Fine art albums and print products for professional photographers
We’ve been mastering our printing techniques since 2010, marrying pigment inkjet technology with exquisite fine art paper with 'strokeable' texture to create wedding prints and more that will last a lifetime and beyond.
Inkjet is at the forefront of print innovation and achieves impressive quality, especially in the subtle details of highlights and shadows. We’ve become a benchmark for colour accuracy and high-quality print. We are proud to be one of only a few UK companies working directly with Epson so we can input our ideas and suggestions for the future of the technology.
We hold the exact details of how we achieve such incredible sharpness, accuracy, and consistency in your prints close to our hearts. But it involves high-end printers, archival-quality pigment-based inks, the latest HDR products, a climate-controlled workshop, a fully colour-managed workflow, and fastidious checking. The result—family memories and wedding albums that stand the test of time.Â
As screen images are in RGB and printed images are in CMYK, moving from one mode to another involves translation to ensure colour accuracy. It’s something we’ve honed over the years, although you can be sure that we’d never colour correct your images.We also continually develop our ICC colour profiles to achieve the very best image quality and consistency and prevent ink transfer.
End-to-end calibration also helps increase colour accuracy, so we recommend calibrating your monitors using an industry-standard device such as i1Display or ColorMunki. While we don’t supply downloadable profiles, if your system is fully calibrated, you can send us your images as JPGs saved in RGB mode using the colour profile sRGB. This helps us reproduce your colours as precisely as possible.

The experience of leafing through an album full of cherished images is as much about the feel as the look. So we ensure our albums are as lovely on the inside as they are on the outside.
We only use acid-free fine art papers and have searched far and wide to find the highest quality and broadest variety – from our popular smooth surface, matte finish Art White to our fine art cotton rag style, Photo Rag paper.
For each type of album, we’ve already selected the best papers so you can be sure your choice is suitable for the product. Our Fine Art Album, for example, are only available in Art White because its robustness prevents ink transfer, and its white point aids contrast and saturation.
While our Matted Albums and Client Folios are available in wider selections because mounts prevent the pages touching when the book is closed.

Feedback we love to share
I just love Folio Albums, their quality is excellent. What is really impressive is how they check your spreads before they print them. There have been a couple of instances that I have missed the smallest of errors in the detail. The guys emailed me to highlight these self made faults that could’ve otherwise ruined a beautiful album.
Love this service. 10/10

I had been considering albums for along time and had followed Folio on Instagram for quite sometime and was always drawn in by the class and beauty of not only their albums but their prints too.
So I bit the bullet and decided to place an order for a sample album. I could not be happier with how it went. For buttons I forgot to click or just things I wanted to add on, Folio were incredible. I spoke with both Becky and Julie, mostly Becky who was incredibly patient and helpful with my many confusions. Starting into albums is quite daunting and I really appreciate how they bend over backwards to help.
Thank you and I look forward to getting my albums from you in the future!

I have met the Folio Albums team in Atlanta at Imaging USA. They had a tiny booth but I loved their products right away. Some of the other suppliers had way too many options to my taste and I found it overwhelming. Folio have 2 great albums and that’s what I wanted. Also they could manage the French accents on the letters when doing the cover personalization. Also, they have great customer service and always send me tea when I order 🙂
