5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful idea for professional looking albums, September 30, 2007

This product works like a charm - and the software is not necessary. This thing is so easy to use, there are no moving parts. Just stack either matte or glossy photo paper very neatly, align it in the book, and pop the book in the machine - the color changes when its ready - and thats it! The results are wonderful - a very sturdy album that looks very professional

I have been making my own photobook covers from scratch for years, then tried ordering them online. The online books are nice, but more expensive, and you have less control over the layout. I have made four books so far with the Unibind system, and the finished product looks just as good as the ones I ordered online. It really works just as easily as they say it does.
The software, on the other hand, has a few problems, at least on my computer (I run XP). I have only made landscape books, and it prints your photos a little lower on the page than shown on the screen. I had to move all of my images higher to even things out. It also gives me strange error messages sometimes when I open a file. I have to load a different file then go back to it, or restart my computer. On one of my files, a message saying that I am about to delete several pages from my book pops up. Just click "no" if this happens to you, and the book will open with no incident. Other than that, the program is really user friendly. It has an auto layout feature that's fun, and you just drag and drop your pictures onto the page.
One more thing- mine came through Adorama Camera, and the box appeared to have been opened before. The package was smashed (but not the outer shipping box), and the photobook cover scratched up. Everything looked unused, but was just rattling around in there with no inner packing to secure it. Fortunately I had already ordered a pack of ten covers, so I didn't need that one (a pack of ten comes in a neat slide out cardboard drawer.)
A great product!

Very pleased with this. It does exactly what is says it will and does it well. I did two albums the first day I got it, couldn't believe how simple and easy to use. The albums look great.
