Photo Folio Product Differentiation

The APM software can be configured to produce a number of different Photo Folio products that print to the EQ-9800/9850. The different product types come in multiple sizes, but there are five main categories of products:

Hard Cover Books:

• Printed one layout to a page, and are available in 20 and 40 page varieties. Customers also have the option to add additional pages, up to a max of 50, depending on the product.

• Pages are stacked and glued into the cover using the Unibind photo book binder.

• Available in the software in the following sizes: 12x12, 8½x11, 11x8½, 8x8, 7x5, 6x8, 6x6, 6x4, A4 (landscape), A4 (portrait), A5 (landscape), A5 (portrait).

• Covers that the customer may choose from in the software include: black linen, black leather, brown leather, red linen, blue linen, white linen. The selection will vary by product type.

• The actual paper size for hard cover books is the same as the finished product size. i.e. 8½x11 books use paper that is 8½x11 inches.

Flip Books:

• Use pre-scored paper, and are available with 20 pages.

• Pages are arranged in the software so that two book pages are printed per sheet of paper, so when it is folded in half, the pages are in order.

• Available in the software in the following finished sizes: 8½x11, 6x6, 4x4.

• Actual paper width is double the finished size, as it is folded to make the final product.

• The cover of the book is the first page; the entire book is made of the same paper.

• The "binding" this type of book uses is called "saddle stitching", which requires a special stapler that is deep enough to reach the middle crease of the page.

Calendars:

• Available in the software in the following sizes: 12x12, 12x18, 11x8½, A4 (landscape), and A5 (landscape).

• Customers can enter custom text to personalize the days of the week with birthdays and anniversaries.

• All sizes print out with pictures on one page, and the calendar portion on another with the exception of 12x18, which prints everything on one page. 12x18 calendars are printed so that they must be turned over on the long edge when the page is flipped to correctly display the months in sequence.

• Available in horizontal (7x5) and vertical (5x7) formats.

• Use pre-scored, 10x7 paper.
