Best solution to reprint an Aperture formatted book that Apple can no longer print?

I have a MacBook Pro with El Capitan. Apple no longer supports Aperture and I am able to reprint a book I made in Aperture. I have read about some of the online companies that make books and wonder if you have had any experience with Blurb, My Publisher or Presto Photo (all recommended to me by Apple) or any other online company. I would like the same (or even better) quality as an Apple iBook...great color and paper? Any suggestions or comments would be very helpful. Have you ever uploaded a PDF of an Apple book to another online book publishing company? If so, did it get messed up or did it come out like the Apple books?

Aperture 3, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Have a look at this user tip: How to Print Aperture Books After the Print Services Have Been Discontinued

There are links to posts from fellow posters here who tried printing with Presto Photo.

See this link for the paper qualities see: FYI on Books with Lustre Paper!

Hiya Apple Phan!

Meghan with PrestoPhoto here. 🙂 Our software will be able to take your Aperture book and make sure your dust jacket flaps are in the right spot and that everything flows correctly in the interior. We have Photo Lustre paper which is 260 GSM, so much heavier than Apple's paper - I think you would really like it!

If you have any questions at all along the way, I am here to help! Here on the forums and also "here" on Live Chat on our site. 🙂 Look forward to helping you with your project soon!!

Warm regards,

Meghan
