Queensberry Albums
Queensberry Albums are our most flexible and customisable product range. There's a lot to choose from, so on this page we step you through the selections you'll need to make in Photojunction. Start by deciding on the size, cover material, cover style and page type. You can then personalise the album with title pages and other accessories.
1. Album format

As with all our albums and books, your first and most important decision is the “format”, the size and shape of the album. The 12x12 and 14x10 sizes are our best sellers: they have room for plenty of images, making them more practical as wedding albums etc. Larger albums cost more, but you can place more images on their pages. Without doubt the best way to experiment with the possibilities is to design a few “virtual samples” in Photojunction. Click here for further details, guidelines etc.
2. Album Cover and Style
A black leather bound full photo front cover.
Once you've selected a cover material you can choose a cover style from a variety of Cover Motifs and Photo Front covers – or you may prefer a blind embossed or plain cover, padded or unpadded.
3. Page types
Duos are our signature page type, combining clean-cut matted and un-matted pages with no metal corner detailing.
There are three distinct products in the Queensberry Albums range: Duo, Classic Matted and the un-matted Digital Flushmount. Prints on matted pages can be displayed either Pagemount or Overlay style, but you can't mix styles in the same album.
4. Title pages

We offer one free personalised title with all albums. Choose from a variety of styles, including translucent pages and printed inserts that are designed to fit in apertures on the matted page.
5. Carry Cases and Display Boxes
You can present your albums in our standard packaging or upgrade for an extra charge to a Carry Case or Display Box. There are some restrictions on packaging with respect to our largest and smallest formats, which you'll find detailed here.

6. Digital Copies
Digital Copies are small (5 or 7 inch) replicas of the main feature album. They are always made with Flushmount (un-matted) pages no matter the page type of the main album. Where possible we match the cover material to the larger original album. Covers are plain un-padded (no decorative motifs or blind embossing, although we do offer full and half Photo Fronts), and the album is supplied in a cotton bag.
Digital Copies are available only from albums that we print and assemble. You can order a maximum of five per feature album (combined sizes). We cannot replicate some covers and matted album features, and strict technical and other conditions apply. Please check out this detailed information before ordering.
Service details
You'll make all of the selections outlined above in Photojunction as part of the album design process. Just start up PJ and play!
We offer design, colour correction and artwork services for Queensberry Albums.
If you're using Print-Ready service, please be sure to soft proof and review your files carefully before uploading as we won’t review or modify your files in any way.
Colour Management
Photojunction automatically installs and updates Queensberry’s colour profiles for all our silver halide and digital-offset products. To use them you just need to add them to your soft-proofing set-up in the normal way (in Photoshop, go to Proof Setup in the View menu – if you’re unclear how to do this, the process is described in our knowledge base).
Like Photoshop, Aperture has built in soft-proofing functionality, but if you're using Lightroom 3, you'll need a plug-in.
Prices
Prices can be downloaded from our secure website (you’ll need to login first). Covers, pages and printing are priced separately. There is no extra charge for shipping on albums 12x12 and larger.
We offer attractive discounts, which you'll find detailed in the price list. All items must be ordered and shipped together to secure discounts and avoid possible extra charges.
