Thread: Black and White Postcard Printer Needed

    Re: Black and White Postcard Printer Needed

    I just want to update this thread. I chose Modern Postcard who did a great job. The cards arrived today—they were actually shipped earlier than promised. The quality of the printing is very nice, and the company was a pleasure to work with. Customer service was excellent—I was assigned a contact person who was always available to answer questions, of which I had many. I highly recommend them and will certainly use them again.

    I've printed postcards on Ilford postcard stock for years. It comes preprinted on the back and is variable contrast. Really nice paper to print on.

    I ordered 500 5x7 cards, printed both sides—too many to do myself.

    I would recommend the discount printing from Bargain Basement Printing. They offer quality products at great prices. They print them in various sizes and have color options available for both sides as well as the gloss effect for either or both sides. Their turnaround is from 5-7 days. Get a quote online from them.

    I, too have been very happy with Modern Postcard.

    Also, ABC Pictures is good, but the stock is less firm.

    Is Ilford postcard stock still available? A few weeks ago I received a postcard made with it and it is very impressive indeed.
    I steal time at 1/125th of a second, so I don't consider my photography to be Fine Art as much as it is petty larceny.

    It is indeed, John--Adorama has it in stock now. Its terrific stuff when you want to make just a few postcards to send to friends & colleagues.

    Just received an order from modern postcard. Nice output and paper.

    Output is a tiny bit on the sharp side (not as bad as consumer-oriented-automatic-sharpening) , so don't sharpen photos prior to sending them. (this is compared to my home 4x6 dye sub printer) Otherwise, it's WYSIWYG.

    I made a PDF according to their instructions for shape/borders, etc.. gave them some money, and I've got a stack of nice postcards now.

    +1 for Modern Postcard. Also, Ilford used to sell 4x6 B&W postcard photo paper that I used a lot as thank yous to clients. I don't know if it's still available.

    oops.... just saw that Rick said that
