Always good quality and contact with company.

first time to order Black and White Album Result: excellent.

First: I still miss the possibility to rotate an image INSIDE its frame (I posted this request already in the past)
Second: I got again an uncentered text in the spine of the Fotoalbum, despite i tried to place it carefully. I wonder if this can be better checked by the software before ordering

Beautiful style, convenient software, fast service

Very good printing quality. Contrast, sharpness - the photos look beautiful. The finish 'zijde' looks very good for the wedding photos. It was also easy to order.

The quality is very good. Ordered a photo book and a poster. Very nice quality.
It was relatively easy to design the photo book. Used the software for it.
However, it took some time to understand what you can and cannot do.
The only thing, it is so expensive. Quality certainly has its price and occasionally I am willing to pay for it. Though if you are in need or would like to have 2-3 photo books per year but also need the same amount for presents it does become expensive.
But all in all, it budget is tight you will use it for special occasions only.

I have always loved Saal. It’s the only company I will print with, whether it be a book or prints. What extremely high quality their work is! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. They get the highest praise from me and anything photo print related. I so highly recommend them! And by the way…I just ordered about 50 different photos printed in 10 different sizes. I ordered them on a Saturday and received them on a Tuesday!!! How is that even possible? They also have so many different sized prints to choose from. Far more than any other company. I love Saal!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very nice photo book product. Simple and easy to use software.

It is unfortunate that you have to download the software in order to make the book and it is also unfortunate that if you want to add text, you have to do it externally and then import it as an image. You should just have text available to add into the photo book the same as the clip art. Also, my Apple Mac is from 2017 and I couldn't get the software to work on it. I had to use my husbands newer computer.

the photo rendering is very good quality and quick delivery. The web version is also easy to use and simple.

The print quality is excellent. The delivery was fast and perfect.

The only thing is that I apparently sent the wrong file to print.

Easy to set your order via nice UI of the website, premium quality print (I ordered a 50x50 cm B&W canvas print ), fast delivery, competative price. Highly recommend!

Excellent quality and very fast processing and delivery. Software is user friendly with a lot of templates and choices. Highly recommended.

The process leading up to ordering was easy and transparent. I process my raw images with a calibrated high-end monitor, and had created a triptych of 3 portraits to be printed as 50cm * 150cm behind acrylic glass. A bit larger than I can print at home. For my printer/papers/inks at home, I apply 0.5 EV lighter as compensation for the difference between proofing on a backlit display versus a print in reflected light. My calibration system takes ambient light in my editing room into account.
I had applied more than that - nearly 1 EV - in the JPEG generation for this print.
Not sure what kind of paper is behind the acrylic, but the white doesn't seem white like my FineArt baryta paper would.
So the print needs a serious flood/spot to light it and that makes it ~OK, confirmed by shining a tactical torch on it. The overall colour and tone are fine.
I was aware that this could happen and every photographer needs profiling and testing. With a combination of discount codes, I paid a bit less than half the regular price - but still a considerable price.

There should be more easy ways to prevent this from happening, I'd argue. And this first learning experience is not a guarantee that another type of print will work exactly like this one. I would run the risk that another print generated with +2EV will look that over-exposed or stil too dark.
The company has a channel for pros, and while I qualify for that on all technical levels, my volume would be "incidental" and I would not bother a working company for that.

Communication, web-tool, packaging, and shipping all worked out fine. Delivery was two days faster than the four promised.

I ordered a Professional Line photo album with Saal digital. And these are some pictures of the finished product.
Only 1 word needed: FABULOUS ! ! !
The quality is topnotch, I already tried other companies for making albums before them. From now on I will stay with Saal. The pictures are as sharp as given, just the same as I send them, I see no difference at all. This review is not paid and is just an honest reaction to the product. I normally dont do reviews but this product is A+++x100

I recently ordered a photobook from the Professional Line, and wanted to share both my positive and negative experiences:

Pro:
- The quality of the materials is very high, i went with an aluminium finish on the front which adds just that extra layer of attention and luxury
- Once you get the hang of the design software it is super easy to use and great at proposing lay-outs for your pages, once you pick out your pictures making the book is very fast and organized
- When the servers had an error the customer service was very responsive and apologetic making sure I did not waste time troubleshooting on my end
- Fast and timely delivery, the book was packed with care and got delivered in a few days

Cons:
- Sometimes making a small adjustment would take a long time to save, freezing the screen. I also experienced a couple of software crashes but always had my saved work once I rebooted. The app was a bit funky and unstable but would advise to make the book on a laptop anyway

All in all the experience was good and I expect to continue using the software going forward

Let me start with the positives:
- the print quality is great
- they don’t add their logos at all
- shipping is relatively fast

Negatives:
- virtually non existent customer service
- the mobile app is an awful, horrible experience. It is full of quirks, Apple Pay doesn’t work at all, if you try to register from it it’s impossible because of a keyboard bug that doesn’t let you add the security code from your email. When you use this app, it almost feels like it’s one step from completely quitting on you. You get a loading spinner for everything action you take, sometimes it just stays like that and you have to restart the whole app. When you save projects in the mobile app, they’re not available anyplace else. Hire some quality assurance engineers, people.

I got a €100,- voucher for the professional line.

The photobook is of great quality! The linnen cover and matt photopaper feel very, well, professional. There's one spread in my book where the picture is a bit fuzzy and pixelated. Not a huge dealbreaker, but the software didn't warn me about this. I was especially blown away by the quality of the darker colours and blacks: the inks look very rich.

I would recommend if you can get a discount, as these can get pretty pricey. Would order again!

Very beautiful photo book (Professional Line), well exceeded my expectations. Very happy with the result!
