5.0 out of 5 stars It makes a beautiful book..., June 3, 2005

Mom of Triplets+1 (Mesa, Arizona) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Epson StoryTeller Photo Book Creator -- 8in x 10in (10 pages) (Office Product)

I saw the ad for this in a magazine and decided to try it for a Father's Day gift. The software takes up a lot of space, but the program is very easy to use.

I have a Lexmark inkjet printer and was able to print the glossy cover without any problems.

The photo pages also came out really well, although I printed those at Kinkos for better quality.

The pages were easy to bind into the book and it really looks professional.

I will be using this again and again. My only complaint/comment is that I wish they sold the hard bound books and pages seperately so more books could be made with the program.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lived up to my expectations and then some, October 11, 2005

This review is from: Epson StoryTeller Photo Book Creator -- 8in x 10in (10 pages) (Office Product)

This kit actually exceeded my expectations. I was able to produce a professional product in a few hours time. Make sure you have edited your pictures prior to starting your project. The software was easy to install and easy to use. The instruction booklet was complete and easy to understand. There are several album templates included in the software. The only thing that frustrated me was the inability to change the oreintation of a photo on the page layout. You end up having to choose your photos somewhat based on the openings on the different page layouts. If I was taking pictures of an event with the intention of making one of these books I would make sure I took pictures in both landscape and portrait orientations.

The quality of the paper provided is excellent, the book is sturdy and they provide extra sheets in case you make a mistake. Make sure you print the draft pages and go over them carefully prior to printing.

A great product!

This is a easy way to put together a photo album or write your own story book with your own pictures. Note that the pages are heavy photo paper and printable on just one side.
