FAQs

First and foremost, our commitment to quality shines through in the use of archival paper, ensuring that your artistic creations will stand the test of time. The heavier weight paper not only adds durability but also provides a substantial canvas for your collages. Our glossy, high-end graphics add a touch of sophistication to your creative process, elevating your artwork to new heights. *Note: Due to differences in manufacturing facilities you may find that your book is not glossy as described. Please contact us at Collagesoup@gmail.com to report or if you have questions. These books are printed by Amazon in locations around the world and it’s been brought to our attention that from time to time they arrive with different printing quality.

We print double-sided pages to enhance quality and affordability. This method prevents color bleed-through and allows us to offer a wider selection of images without increasing costs. We aim to balance economic considerations with the desire to provide high-quality printing and creative variety.

Yes, the images in our books are created through a collaboration between our artist Emilee and Artificial Intelligence. This innovative partnership combines human creativity with AI's capacity to learn from millions of digitized images, including our own artworks and those from other artists. We have embraced this technology, investing in tools that enhance our creative processes, particularly in the realm of collage.

We design our collage books with creativity in mind, believing that every part of an image can inspire and enhance art projects. Images that may appear cut off are intended for use along the edges of artwork or layered beneath other elements, offering unique possibilities for creative expression in your collage work.

We release new books regularly, with new additions coming on the first of every month, including one new paperback, one Limited Edition ebook, one Special Edition ebook, and one $.99 basic ebook. As for freebies, we offer them whenever inspiration strikes, so they are less predictable. Be sure to sign up for our email list to receive notifications about new releases and freebies first.

Every digital tool has an environmental cost, but compared to the traditional print industry, it’s significantly lower. Canva, for instance, uses much less energy than a commercial printer, and even AI—while more intensive—helps us run a leaner, more efficient business without warehouses or physical waste.

Yes! Some of our products are available as Amazon print-on-demand paperbacks. That means each book is only printed when someone orders it—so there’s no excess inventory, no warehousing, and far less waste than traditional publishing. Still, print uses paper, ink, and water, which is why we balance our offerings with a wide range of digital downloads that skip the shipping and material footprint altogether.

In traditional publishing, thousands of books are printed at once, often warehoused, and then shipped in bulk. That process involves: a) High water consumption (up to 7 gallons per book), b) Paper waste from unsold stock, c) Shipping emissions and packaging waste. With our hybrid model—digital-first, with thoughtful print-on-demand options—we cut out a lot of that environmental toll.

We’re working on it. We support water conservation and restoration efforts, and we’re actively exploring partnerships that let us offset our AI water use and Amazon print footprint. Our goal is to create sustainably while still spreading creativity far and wide.

Our collage paperback books invite you to creatively use the entire page. You can cut the pages in various ways to utilize not only the primary images but also the extra patterns and elements that make each sheet fully functional for diverse artistic expressions.

Our paperback books feature images on both sides of each page. We encourage users to copy and print these pages as needed, using every piece, whether it's a main image or an additional element found in the scraps, to add depth and interest to their collages.

Absolutely, however please note we cannot guarantee the results because of Amazon manufacturing is not consistent or because of human error.

You can print the ebooks on any paper you prefer. The choice of paper depends on how you plan to use the printed images. For projects involving wet media, a laser printer is recommended because the ink won't run. For dry media, an inkjet printer works well, though it's not suitable for wet media. Ultimately, the type of paper is up to you and how you intend to use the images. Experiment to find what works best for your creative needs!
