I have done some simple cards for my wife to use as 'thank you's etc but rather than keep using originals id like to print them and use those. I might also make some Christmas ones and sell at church for church. Does anyone have any recommendations for printers who turn originals into prints? Thanks David

I have used ar2card.co.uk and found them very reasonable and good quality. Nice people to do business with too. I have also used salt-of-the-earth.biz who produce excellent quality prints, at a price. Alan Morris

I also like Moo but they do cost more , I like the Digital colour service people because they also do a square format which lends itself nicely to my work. Moo don’t do a square card or didn’t last time I used them. Though their business cards are rather beautiful.

Any hints and tips, tricks or traps? Like, the colours come washed out, the pencil lines really up etc?? David

Thanks guys and girls...is there value in painting oversized images so that they are then reduced in size? Its a technique used by graphic artists of course so I can't see why it would improve things here. David

Sylvia, that's such a good idea - wish I thought of it!!!! This is exactly what I will do next time, buy some white cards and stick my freebie photos on, simple.
