Full details
This Exacompta AutentiK photo album is designed for individuals who want to stylishly preserve cherished memories, offering a sophisticated way to store photos with a tactile imitation leather cover and protective pages.

Troubleshooting
Photos not sticking securely
Ensure you are using appropriate photo-safe adhesive (e.g., photo corners, acid-free glue stick, double-sided tape). Check that the surface of the card page and the back of the photo are clean and dry before applying adhesive.
Protective sheets are difficult to align
Carefully remove the protective sheet and re-align it with the edge of the card page before placing it down. Work slowly and deliberately to ensure it lies flat and covers the photos evenly.
Cover feels slightly stiff or dusty
Gently wipe the imitation leather cover with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Allow it to air dry completely before closing the album.
Pages feel thin or flimsy
The card pages are designed to be rigid (250 g/m2) but also to allow for easy turning. If you are adding very heavy items, consider distributing the weight across multiple pages or reinforcing the page with additional cardstock if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This album is ready to use upon arrival. Simply open the cover and begin placing your photos and memorabilia onto the white card pages. Use photo corners, acid-free glue, or photo-safe tape to secure your pictures. Write captions or personal messages directly onto the card pages or the protective sheets. Remember to place the crystal protective sheet back over your arranged photos before closing the page.
Compatibility: The album is designed to hold standard photo sizes, particularly 10x15 cm prints, with space for approximately 5 photos per page (front and back). It can also accommodate other flat paper-based memorabilia like ticket stubs, postcards, or small drawings. Ensure any adhesives used are photo-safe and acid-free to prevent long-term damage to your prints.
Care: To maintain the album's condition, keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity. Clean the imitation leather cover with a slightly damp, soft cloth if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure the protective sheets are properly aligned to prevent dust or moisture from reaching the photos.
