I have the pricing info that they sent me via postal mail.

Are there any .pdf versions? I also am trying to figure out what their cost is to bind a 3500 series album. Is it just the cover cost and the page price x the number of pages? I don't see any other prices for things listed (ie cameo, different leathers etc...)

Also, does anyone have a comparison to the Graphistudio albums? It seems that the page type on the 3500 books would be of similar construction to the Graphi book.

I may be switching to Leather Craftsmen as a replacement for the past Graphi books that I've offered and just want to get a handle on pricing etc.

Thanks!

I'm not LC expert, but this is right off my last invoice.

10x10 cover only...117
Euro leather...18
30 10x10 pages...85.50 (2.85 a peice)
cover stamping...7
total...234.50

6x8 with 30 pages is 190.81

Don't forget that prints are extra, and I have WHCC do my album prints. My personal opinion is that LC is the best quality money can by, and that's why I sell it as my final wedding album. Graphi is more of a fun book, however I know that tons of people use Graphi for their final. (Joe B., Yervant etc...)The quality of the products used and the finished page is way nicer with LC. The prints are mounted to a sintra substrate, vs the thinner rc paper that Graphi uses. I haven't seen all of Graphi's books, so I'm going on what they sent me as a getting started/promo kit. You really can't go wrong with Leather Craftsman. They will occasionally damage a print, but overall they're awesome!

leather craftsmen pages are thicker than graphi - much like art leather montage art book.

the gutter can be cut or the photograph can be folded, like graphi.

the corners are square like graphi and montage art book.

there is no guilding on the outside edge of the pages.

i don't recall electronic pricing, but leather craftsmen is less expensive than graphi, depending on your printing costs. you will need to send the prints to leather craftsmen. we use whcc - love them.

covers are limited, but CLASSIC. leather, cameos, monograms.

i'm not sure about the formats for pricing - give them a call. they have been able to help me a lot while trying to figure this all out.

LC doe snot have a .pdf for pricing that I know of. You should be able to find all the pricing info in the doc they sentyou. Leather is default cover option, but if you want to upgrade to the nicer ones, look for the section that lists those prices.

Cover options are almost endless - art frame image, no image, sunken cover image, multiple images... these are all handmade one at a time - whatever you can imagine, they can create it. They're wonderfully helpful when you call, give them a shout if you have any questions.

I too was hoping that they had a PDF. I received their packet early last year, and I can't find the dang thing. I have a potential client that is asking about this and the 800 series (which I have prices for).

I'm needing the prices for the 10x13 and 10x14 3500s.
Any chance someone could PM or email me some pricing for these?

Thanks in advance!
