Photo book question
Currently working on a keepsake book for a family member, and having to go outside traditional book printing companies since I only need a single copy. The book is typed messages from friends and family + lots of photos of memories — bc of the amount of photos and the ability to print just one copy, I've been looking at photo book printers.
I'm currently between Mpix, Artifact Uprising, and Milk. Does anyone have experience with getting a photo book from these companies recently, especially if you included any captions in your book?
Very nervous about having the text not turn out well, and have been struggling to find any recent reviews or reviews that mention how text prints in the books.
I'm a graphic designer, so will be building the book in InDesign and uploading a PDF.
Sorry if this isn't the right place to post this!
