Wanting to immortalised your work on postcards, just trying to see if you got what it takes to make a sale on selling your own postcards or just having fun at a project. Printing postcards can be done at home, sometimes having it done for you is the best option. If you need them printed in bulk or if you just want to make sure they look professional, then you should consider having them printed. With so many options available now, it can be difficult to select the best printer for your needs.
Decide how many postcards you need. If the number is in the thousands, you need to look at bulk printers.
Figure out how much time you have. This will help narrow down your options. Almost all printers can tell you how long it will take to process and ship your order. Check their website for a turnaround link. If you are on a deadline, make sure they can meet it.
Use a high resolution image. Some websites will automatically tell you whether your photo is at a high enough resolution to print well, but others will just print whatever you send. If you purchase 1,000 postcards and they arrive blurry, you will have a big problem on your hands.
Learn what perks each printer offers. Some offer in-house mailing or design assistance for large orders. This can be particularly helpful for small business owners. If you'll be mailing postcards to 100 family members for the holidays, going with a company who will do in-house mailing from your list may save you loads of time during the busy holiday season.
Try out free samples from printers. Almost all printers will happily send you samples to evaluate their product. This a great way to ensure that your order will look as professional as you want it to. It will also allow you to see and feel the paper and printing options and is especially helpful for anyone not familiar with commercial printing quality.
Consider a printing service that works with businesses and individuals. If you keep all your business with one company, there are usually discount codes and other perks they will offer you in return for you continued business.
