Blog

Welcome

This is the blog for professional photographers, and those who aspire to be. Our aim is to help professional photographers build long-term, sustainable careers.
Yesterday we introduced you to our Good Better Best product matrix, designed to help you navigate our products and services. We designed our new price lists, which you can download here, to match. Maybe the best thing about them is that they're SIMPLE. The prices for each range of products fit comfortably on a single page. No jokes, please, but that’s a step forward! How did we do that? More than 95% of you now order our albums and books in Photojunction, printed and fully assembled, so that's what the price list assumes you're doing. If you're interested in DIY, contact us and we'll send you a supplementary sheet. The next best thing about them is that, despite the destructive currency movements that have been impacting us afresh since early this year, our prices will remain the same, and in some cases reduce. (There are two minor exceptions you can read about below.) More good news… • We've dropped the prices on Queensberry Albums un-matted pages by 10% including printing. (We’re calling them "Flushmounts" now to avoid confusion with our digital offset products.) • We've reduced our album design prices for Flushmount, Duo and Press albums, by about a third in most cases. • You can now add translucent titles to all our album products, including press albums and flushmounts. • We're discontinuing the 9x9 format and replacing it with a 10x10 at the same price. To make way for the new we've also discontinued a few cover materials, as well as the 6x6, 15x15 and 20x16 formats. (The 6x6 format is now Press Book only.) Also going are all un-matted self-mount options, including digital albums, demis and self-mount miniatures. All discontinued lines will be available for a further twelve months as per our normal policy. I mentioned a couple of exceptions. 1. Since everyone is now using the latest version of our software we will be canceling the small "PJ Credit" in the New Year. 2. We need to align the price of smaller format covers (8x8, 10x7, 10x10) in the Queensberry Albums range with those of the Queensberry Press (the small formats have been cheaper in some cases). Obviously that is a potential cost increase to you, but it’s countered by the fact that all small albums, including 8x8s and 10x7s, will now qualify for free freight, or if you order them with a 12x12 or larger album we'll discount the smaller album by 20%. With that exception all the significant price movements are reductions, so why wait? They come into effect immediately. Next: why we're stepping back at WPPI and FOCUS. Cheers Ian
