Does anyone know how to go about having photos printed into note cards?
I do a lot of farm photography -imagine that?!- and want to have note cards printed with my photos of lambs, etc.
Does anyone have thoughts as to how to get this done, approximate cost, etc.?
Thanks,

http://www.vistaprint.com/vp/ns/splash/splash_postcards.aspx?pfid=084&xnav=leftThey have great templates you can choose from, and they are relatively cheap and fast. Quite often they have great specials for free mailing labels, etc. You have to know what you're doing with your image, though. If you want nice photos, be sure your image is at least 300dpi. If you have dial-up service, you may not be able to upload the photo easily since it will be large. Also, be sure to size it right to fit on the card - they have the dimensions on the site so you know in advance what to do. 1000 cards is around $80, plus shipping, which seems quite reasonable to me. Also, check EVERYTHING before you approve the proof. The first biz cards I ordered came as matte, and I wanted glossy. Didn't catch that, so I was stuck. Had to re-order. But they were so cheap - yet good quality - that it was okay. Good luck! Kathy

You can also go to www.printingforless.com and check them out. I am looking at getting 500 business cards full color for $58.00 including shipping. They have a full line of printing options and products to order. Postcards, brochures, business cards, newsletters, etc. They are reasonable, I think. You can also request a free packet that includes samples of their work. Sandpiper

Thanks Kathy, JJ, Sandpiper, Chatty -
I will check out Vistaprint and get the sample from printing for less...thanks!
I did order biz cards from some place in CA - they were $80, inc. shipping, for 2K biz cards. Nice templates and I'm happy with the cards but am ready for a change. I don't go many places to give out cards and I still have, probably, 1500 cards - ouch!

Thistle, have you ever seen the note cards my son did? They are the ones with the beautiful flower groupings. Check out this site - www.modernpostcard.comThey did a fantastic job, but they are not cheap by any means. If you are looking for professional photos on cards, this is the best place we could find. And the people were delightful to work with. I had tons of questions since I had never done anything like it before. Let me know if you have any questions.
