Wrap Up: Wedding Album Arrives From VioVio

Technology + Gear Contests

The wedding album finally arrives to my high expectations…

I’D PREVIOUSLY reviewed VioVio’s photo printing service using a complimentary voucher as the nudge I needed to finally print my wedding album. The first part of the review covered the following items:

  1. Overall look and feel
  2. Ease of use and functionality
  3. Processing time

The last item I planned on reviewing after the album arrived was its delivery time as well as its overall quality. Though initial estimates said it was due at my doorstep between 4-8 weeks, it arrived in less than two weeks, which surprised me. Hungrily tearing off its packaging, I quickly dug for the shipping receipt to see if it had been “expedited” on a complimentary basis, but no — it’s $9.99 International SuperSaver shipping option did indeed get the album to me in Sweden within days.

On to quality…

Quality of Final Product

Wow! Niiiice!” I heard my husband from the living room. He’d stumbled across the album lying on our coffee table before I’d had a chance to properly thumb through it. The glossy image-covered hard cover gave the small 8.5″ x 8.5″ album an edible wedding-cake-like feel. The images were equally crisp, colorful, and popped right off its glossy pages, and I hadn’t even bothered to edit them before printing. Needless to say, that small album looked sleek.

My “Hidden” Test

But I already had a challenging test in store to really see if VioVio‘s image printing quality was as solid as advertised. While all the images selected were high resolution, large-sized files to guarantee optimal printing, I picked a very small sized (~318 KB) file with a dimension of roughly 900×600 pixels as the large back cover image of the album. I wanted to see if VioVio would fall flat when it came to using that small-res photo as my back cover.

Here’s the result:

While my quick snapshot of the album above may not do it enough justice, VioVio certainly passed all my quality checks. Overall, I was impressed with the quality of their product and service from start to finish, and would highly recommend them. I’ve got enough proof sitting on my coffee table right now…
