![]() ![]() If you're looking to sell your book either in print or in ebook format, Blurb offers that option in its extensive Bookstore, while MyPublisher does not offer a marketplace for book sales. You'll find numerous in-depth reviews on my site of both companies' papers and view actual books that I've made under their respective review pages. Print quality and color vibrancy can be affected by paper choice, so it's good to review paper options before ordering. ![]() I also find MyPublisher's colors more vibrant. I print with both companies on a pretty regular basis, but MyPublisher's in my experience is a bit sharper. Paper is a matter of personal preference as well as sometimes dependent on the subject matter of the book.Īs for print quality, both companies have very good print quality. MyPublisher offerings include the very opposite end of the spectrum - a super gloss paper. In terms of paper, Blurb offers more paper options than MyPublisher including a very matte paper in their ProLine options. MyPublisher also offers leather covers while Blurb does not. The covers (of the imagewrap/photo finish books) are matte which means they don’t show fingerprints and have more of a “real book” look to it. Both offer customizable covers with a full-page bleed on the front cover and back cover, and titling on the spine, printed directly on the hard cover surface for complete customization of the exterior of the book. Both companies allow you to fully customize your book. Photo book companies have been moving towards offering consumers more customization options - in particular the ability to change and create new layouts (versus fixed layouts). If you're looking to make a large coffee table book, MyPublisher's Deluxe 15 x 11.5 size is one of the largest around with some of the thickest paper available. So if you're looking to make a square or portrait oriented book, then Blurb would be your only option between the two, since MyPublisher focuses its offerings on landscape books. In contrast, Blurb also offers 7 x 7 square and 12 x 12 square along with 8 x 10 portrait, 10 x 8 landscape, and 13 x 11 landscape. MyPublisher only offers traditional landscape options: 7.75 x 5.75 softcover, 11.25 x 8.75 hardcover and a 15 x 11.5 size. The main distinction between the two companies is the type of photo books offered. ![]() Since the sale, MyPublisher only offers photo books, while calendar, canvas and card orders are now directed to Shutterfly's site.) MyPublisher began with offering photo books and later added on calendars and greeting cards as well. Blurb focuses solely on print-on-demand photo books and other book products such as notebooks and planners. Blurb and MyPublisher are two of the better known and well-established photo book companies. ![]()
