Notecards?

[mshockley]

Does anyone have a good online source for press products such as folded notecards. I have a customer that would like to get some made and have the picture that I took of their home on the front. I do not want these to look like a Photo Greeting Card you might receive at Christmas, but rather more like personal stationary products.

Any help is much appreciated! Thank-you!

Most labs have folded cards. MpixPro has some nice ones, and you can get a linen finish on them.

You can go to Photographers Edge and get them and they can have the prints made and attach them to the card. It is a very nice card and they have everything from note cards to special greeting cards. Very professional looking. But if they dont want to do that much work I would say Mpix also.

Susan, I was planning to use Mpix, and also the linen paper, as I have the sample papers from them, and I like them! Problem is, I'm uploading what I am certain is a beautiful, crisp, sharp image, that just looks like crap on the card at the website. It's enlarging it for some reason. I have even gone back into photoshop and sized the image to the size (4x5) of the card, re-uploaded, and it still then tries to enlarge it. Then when I re-size down to fit the front of the card, I can tell it looks crappy. I'm not sure what to do. I think I will email them!

I've used MpixPro for cards, but since it's the same company, it should work fine. Definitely email, them, they're super-helpful.

Okay, email sent through Mpix, and App filled out through MpixPro. Thank-you Susan, I was not aware there even was the "pro" division of Mpix. And I've resized the damn file again and it still looks a mess when I view it on the Card Template...lol....giving up for now until I hear from them.

Susan, take a look at MillersLab.com. They own MPix, but there are differences between what they offer. One thing I love about Millers is that FedEx is included in the price.

Yep I've looked at Millers, thanks! I use several labs and have considered Millers as well. Didn't know about shipping being included, I'll have to take a closer look at that. Thanks again.

Ha ha... I just realized when I replied above, for some reason I thought the original poster was Susan... Sorry Michelle... wasn't trying to hijack the thread.

Susan, just wanted to say thank-you again! I've got my 5 proofs from MpixPro on the way. I had been rather happy with Mpix, and still cannot get over how I somehow did not know about MpixPro ......if nothing else the ROES Ordering System is soooo much better. I was able to get those notecards done in about 2 minutes, compared to all the messing around I was doing yesterday.
