New to printing with Seldex?

If you haven't printed with Seldex before, we highly recommend ordering free test prints before placing your first album order. This allows you to check how your images reproduce on our papers and ensure you're happy with the colour and print quality before your album goes into production.

Prefer another design option?

You don't have to use SDS to create your album. You can also use our professional album design service and let our team design the album for you, or prepare your layouts using other album design software.

For more information about our album design service and other design software options, visit our Album Design page.


Supplying your own album files?

If you're not using SDS and are preparing your album files using other software, please follow the information below to ensure your files are set up correctly for printing.

File preparation

Before uploading your files, please read the album section on our File Preparation page. This contains important information on correctly preparing your album files for printing.

File upload specifications

Please supply your finished album files to the following specifications:

Files: Double-page spreads
File format: JPEG
Colour space: Adobe RGB (1998) or sRGB

IMPORTANT – File naming

Your album layouts must be named in the correct sequence to ensure they are mounted in the correct order.

Most album design programs will export your files with the correct file names, but we recommend checking them before uploading.

You can also choose to emboss on the album spine for an elegant, editorial finish.

Studio logo embossing

Add your studio logo to your album with custom embossing for a professional, branded finish.

You can add your full-colour studio logo to the first or last double-page spread of your album design instead, at no additional embossing cost.

Studio samples

Show it. Share it. Sell it.

There’s nothing quite like seeing and holding a beautifully handcrafted Seldex album in person. A Studio Sample gives your clients the opportunity to experience the quality for themselves - from the feel of the cover materials and embossing to the weight of the pages and the quality of the finished print.

Having a sample in your studio or at client appointments makes it easier to showcase the value of a professionally printed album and helps your clients visualise what their own finished album could look like.

Save 30% on Studio Sample Albums

We want to make it easier for you to invest in products that help you grow your album sales, which is why Seldex photographers receive 30% OFF Studio Sample Albums.

Use your sample to showcase your photography, demonstrate different album options and give your clients something beautiful they can actually pick up, open and experience.

Studio Samples are also a great opportunity to showcase the options you'd most like your clients to purchase – consider including your favourite cover material, embossing, paper and packaging upgrades so clients can see exactly what makes them special.

Check out all our studio sample offers!


COMPLETE YOUR STUDIO WITH MATERIAL SWATCHES

Alongside your Studio Sample, we highly recommend investing in material swatches so your clients can see and feel the full range of cover options available before choosing their album.

You can purchase our complete swatch collection in a personalised presentation box, or select individual collections such as Classic Leather, Linen and other material ranges to suit the albums you offer.

Having physical swatches in your studio makes it easier for clients to compare colours, textures and finishes in person, rather than relying on how materials appear on a screen.
