FiftyThree and Moleskine Launch Printing Service for Drawings from iPad App 'Paper'

[MacRumors]

FiftyThree, the developer behind the iPad-exclusive drawing app Paper, and notebook manufacturer Moleskine have introduced a collaborative product named "Book", which combines drawings done on the iPad app into a custom-printed journal notebook, reports The Verge. The product is hand-stitched with formatting done in the 4:3 ratio of the iPad screen, and is printed on Italian-made premium matte paper. Each Book can contain up to 15 pages of drawings from the app, and can also sport a custom cover of a design the user chooses.

​

Stunning, custom-printed Books, created right from Paper. FiftyThree and Moleskine, makers of the legendary notebook, bring you the simplest and most beautiful way to share your ideas with others.

FiftyThree and Moleskine's Books are available for $40 and can be purchased and customized through the app, with additional tips on optimization available on FiftyThree's website. Paper, a 2012 Apple Design Award winner that was featured on Apple's 50 billion App Store download announcement earlier this year, is a free download for the iPad and is available on the App Store.

I read about this and it is awesome. Paper is one of my favorite apps and being able to get a book printed for $40 isn't half bad.

While I wish it could be more than 15 pages, both Paper and Moleskin are pretty quality products. I look forward to getting one!

This looks great. Now if only I had the skill or talent to produce anything that would be worth printing

So we go from: real paper drawing > scanned in to digital > actual digital drawing > real paper drawing (printing)....

That's how we've been doing it for 20+ years.

I just wish the Paper app had the ability to import a background image. This is their #1 most requested feature, and they simply ignore uses who ask for it.

This thread from a paper employee constantly re-iterates that they're working on super-secret parts of the app and can't work on image import. This was 6 months ago, and the thread was closed:

Deliberately not "the simplest...way to share"

How do I get out of a book?

I downloaded this and was poking around but I can't figure out how to get out of a book once I am in it. Any tips?

Creative idea. I like. Will try Paper soon.

You say that like hipster is a bad thing.

I really don't know why people and the press try to sell "Paper" as something great for artists. I bought the app and all of it's in-store purchases. This app is not even close as good as Sketchbook Pro (and I hate Sketchbook Pro) people need to understand that Procreate is the only app that fit the artists needs. The rest of the apps for painting and drawing aren't that good, I have them all. Every one of them are installed in my iPad, I can't even explain it in simple words... Paper is crap wrapped as a nice gift. it looks good but it useless. it SUCKS. I don't even care if you find it good or fine because I KNOW it's not. Marketing has been great for this app. That's all.

however, this book option is super great! I hope other apps do this as well.

Paper is a great app for non artists .....

... I am a designer and I use Paper for tons of stuff ..... Not making professional drawings but recording ideas and inspirations .... It is beautiful easy to use and makes my work look much better than if I were using traditional drawing materials .... It is easy to print and share drawings and I love the book option but at $40 a pop I can certainly come up with a better alternative ...
