Hi,

We've been using Photobox to print pictures from our digital camera
and the default size that they offer is 6" x 4.5".

Unfortunately, after searching the High Street shops, we've now
discovered that this is not a regular UK print size as far as photo
albums are concerned.

We could, of course, but albums to hold larger prints but, before doing
that, I thought I'd ask in this NG to see if anyone knows where, in the
UK, we can buy some photo albums designed to hold 6" x 4.5" prints.

Many TIA - Dave.

Whilst not helping your quest for a suitable album - have you tried the
photobooks that Photobox offer - upload your pictures, select the
layout, insert the pictures, add captions if you want and in a couple of
days you get the finished item all ready bound - and for much the same
cost as getting prints done and buying an album and none of the hassle
of finding time to insert the pictures in the albums.

See

£20 gets you a 20 page album (extra pages are £1.50) that should give
you more than enough room for 60 pictures of varying sizes.

We had a few issues with some pages coming unbound from the albums but a
quick call to their customer services got a replacement done.

No connection with Photobox, just a very satisfied customer.

Cheers,

Andy

David,

Arrowfile sell binders and inserts to handle 6x4.5's, code RE8456C

and white background versions too.
