So what are you waiting for? Design and order your custom PrimaBook sample today at 50% off with coupon code Prima50 and some info about our samples requirements!

Documentary photography in Heirloom Album

“If you want to be a photographer, first leave home”

This quote by Steve McCurry, famous American photographer & photojournalist, has inspired us to make an album, which is a collection of our ambassador travel photos. This 12x12'“ Heirloom Album, filled with Jide Alakija images is a beautiful magazine style piece, where every single photo gets a proper exposition. One photo - one page layout.

The paper used in Heirloom is Digital Satin. This type of book is a bit different than ArtBooks or AriaBooks, because it doesn't open flat and starts with a right hand side page rather than a full spread. You should consider this book to be perfect for one image per side designs and lots of pages - so we highly recommend it for Documentary Photography.

To design an Heirloom, you can use various tools like Fundy Designer, Smart Albums, inDesign or Lightroom as long you follow these rules.

PrimaBook for Christmas

Christmas Mini-Sessions on the way? PrimaBook is the perfect album choice!

As the end of the year is approaching, and the Holiday Season just around the corner, we wanted to bring you yet another good idea on how to make the most of our PrimaBook. They have been a hit in 2020 with portrait, family, boudoir, and pet photography; and now, we offer PrimaBooks with holiday-themed stamps - perfect for Christmas mini-sessions! Take a look at the examples below.

The PrimaBook is available in 10 different colours, but for our photo session we’ve picked the Bluebell and Cranberry fabrics as we think these two match the Holiday Season best. You can add gold embossing using one of our new special winter holiday stamps: “Happy Holidays”, or the classic “Merry Christmas” stamp.

Even though this year our family meetings and client meetings have been greatly impacted and limited, some of us can still head outdoors for photos, or use FaceTime for remote photography so we hope that these new PrimaBook stamps will add a little holiday cheer for those who can use them! Visit our shops for more details and pricing!

Boudoir Photography with Jasmin Jade

The Art of Boudoir Photography!

It takes a lot of experience to manage a boudoir session - you need to make sure your clients feel comfortbale and can fully invlove with you - so that their inner & outer beauty can shine.

“When you hear ‘boudoir session’ what comes to mind? When I first started my journey as a photographer, I pictured the basics when it came to boudoir: bold lingerie, striking high heels, sensual lighting. It wasn’t until after my first few sessions that I realized there was a lot more to it than just that.

A boudoir shoot can be an exciting and gratifying experience for both the photographer and the client. However, the first time can also be a little bit intimidating! It is so unlike any other style of photography out there, and because of that requires some different planning for things to run smoothly for everyone. This is why I’ve decided to come up with some absolute essentials you may not think about needing until you’re already at your session with your client. ”

Deckled Edge Cotton Rag Artbook

We recommend Deckled Edge Cotton Rag ArtBook as the top-of-the-range album for boudoir photography. Take a look at Jasmin’s photos printed in our album with deckled edges, Peacock Silk Cover and Gold Embossing!
