Mount and Bind Service for the Kingston Flush Mount Album
You may design your own composite images using any software you prefer (visit our links page). You may use your own lab, so you simply send your prints to us with your order form. Always send us a disc of your images or the name, phone number and lab order number from your lab. Albums Unlimited recommends Kodak Professional Grade Endura Portra and Supra photo paper and Fuji Crystal Archive photo paper as these papers were designed to touch each other in these types of albums. You may send your order form via the internet and supply us with a customer reference name so that your order can easily be matched up with your prints. When sending in your prints please refer to the same customer reference name that you listed on your order form. If you are using panoramas please send them to us as a full spread panorama. By not cutting them into two separte photographs you will allow us to line everything up evenly in your Kingston Album. We will cut the panoramas and there is a very tight gutter between the left and right side of the page thus allowing each page to open and lay flat without fanning and not damaging your photograph over time.
Albums Unlimited is not responsible for cuts down the middle of designed images that may fall across an undesirable part of the image.
We will trim no more than 1/16 inch off of the 3 outside edges of your photographs. We trim nothing from the inside edge. If using text in your designs please keep the bottoms of letters such as "y" 1/2 inch up from the bottom or the outside edges of the pages. We only charge a trim charge if your prints are different sizes or have a border that should not be in the album. We only charge an assembly fee if the prints are sent out of order. Sending a photo index or contact sheet (a thumbnail of each picture in order as it should appear in the album) will guarantee that your photos will be mounted in the order intended. If a photo index is provided and the photos are not in the order shown, Albums Unlimited will replace all prints and make a new Kingston Album for you at no expense to you. If you choose not to provide a photo index with your order you will be asked to sign a waiver to release Albums Unlimited from the guarantee that your prints will be in the the order you intended. Contact us for current turn around time on the Kingston Flush Mount Albums. We do offer a 5 - 7 day in house RUSH on BIND ONLY for an additional fee and you may upgrade your UPS return freight to 3 day, 2 day or next day air. When no upgrade is chosen your album will be returned to you UPS ground. We charge your credit card on file when we begin the process of mounting and binding for you. You will be called for credit card information on your first order. When the order is shipped out your card is charged for the freight and freight is based on distance traveling and weight. You may use your own carrier and shipping account if you wish by providing us with this information when you place your order.
Book Style vs. Calendar Style Opening
The Kingston Album can be made with a book style opening or a calendar style opening. Book style is bound on the left edge of the album and opens like a book. The calendar style is bound on the top edge of the album and opens like a calendar. The calendar style opening is a new concept that will set you apart from the competition. The calendar style opening looks best when used for albums that run horizontal rather than vertical. A popular size is 20 X 8 which would be a 20 X 16 print with the center seam in the album at the halfway point, thus making the album overall size 20 X 8 when the album is closed. The Kingston Album can be made in any size 2 X 3 through 16 X 20, vertical or horizontal, with the calendar style or book style opening. Click here to view this album;
