Printing greeting cards?

LadyMorticia

Hello and apologies if this is in the wrong part of the forum!

I have some cards I've made that I'd like to get printed, but when I print them at home the pages curl and they just don't look good.

I was wondering if anyone can recommend somewhere online that I can get them printed for a relatively cheap price? And preferably able to have different designs in a pack.

Thank you in advance.

Bump. Insert other characters here to make it 10 characters.

Vistaprint cards are very nice, and relatively inexpensive, especially if you have a voucher code.

AFAIK, they are for batch printing of the same design, though.

Vistaprint or Photobox is probably what I'd suggest too.

If you wanted to go another route, you could scan in your designs, get them printed off at your local photo shop and then stick these printed images on to pre-made card blanks.

Try using a better quality paper, go up to 90 or 100gsm or even 120gsm if you can get it.

I always use 100gsm when making cards and keep the printer settings to a medium quality rather than good/photo as the extra ink tends to soften the paper.

The other option might be sticky labels? You can buy these in a wide range of sizes up to A4. You could print onto the labels, stick them to card, and then guillotine them along the edges to get a neat finish.

Labels can be relatively expensive for some reason.

Is your printer always like that? Or you want something like photo-thing? Because you could try to print somewhere else and see the result. Our library prints stuff from your memory stick, they charge by page and it's cheaper then in internet cafes...
