Greeting card printing recommendations?

[Jim Poor]

I've checked WHCC, MyPhotoPipe, Vista Print and a couple other places.

Just checking for other recommendations before I decide.

Are they for you or for a customer? Do you need the postcard type photo greeting cards or the bi-fold type cards?
I have had a lot of different types of cards made, just depends on what you need though.

[Jim Poor]

Some of each. I got an order for 600 cards and my normal place has either 500 or 1000.

I've used these guys on numerous occasions Greeting Cards: Custom Greeting Cards & Photo Greeting Cards ~ OvernightPrints.com

I've used them for brochures, business cards and postcards. I highly recommend them! Fast turnaround time too.

I'd have recommended Mpix due to their smaller quantity requirements (min. 25 per set) but I recently did a print and wasn't happy with the quality of photo on the card. Their photo prints are of very good quality.

Ross & Nicole how is the quality of the photo on the cards?

I use Mpix as well and LOVE the quality of the cards. I did 5x7 folded cards for clients last year and they looked great - the clients loved them so much they're doing them again this year. I've also done the 4x8 photo cards and was quite happy with the quality of those, as well. This year I'm doing the 5x7 photo cards, perhaps with a linen finish.

Really? With my cards, original and a reprint, in both the photo looked grainy. I checked my original zoomed in 100% at high resolution and it had no grains. The card template was crisp and sharp but don't know why the photo wasn't looking as good.

May be I'll give them another shot next time.

Yep. They came out fantastic! Maybe you got to them on an off day. Or I lucked out and got to them on a superbly good day, lol.

I didn't even use a template. The whole front of the card was a 5x7 image. I had two more smaller images and some clipart on the inside, as well.

Thanks. I will try them again.
