Same here! I printed a big 120 page book with both Viovio and Inkubook (and 100 pages of the same thing in a smaller size for grandparents at Winkflash) just to try and compare so I'd know where I wanted to keep printing. The Viovio book was nice, but the colors were a little muted - enough that they looked just a slight bit faded, and it was easy to see when compared to other prints. Other than that, though, the book was pretty nice. Winkflash wasn't bad, and they have some great flatate book sales that price-wise can't be beat. But I think I'll be going with Inkubook from now on too. I was able to find a 30% off code and got my 120 page book for around $50. They seem to run specials pretty often, and post them on their blog.
As far as printing single pages goes, I have to second Scrapping Simply. I probably printed about 50-60 LOs with them, and the quality has been perfect. I didn't have to resize any of my prints, and I didn't have anything cut off or borders added. It seems like they are the cheapest place that I found for actual photo prints (they print on the same fuji crystal archive paper that my Costco prints were printed on). They are $1.99 for a 12x12, but occasionally I have seen specials for 25% off, making them $1.50. (I don't know how often those will happen, though.)
I love the look of the single page 12x12s in an album, but after realizing that my 120-page bound books were about 1/3 the size of my 100 page scrapbook albums (with the single sheets in sheet protectors), as well as costing much less to print, I think I'm going to make the switch to only printing photobooks.
Whatever you choose, it's nice to know there are so many options out there!
