We dealt with Modern Postcard for many years, usually good results at
reasonable price.

Lately at school, where I am also director of our campus gallery, we do 4x6
invitation/announcement cards, 4 color separation with UV coating, in a
group run - 2500 copies - $300! Shipping is extra. This is a strictly
digital operation, you have to upload everything online. Name of the company
is Accurate Printing, located in Woodbridge, VA.
Web site: http://www.accurateprinting.com/home.html
Have been using them for 5 years, 8-10 printings per year, never a problem.

Hi Stacey

I've used Modern Postcard several times and have always had good results.
Their website also has all the information you need to prepare the artwork
and upload it to them and they send e-mails during the process to keep you
updated on the progress of the job. The website is modernpostcard.com.

Best wishes

Hi Stacey -

Check out ADG Printing - www.adgprinting.com. 500 cards, full color
printing - your artwork on front and back - $99.00, as I recall. It's been
a little while. Everything is done on line - very high quality.

John Maasik from Mega Color [jmaasik@megacolor.com] 1-888-339-2001 in
Florida just helped me to get 15 000 brochures (3.25"x8.5", back and =
front,
3 color) printed for under $1000. That included re design and shipping.
Thought that was a very good deal and he also do all the rest; post- and
business cards. Excellent quality and perfect on time.
Hope it helps.

Hey Stacy,

Here's some information for you: The main postcard maker in the market=20=

is Modern Postcard. You can "Google" them up quickly. But here is an=20
outside runner as they say=97 I like a company called OvernightPrints.
They have a print quality that beats Modern Postcard. Only draw back is=20=

they only do the small card size.
recommend them. $129 for 1000. 2 sides.

Some of the best advice I heard regarding postcards was get the
double size kind. The reasoning is that a normal size post card might
end up in a drawer or get lost. With the big ones, you're giving them
a work of art that they won't want to loose and will most likely put
up somewhere where they can see it often, especially if they really
like your work. Free advertising!

So which ever supplier you choose. Super-size it!
