A photo book from Profotonet always stands for high quality. Whether you want to capture memories of a holiday, wedding or family moment, our software allows you to easily design a luxurious photo album.
At Profotonet you can choose from two types of photo books: the Premium Hardcover Photo Book and the Professional Photo Book. But what exactly are the differences? And is it better to work in the online designer or with our downloadable software? In this blog we explain it so you can easily make the right choice.
Both photo books share an important feature: they are bound using our lay-flat technique. This means the pages lie completely flat without bulging in the middle. As a result, photos flow perfectly across two pages. With us, this is not an extra option, but simply the standard.
In addition, all photo books are printed on real photographic paper, ensuring maximum colour reproduction, sharpness and durability.

In the table above, you may have noticed that you can choose from different covers depending on the type of photo book. However, there are also some differences within these options. For example, certain leather types are available for the Professional photo book but not for the Premium hardcover photo book.
If you choose the Premium hardcover photo book, you can make an additional choice between thickened or non-thickened. When you select the thickened option, the album will have both a thickened cover and thickened pages. This gives the photo book a more luxurious and sturdy appearance. If you choose the non-thickened option, the pages are thinner and the album is lighter, while you still benefit from the lay-flat binding.
