Artifact Uprising Reviews

I’m really happy with the final product, but disappointed with the overall experience - including the user interface and customer service. There are different layout options with layflat albums that become really frustrating when you’re designing multiple albums. In some cases, you may want to repeat a spread… but in some cases you can’t only because you chose a different colour cover. 🤷🏼‍♀️ It’s framed by their team as a “design” decision, but it is just a frustrating user experience. The quality is the same as Milk Books albums of similar quality (digital, 6-colour) printing, however I personally prefer the user interface of Milk Books quite a bit more. I do appreciate the 8.5 by 8.5 option for AU - Milk Books only has 8 by 8. In the end, it mostly likely comes down to price (or which site has the better sale). Both sites result in incredible, worthwhile investments - and since I’ve now mastered the Artifact Uprising tool, I would purchase again if the right sale was on!

I went with Artifact Uprising for my wedding album. My photographer was going to charge upwards of $1,000 for an album, which was a bit too pricey in my opinion. I wanted an album that was much more elegant than Shutterfly (no offense I love their photo books but they are not quite the quality for my wedding photos). I decided to try Artifact Uprising and I am sooooo happy with my purchase. The linen cover with the gold print is very elegant and professional looking. The pages are thick and the photo quality is great.

I want to be clear that I am 100% happy with my wedding album, but I will say a few things that I do think need improvement. First, the album covers are limited in design. You either have to choose on of their designs, or you can do a plain text with words. Second, I really wanted a black cover as our wedding colors were black/white/gold and they did not offer black. We went with navy blue, which matches our decor, but I think they should offer black. I also wish that some of the photo sizes were a bit more customizable. If you want two portrait photos on a page, you have just a few options. I would have liked to have a bit larger photos but still on one page.

All that said, those are minor things that I'm sure they are working on. I had a bad day this week and my husband pulled out our wedding album and after we looked through it my problems dissolved and I'm so happy we have a beautiful album!

A bit pricey, but these prints are such great quality! I love the option to do a square or rectangle, and then choosing border or no border. I haven't purchased one of the books yet, but if they are anything like the everyday prints, I think I'll try them out soon.

Great site, easy to navigate. Fantastic products (quality, design, creativity) and delivered as promised. I have ben a happy customer for years now.
