I’ve tested my fair share of the best photo books available, so I can say with complete certainty that the Blurb photo book isn’t one of them. After slaving away to create a photo book, you want a result that you’re happy and proud to share with friends and family when they come to visit. You may even want to get a book as a gift for someone. But the Blurb isn’t one I’d be happy to gift someone.
Color replication is dull and lackluster, while black and white images suffer from overly dark blacks, losing all shadow detail and dynamic range. After only flipping through the book a couple of times, the front cover started to crack, which was a letdown. And there was an issue with ink transfer across the pages inside.
