zoom album makes cute gift idea I ordered this kit with the idea of making the albums as gifts for family members who tend not to put pictures in albums. I thought the size would be perfect to carry in a purse/bag. The company recommends not using the HP AllinOne printers which is what I have. So I borrowed a HP Photosmart . The album pages printed very nicely on my borrowed printer but I couldn't get the cover to print. I was able to print the cover on my AllinOne. I didn't look further into this problem. It may have been a mistake I made. The albums looked great. My family members who received them were tickled! I'm saving the last album in my kit makes three total for me! Would buy again. I rated this a 4 star only because it would have been nice if I could have just used my AllinOne. It does sound like the company is working on this issue.
Great Product! This product worked beautifully on my Epson Stylus printer! The only minor problems I had were from my bad habit of not reading the instructions carefully. I wasted a whole sheet of photo paper by not feeding it into the printer in the proper direction. Once the sheet was printed I started making folds in the wrong directions and although it can be undone save yourself the extra work by making sure you're folding in the right direction before you crease the fold.
Excellent Minialbum This minialbum is an excellent product for crafters as well as for those who like to carry small pictures of loved ones or events. It is easy to use and can be carried in a purse easily. The bonus is that it will last a lifetime and Amazon's price is a 30 to 40% savings.
Not Mac compatible and maybe not a real company Saw this item on Zulilly coupons and after seeing the reviews I thought it would be fun. Checked to make sure I could use it on the Mac and now I'm very frustrated to discover that it's not Mac compatible. When it arrived the product date was July of 2008. There are no specs anywhere on how big the jpegs should be. When I download the photos and reopen the album I only got pieces of the photos. Assumed they were too big and through trial and error I sized them down. Still I wasn't able to preview and printing produced a blank page. The customer support number is just some guy's phone. There's no operator or company and even though I managed to get him by persistent calling I'm on a deadline he said he'd have someone call me back and hung up without taking my name my contact information or asking what kind of trouble I was having. No one has called or responded to my email.
Very clever very cute The end result was not perfect because my Dell printer would not grab the photo paper readilyI had to force it and my pictures were a little off in the albumthe instructions were also a little difficult but the idea is very clever and the album very cute albeit off center a little.
wasted my money Before buying this product make sure your printer is compatiable. I have a new HP photosmart and it does not work with this product. Five hours later I still do not have an album and have only one sheet left. I have used a full ink cartridge trying to get this right.
Bridget's Review I'm a picture fanatic. I love being able to look back on important parts of my life and remember what I felt like at that time. ZoomAlbums are perfect to carry around in your purse so you can share special times with your friends and loved ones. You can use a computer digital camera camera phone or a scanner to collect your pictures. You will need a color inkjet printer to print out your pictures.
Would be great if it worked with my HP printer I was so excited to get this kit to make albums for Christmas gifts but it does not work with HP printers the paper jams & destroys the photo paper. The listing should tell you what printers are compatible when you purchase it. Check their website before you buy this to make sure it works with yours they list what works and what does not.
Zoom Album Three It arrived in record time in excellant condition still in the manufacturers packaging. This is the only place I was able to find this item no stores in my area carry it I was not able to find it on ebay either.
Enjoyed this item very much I bought this item after seeing it on Martha Stewart. I gave it as mother's day gifts to the grandmothers. Perfect item so that they have a little photo book with the kids pictures on them all the time. The directions were okay but the directions for the album cover itself was in japanese but I figured it out. Just a note but whatever picture you pick for the cover be sure that it will fit nicely without being distorted because it needs to stretch a bit to make the cover. Also when you choose the pictures for the book you can also add a border and captions if you want. I will definately be doing these again.
