  • NEW! Pearl Paper for Miller's LayFlat Press Books

    We’re still in the midst of testing Album Quick Order, but wanted to share one new option that will be available for our LayFlat Press Books. With the upcoming release, we’ll begin offering Pearl paper, in addition to our current Smooth and Smooth with Gloss paper types.  Check out a couple of pictures of the new Pearl paper below:

  • Miller’s Album Quick Order - Coming Soon!

    We’re nearing the release of the new PC-and-Mac-compatible Album Quick Order.  We're currently testing it internally and based on feedback, are confident that you’ll find it to be one of the easiest ordering applications available.  Designed for users that do all their creative work ahead of time in Photoshop, it has been set up to place orders for Miller’s Albums and LayFlats quickly.  Check out what the new application looks like and how simple it is to place an order:

    Step 1:  After naming your order, the first step is selecting your product.  As you can see, AQO gives you the ability to order all Album and LayFlat offerings currently available through Miller’s.

    Step 2:  Once you’ve selected your product, your next step is choosing from our wide variety of cover selections.

    Step 3:  Add all desired options for your Album or Book by quickly scrolling down the list.

    Step 4:  Now you’re ready to upload your images.  Once designs are uploaded, simply drag and drop each of them in to build the Album.  If placing a pano image in your Album, click “pano” and it’ll automatically reconfigure to a panoramic layout.  After all images are inserted, click the “Next” button.  This’ll take you to the last step within the ordering process, where you’ll transmit the order.

    Check back with us next week to hear how we're progressing with our testing, as well as to learn more about what other new products features will be included with the AQO roll-out!

  • The NEW Miller's Community

    Welcome to the new and improved Miller’s Community! We’ve redesigned our Blog layout, making it simple for you to scroll through and check out posts that interest you. We’ll continue to fill you in on what’s going on here at Miller’s, but are also hoping to broaden our Blog with topics that are helpful to you. If you have any suggestions, we’d love to hear from you. 

    In checking out our new Community area, you may have noticed that the Miller’s Forum is no longer available. We’re currently brainstorming different ways to restructure the Miller’s Community and felt that we needed to start from scratch. While our Forum was used, the majority of posts were either technical questions about Miller’s software or product suggestions/concerns. We feel that we’re able to provide you with a much higher level of service when we can handle these type of questions over the phone or by email.

    We still want to hear from you! Earlier this year, we created a database which allows our Customer Service team to log any requests that you may have. We’re able to use this database to determine what is working for you and what isn’t, as well as what new products or services we need to offer based on your feedback. While the Forum was a simple way to offer suggestions, we’re better equipped to act quickly on them when logged by CS through this database. 

    Our long-term goal for the Miller’s Community is to provide a place for you to not only stay up-to-date with what’s happening at Miller’s, but the entire photographic industry. As we begin to restructure this area, we’re open to any ideas that you may have. Please feel free to share those by either leaving a comment on the Blog or emailing our Customer Service team at custserv@millerslab.com.  In the meantime, please enjoy!
