Just Announced at WPPI

It's an exciting first day in Las Vegas at WPPI in the Miller's booth with the announcement of our latest additions to the Miller's line.  All will be available with the next release of Miller's Remote Studio in April.  They include:

  • Eighteen new cover options for our Flush Mount Albums.  Choose from a variety of colors, as well as Etched Aluminum, Brushed Copper, and Brushed Aluminum.
  • LayFlat Albums and LayFlat Press Books.  Order at a discounted price when added to your Assembled Album order, or order them separately at full price.  Select from fourteen cover choices and four different square sizes (5 x 5, 8 x 8, 10 x 10, and 12 x 12).
  • Twenty new cover options for our existing Hard Cover Press Book line.  We're offering a number of new colors in both leather and cloth, as well as Printed Canvas, Printed Glossy, and Printed Metallic.
  • Boutique Packaging.  Select this option and we'll wrap your order in our special upscale packaging.
  • Accordion Wallet Books.  Available through Miller's Press, our Accordion Wallet Books will come in two sizes -- 3" square and wallet sized.

These are just a few of the many new products we'll be adding in April.  If attending WPPI, be sure to stop by the booth to see samples.  Stay tuned as we roll out more details in the very near future.

I can't make WPPI either, but I really want to see these new items.  Please post photos for us less fortunate photographers.  If not, I'll make the trip to Franklin, TN this year to see them.

Yay!!! Now I won't have to deal with multiple vendors for my products!!! By the way, I saw that MPIX is offering the stand-out mounting option. When will that be available on the professional side?

Yes, variable number of pages will be available on Flush Mount hinged, flush mount Pano, and LayFlat albums, as well as on the press books.

Is there any chance that a sample pack of cover options will be available for purchase once these new products become available? We are a touchy-feely society when it comes to products.

If you didn't get a chance to go out there, the new covers are absolutely amazing. Great job you guys for taking the flush mount albums to an entirely new level!

They even offer a clear cover (with a print below it) with engraving. I didn't see anything like that from anyone else! They really hit this one out of the park!

Great job guys!

WOW!  I am really excited about this.  I have been THRILLED with all of your products (especially the albums).  I cannot wait to order some samples.  Turn around time is of course, amazing.  Thanks for this improvement on an already great product!

For All those who missed WPPI, it was the best show ever.

How about giving some options on your Legend albums???  Like brown leather, and some different matte backgrounds.....people still like the traditional look.

Steve Burns said:

I've offered any color as long as it's black.. ;-}

On the up side I'm glad to see new options for the covers for the albums and books.

On the down side I just placed an order for a sample book in that "any color, as long as it's black" this afternoon...

So I'm going to be interested as well in some sort of sample kit if you are so inclined.

When are we going to see the Mac version of Remote Studio? I was really hoping find that listed here

Angie said:

When will the online gallery become a little more appealing and pretty? How about it being customizable (see collages.net?)

I love Miller's but it really isn't much to look at for customers..

Paul said:

I love the fact that you are offering new cover options, but the 20 page size limit needs to be addressed. In addition, like someone else mentioned, the event web hosting needs a major update. I love Miller's and hate Pictage, but I find myself hosting weddings on Pictage because the interface is so much nicer and more user friendly for my clients.

Brooke Moore said:

YES!!! Can not wait to see the options. We all need these ASAP you have been loosing a big piece of my business due to the lack of page amount opotions and the limit on the covers.

Your software is so way easier to use and I like doing Press and flush mount for the same client and look forward to having them all through MIller this season.

BUT we need sample materials it is impossible to just sort of describe things and sell them. Even if you get photos up to look at it doesn't have the same affect for a client as touching.

Lavinda said:

I agree with Angie and Paul.  I absolutely love Miller's but have been very tempted to host with Pictage because of the nicer and easier interface.  Seems to have a more professional photographer appearance.

Tim Young said:

I too am excited about the new options.  I would also echo that swatches in hand are a great selling tool.  Please get the info for these products to us a soon as possible.  My wedding season is already here and if I don't have to ship another order off to another album manufacturer that would be great!  Thanks for listening to your customers.  Now let's get to work on converting our RAW files so we can get away from the computer and back behind the camera!

When can we get ahold of templates for these new albums so we can start designing the?  I am chomping at the bit to place an order for several!

Jason Becking said:

All ordering information will be available when the next version of the Millers Remote Studio software is released.  We're working on debugging that currently and hope to have it available for release very soon (days, not weeks, is our hope).

We appreciate your patience and your excitement,

April is coming to a close.  When will we see the new Remote Studio software?  The boutique packaging?  Texas School???

Jason Becking said:

Monday.

I believe Julie is writing a blog post about this at the moment.

Ditto on the Mac release of Remote Studio...

You guys can do stand alone software for the Mpix side but not here...

I love the Millers side and the options are so much better... but I am forced to either use my sis' PC for album work or order from Mpix or another company all together for such items.

I want to keep everything under one roof... it makes more sense to offer products from such a good company with such great quality.

Please... please.. please remember your mac users...

Reeshire Studios,

E-mail customer service (custserv@millerslab.com) and they should be able to help you with a short-term solution (on the albums/books especially).

We are also working on a web-based program similar to press quick order as a longer-term solution.  Similarly, press-quick order will be updated to include new products/options as we can.
