EXCELLENT MOMENTO STAFF

published

This is the 2nd travel book I have ordered thru Momento. Each time I have had to phone to clarify something and both Elizabeth and Gina have been EXCELLENT - they are so helpful - as if it is there own photo book they are putting together. Their help is so appreciated especially considering that so much On Line Purchasing does not have a "real" person to assist you.

Amazing quality

published

I honestly didn't know what to expect when I ordered my photo book. I had used some of the big chain stores before and the quality was not fantastic. I decided I am going to finally get everything digital into print and had planned to test a few companies to see which one I preferred.
Well, what can I say, my book arrived yesterday and I was absolutely blown away. The quality is amazing and I will definitely be ordering more. No need for me to try anywhere else. Momento will be doing 100% of my photo book printing from now on.

Momento staff have been very helpful each time I've prepared a project and the product is of top quality. Recently I needed a photo book completed in time for a birthday and the company made every effort to get it to me in time. Very much appreciated.

buggy, expensive and slow

published

The reason I give this a one star review:
- products take a long time to send (almost a month)
- they send with Australia post (which has a lot of issues) rather than fedex or a better postal service
- its quite expensive for what you get
- there is no autosave, so if your computer restarts over night like a typical Microsoft computer you will loose everything. you can only save the book once it is finished, rather than saving it as you go
- the application can be quite clunky, there isn't any autodesigns which put your photos into them
- the text function can be hard to use and buggy
- you have to buy a dust jacket separately - imho it should be included in the already over inflated price
- a very frustrating to use application

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

All I can say is that Elizabeth and Ryan worked hard with me to get what I needed done with a restricted time frame. The end result was a Dove book with egg shell paper which was fabulous for writing on.
Every one could share their memorable moments by writing on the egg shell paper and a number of people commented that the pen did not smudge (like other products on the market).
Our kindergarten teacher of 29 years was retiring and this was the perfect gift with all our memories shared inside she said " this will be something I can treasure and look back on fondly, what a great gift".
Once again Thank you!

I was very nervous about creating and buying a book with momento as it is very expensive. My book cost $90 but the quality is so brilliant that it was worth every cent. Very pleased. I would use again and I highly recommend.

Top quality

published

Made several books, all turned out excellent
Software is the best I have seen but crashes a lot and so you need to save regularly.
Lots of creative and professional finishes
Love the text, frames and background options. Lots to chose from.
Not sure about the final PDF size for production. Around 1MBYTE per page for a 210x290mm page and my photos are usually 10-20Mbyte each. So they are certainly compressed a lot when sending to momento and so final photos are not as sharp when compared to my printer.
Yet they look good in the book.
Binding excellent
Price expensive

Thanks Libby,
I like your books and certainly my choice however they are expensive when compared to others who now offer pro layflat options and quality paper.

Thank you for the feedback Peter, it is appreciated. We hope you feel that the expense equated to the quality of printing, binding, materials, software and service, as our aim is to be the best on all of those fronts :)

So Happy

I have used Momento to make my photo books for my last four years of holidays. Love the program, so easy to use the layouts provided or manually create your own. So easy and the final product is a of a high standard. The customer service is fantastic and prompt. I have used email, facebook and the customer service line to get help and the staff are fantastic. Can not praise this company enough. Great job Momento. Love your work. x

Fantastic Customer Service and Quality Product

published

I would highly recommend this company for your photobook needs. I was skeptical as to what the final product would ultimately look like (very OCD!) but was totally blown away when I received my photobook, within the promised timeframe and it was more beautiful than I could have imagined. The customer service is also second to none - they resolved quickly a small issue that arose (created by me!) exactly as I had hoped.

Reprint of a damaged book

published

Unfortunately we recently received one of our photo books damaged on delivery. Momento went out of their way to replace the book for us urgently in time for Xmas. Their customer service is outstanding and most commendable, and expert help is only a phone call away. We have published many books with Momento over the years and enjoy the high quality of their product. I would highly recommend Momento to anyone. They are truly a great company that focuses on customer satisfaction, and are proud of their product. We look forward to our next photo book being published by them.

Outstanding quality and idiot proof to operate

published

I just received my 7th momento album and as usual I am delighted with the result. The quality is the best on the market. Having seen other people's albums from inferior companies, the quality is chalk and cheese. And the most amazing thing is that I take quite bad quality photos, yet in the album they look awesome! The product is so easy to use. I have no problem at all and yet I can't even load an app on my phone. It's that straightforward. Thank you for another wonderful product.

The phone service I experienced when I was in difficulties was faultless. Everyone was so pleasant and showed no irritation with my naivete in producing a photo book. This was my first attempt and the end result was superb - just how I imagined it. Great that you are compatible with Apple Mac. Thank you.

So impressed with my 2 photobooks from Momento - 100 pages each, and every page is perfect. Great quality materials, good print quality, and nice touches with the choice of a matte cover and transparent covering page over the first photo. I enjoyed using the software to put it together too. The time and effort I put into arranging the photos was well worth it :)

What would be a suitable dollar value for a gift voucher for n engagement photo album

Around $100. Depends on the number of pages to the album. I guess the recipient could always add to the gift value if you wanted to gift to a lesser value.

Is it possible to add a shadow on photos once placed into photobook. Maybe Im looking in wrong place but dont seem to find any information in regards to shadowing

4 answers
Rod
Rod

As far as I remember Momento does not have a "shadow" option for photos. Some of the frames (e.g. curling corners) will create a shadow. However you can use a dark or black background (drag to page and then select option to clear background - it will change to a square/rectangle which can then be edited) to create a shape a little larger than the size of the photo and then change its opacity and put the photo above that shape and then adjust the spacing to create the shadow offset you require. That will work.

Hi Malvoleo
I'm sorry this isn't working for you.
Can you tell me a little more:
- is the issue with installing packages from the Updater panel on the right side of the software?
- and what is the name of the pack that you're trying to download?

Yes, it is downloading from the side panel in the software. Specifically I have been trying to download the cover background colours but I have checked and the other backgrounds, with the exception of the Texture backgrounds also will not download.
