Hey,
I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for places to get postcards printed? I'm looking to print relatively smaller batches of many different images. I'd like text on the backs..
I'm in Peterborough, so recommendations of either larger corporate stores that we'd have here (ie UPS/Staples/etc) or online service would be most helpful.

Thanks!

Aw, I wish they'd let you upload more than one design for the minimum 100.. otherwise, they'd be great.

Ya I know.... but I am usually ordering a minimum of 250 cards when I put an order in, and if you save the SPAM mail they send out all the time, you can find a deal which you can cash in on, and get almost the entire order for 50% off most times or more.

Try Print Three on Charlotte Street. Or you could try the UPS Store or Lazer Graphics. If you want to go to Lindsay and try Hall Printing.

As someone who has been in the printing industry for twelve years, I would suggest you stay away from Vista. They appear very cheap but once you add in the shipping and handling they will be just as or more expensive than your local printer. Vista markets itself as a printer but where they make their money is on shipping and handling. Vista relies upon the novice print buyer as their customer base.
