Reply:I have found it to be very cost efficient to print my own. Just be sure that the printer you use is top notch (Epsons are excellent for reproduction work) and that your inks are archival quality and lightfast. Also, find a good source for your envelopes, clearbags, ect. Make sure to factor in these costs for your price plus your time. I generally package mine as single or 5packs and have sold with great success. I find that heavyweight matte papers from Epson work the best for clear crisp images with the truest color match. I truly hope this helps a bit. Have fun and good luck! :)

and use picture paper
Reply:If you print in small quantities it's ok, depending on your paper - if it's a good quality non-absorbent paper %26amp; you can use a reduced ink setting and the colour still comes true.





Remember you'll need a cost-efficient source of not just ink %26amp; paper, but also envelopes and clear bags (a MUST for retailing since inkjet/laser inks can smear). I find my cards often sell my work, %26amp; I have a good wholesale source - so it's effective for me.





But if you want to print large quantities, the price per piece goes way down - shop around and get quotes. If you can give the printer the camera-ready file that saves a lot since printers charge big bucks for photographing/ scanning and setup.





Good fortune on your journey!
