FotoInsight starts the Calendar Season 2010 with 1/3 off on photo calendars 

Ever more and better images rest on ever smaller storage media. FotoInsight uses increased image resolution for innovative photo products and offers during October 2009 only 1/3 discount on photo calendars orders.

Cambridge. 8 Oct. 2009. - A professionally printed calendar using own photographs must rank among the most convenient photo gifts for friends and family. But photo labs can only print calendars, once the images have been uploaded. In the days before Christmas calendar production is running at full capacity. To entice early birds, FotoInsight offers 1/3 off on photo calendars during October with the discount voucher "EARLYBIRD". Those ordering their personalised Christmas gifts in October can therefore make real savings.


Photographic calendars can be ordered by uploading 13 digital images online. Alternatively FotoInsight also offers free Designer software, with additional calendar models, many calendar templates and many more editing tools than an internet browser could handle. Editing the calendar through a special software tool allows for example to freely position any number of images on a single page. This is useful when an event should be enhanced by scanned holiday memories, like entrance tickets, postcards or maps – these can now be integrated into a professionally printed photo calendar. The increase in design flexibility follows requests from customers, ordering photographic calendars year after year for friends and family.


The resolution of digital images is constantly increasing and professional laboratories now achieve super sharp prints at 300 dpi. “With the improvements in digital cameras it started making sense to offer larger photo calendars”, says FotoInsight’s Managing Director Klaas Brumann and adds: “We do not limit the print area for images on the calendar page. Photos can cover the whole page and the calendar template can be layered over images.


The number of photos taken has been increasing sharply, with the share of those being printed dropping constantly. With the technological advancements in screens and photo-sharing the user prints special images for special occasions; quality expectations towards print products and photo gifts are on the rise. Photographic calendars from digital images are ‘all the fashion’. Photo calendars ordered through FotoInsight, get printed on the latest generation of Indigo printing equipment at 300 dpi print resolution. In this process so called ElectroInk, with particles 1µm to 2µm small, is applied. The reduced particle size of the toner creates a higher perceived resolution of the printed image, cleaner edges and finer, finer, more adherent layers than traditional printing methods.


Sticking in is so yesteryear – today it’s professionally printed calendars

FotoInsight is updating it’s photographic calendar range just in time for the year-end gift shopping season, with photo gifts made from the users own digital images, which the online service delivers professionally printed on 250 g/m² paper. Instead of sticking images in, digital image files allow for an individual design and professional print, on a variety of personalised gifts like photo mugs, shirts or photo books. FotoInsight’s Managing Director comments “FotoInsight specialises in photographic gift items. The new generation of photo calendars will resolve many people’s problems in finding unique gift ideas.”

FotoInsight's New Photo Book XL with extra Space for Holiday Pictures 

FotoInsight produces innovation in rapid succession. Only two months into the launch of the latest FotoInsight Pro Software the online photo service releases an upgrade for additional, larger photo book formats, classic covers and the new PictureLive DVD service. The new version of the FotoInsight Designer software is available as a free download.


Half of all households use digital cameras. A growing share of camera users take high resolution pictures which can be enlarged to poster size. While computers, mobile phones and cameras have a tendency to become ever more compact, the resolution (or number of pixels) of digital images is growing ever larger. In line with it grows the demand for large format prints. FotoInsight serves this trend with posters, canvas printing and the new XL photobooks, in which pictures can extend across a 60cm / 24” wide double page spread.

The digital image quality has improved vastly. The demand for our large format print products like poster- and canvas print has experienced explosive growth” explains FotoInsight’s Managing Director Klaas Brumann and adds: “We had many enquiries about how to create photo books in larger formats with the superb Photobook Software; the new XL-format photo book is the answer.”

The FotoInsight Pro photo book software is intuitive and does not require specialist knowledge. According to the vendor, the Layout Assistant in its “FotoInsight Pro” photo book software can design a coffee table style photo book in XL-format in under three minutes. Users with time and patience may enjoy designing their own printed photo album page by page or simply refine the Layout Assistant’s design with texts and repositioning the images.

FotoInsight now offers a range of 94 different photo book formats counted by cover, size and number of pages. Its portfolio ranges from a pocket size photo booklet through bound books in square format (8”x8” / 20x20cm) or A4 to the new XL-format (12”x12” / 30x30cm). All photo books (square, A4 and XL) from FotoInsight are available with very durable channel bind in a linen cover or in a soft or hardcover where cover and spine can be edited freely with photos and text. All photo books are available in different sizes, from 26 pages to 98 pages (increasing in eight page steps).


A popular occasion for digital photo book prints is the wedding photo book. With the software upgrade FotoInsight includes over 100 layouts and backgrounds and now adds classic cover materials, e.g. faux leather and premium linen in the large photo book XL. for true coffee table photo books.

Convenient and flexible

FotoInsight offers an easy to use, online photo service, compatible with digital images from any digital camera or camera phone brand. According to FotoInsight’s management its prints cost less and last longer compared to inkjet printing at home. FotoInsight offers a wide range of photo presents and print products like photo calendars, photo puzzles and picture pairs. The new FotoInsight Pro offline order client also includes the PictureLive-DVD (up to 4.7 GB), providing an optional, animated multimedia slide show with background music for the DVD player on a PC, TV or DVD player.

The creative freedom provided by the new FotoInsight Pro Software is not limited to photobooks, but the same tools can be used to create a calendar design with a number of different sizes and templates and a virtually unlimited number of images per page, image layers, free positioning and flexible text tools. FotoInsight’s Managing Director Klaas Brumann states: “Our team’s goal was to create the best, most flexible and easy to use photobook printing service. We think we have achieved this goal and are looking forward to the feedback on the new software version.”

New Glass Mug with Photo 

FotoInsight prints digital images onto customised mugs and other well inspired gift ideas


A novelty mug made of frosted glass with a coloured photo imprint broadens FotoInsight’s range of personalised photo mugs. Online photo services like FotoInsight turn a digital image into a personal gift, which preserves memories in colour for many years. As a gift mug it can be a personal present or a funny present.

The frosted glass mug can be edited with a photo and text, allowing to further customize a ‘name mug’ with a photo print. Photo mugs are well suited for coffee, tea, milk and other non-translucent drinks which shine through the frosted glass and change the photo background colour. The new glass mug and other photo crystal items can be edited directly online at FotoInsight or through the FotoInsight Designer software client, which is available as a free download.

The coating and heating of glass mugs is a technically much more demanding process than with traditional china mugs. In a special process the coating is treated with heat whereby it binds to the glass’ surface. Instead of a rubber like surface this new printed mug photo is as smooth and shiny as silk and also longer lasting than with other processes.

The Cambridge company FotoInsight is known as an online photo print service and for its poster, photo calendar and photo book printing as well as for its large range of photographic gift items, in which the glass mug is a new addition. The range of picture mugs also includes a ceramic coffee mug and a large traditional beer mug. The new glass photo mug is dishwasher resistant, 9.5 cm tall with a diameter of 8.2 cm and costs £5.99 (p&p £2.99) to anywhere in the UK, Ireland or Europe.

FotoInsight offers an independent online photo service, fully flexible to be used with images from any digital camera or camera phone. According to FotoInsight’s management the online service offers superior quality at lower costs when compared to inkjet printing. FotoInsight offers an extensive array of award-winning photo print and photographic gift items for the consumer, business, photography, and graphic arts markets. From Cambridge, FotoInsight’s Managing Director Klaas Brumann comments: “Photographic memories must never fade. Our technology is smarter, providing long lasting photo gifts in superior quality.”
