Article: Pixart Photobooks make great Christmas gifts!
When bloggers Minishorts and Kenny Sia reviewed Pixart products, I wanted to do the same. So I sent Pixart an email requesting to write about them, in exchange they gave me a free photobook–I chose the pocket-sized one–and when I wanted to buy a Pixart prepaid CD for Cordy, they gave it to her for free.
That was last year. Before I could review, I went to the United States for a much needed brain surgery on October 25th 2006. How time flies, huh, Dominic?
Thanks to the folks at Pixart, my dear photobook accompanied me across the Pacific Ocean and throughout my stay at the hospital.
It’s been a year now. Christmas! Time to honor my promise.
So what exactly is Pixart Photobook?
Using the conventional book scrapping method means….
photo printing + photo album + slotting = mess.
A Pixart Photobook, however, is one with your printed photos on high resolution pages, made into a book, A REAL BOOK, no kidding!
No, not recycled paper like some mass-produced trade paperback. Pixart uses high quality paper that shines — whatever it’s supposedly called. Haha. And the pages are THICK!
My pocket-sized photobook has covers that feel like matte finish. Very nice to hold.
If you like, the Coffeetable Photobook is an option. Bigger, fits more photos, and the cover is made of woven twill fabric.
Pixart Photobooks are thread bound. They definitely last!
High-quality printing. I made this photo of Eva surrounded by a drop-shadow border. Looks so real! Like 3D!

Check out this site that compared Pixart to a U.S. based Photobook company. Pixart won!
Jiggle Bells, Goodies swells. Good news from the team.
(a) Pixart has NEW stylish themes that were previously unavailable to me or Kenny Sia. Boo hoo hoo.
(b) Since it’s Christmas time, Pixart wants you to share memorable snapshots with friends and family. Hence, when you order one copy at the full price, you can purchase a duplicate at 20% discount. Good deal, huh? Especially cool for HIM and HER.
(c) Finally, a new option now available at Pixart is GIFT VOUCHERS! Get a voucher for someone. So when they download the Photostylist, create a book, and submit for printing, they only have to present the voucher as payment. Makes life so simple!
MERRY CHRISTMAS! Go make yourself a Pixart Photobook.
For my next compilation, gonna snap some chio
photos at Stephen and Foong Ling’s wedding next month. Heh Heh.
Have you heard of Photobook.com.my? I comment is Photobook.com.my is much better than Pixart, in term of the printing, binding and paper quality. Highly recommended to use Photobook service. Try them and you will see the different.
Great Website! It helps me a lot with my tough homework. I’m not so hot in that class
Thanks for the hard work, keep it up!
