Here’s How The Program Works
Click here to go to the Albums Inc. website. Once there you will see a link which connects to a dedicated digital media site to create your materials. The site performs four basic functions: form filling, free edit, printing and finish.

1. If you are a new user, you must first create an account. List a user name and password you
   can remember.
   
   
2.  You will be taken to a page and asked to fill in basic information about your business i.e., your name, the business name, your company tagline, address, phone number, web address, etc. This information – also known as your profile – will be used automatically on the various marketing materials
   you produce.
   
   
3. You will then see a page that allows you to
   “Find Products” or “Start a Document.” Before doing either, though, click on “My Library” in the menu bar and upload the images you want to feature in your marketing materials, as well as a database of customer names and addresses. (Upload the addresses only if you are planning to have us address and/or mail your materials.)
   
   
4. Next, hit the “Start” button. Type in the product you want to customize – brochure, postcards, sell sheets, bellybands, etc. – and hit the search button. You can also click on the index bar for a listing of marketing materials available for customization within each
   style series.
   
   
5. Once you’ve selected the piece you want to customize, just follow the prompts on the page.
   It’s that easy! You’ll be able to place your own photography, select a background, choose the albums you want to feature and add your own copy. Depending on the template you choose, you also can list a promotional offer. Other basic information – like studio name, web address, tagline and phone number – will be pulled automatically from
   your profile.
   
   
6. During free edit, you can fine-tune your piece, making any adjustments directly to the pdf preview.
   
   
7. The printing step lets you set your printing options. There’s a place to list special instructions, if any, as well as the quantity to be printed.
   
   
8. During the “Finish” step, you’ll save your work by adding the document to your shopping cart. You’ll also be able to quit without saving or access a pdf preview one final time.

Wondering What the Program Costs?
Prices will vary depending on what you’re producing
and how many pieces you need. But all materials are competitively priced, and will cost you much less than
if you went to an advertising agency for similar professional design.

A Few Other Things You May Want To Know
Minimums. There are no minimums for many of the products. You can order 1 piece or 100,000 pieces –
just remember that the per piece price goes down as quantities go up. (see website for product specifcs)

Turnaround. Finished pieces can be shipped out in as low as 2-5 business days in many cases. (see website for product specifics)

File types. Files for should be provided as jpeg, flattened .psd or tiff, .eps or in a press quality .pdf
format without printers’ marks for most printed pieces.
If hot stamping, files should be provided as a layered .psd, .eps or native Adobe Illustrator (.ai) files.

Color. Every attempt will be made to match color.
Use RGB color mode. If a project requires a critical
color match, please indicate the desired Pantone color. Pantone color should be left setup as a spot color (not converted to process.) While not every color will match exactly, we will do everything possible to ensure the closest match.
