I am a graphic designer (over 30 years now) with extensive knowledge of digital printing and I was very excited to order the sample book. However when it arrived and I looked at the photos I was very disappointed. It appears to me they are continuous tone images. Which explains why you upload JPEGs instead of EPS or PDF files. Also, the printing seemed a bit washed out, which may be due to the type of digital press and the process being used in printing the one-off books. I am still planning to use your service for one-offs, but until the print quality and the allowance for halftoned images is apparent my business with Blurb will be limited to just printing samples and going elsewhere (trade printer) for the additional longer runs of the book. I must say the overall package is great (shipping, tracking, ordering, website, blog, etc). With a bit of tweaking (I suspect with your print service providers and allowing PDFs from experienced designers) you guys will have a killer service.
