With the holiday season coming up in a few months, it would be fun to be able to have some greeting cards available in DPC Prints!

Thanks, but it's either a few months early or several months late! LOL

Currently, I can order post cards, but I'd sure like some greeting cards.

Yes, I think this would be a real winner for holidays especially. Is this a possibility?

Sorry to bump this, but the photo could be on the front, and on the back would be the title and a web address for DPC PRints! Thats advertizing!

And we could order them by the dozen or by 20s--or other folks could order them, which would be the best.

I've ordered Christmas cards through ShutterFly for the last couple of years... I design my card and enter the addresses I want them sent to, and they mail them. If DCPrints has a similiar service, I will definitely move my business here.

Bump.

As the first snow fell on our mountains yesterday, I can see just how close winter is!

Current options: 3 x 5 photos at $.32 each or 4 x 6 photos at 1.20 each. I'd love to have a greeting card option at $xx a dozen.

I would certainly make use of the greeting card option as well. Great idea!

Gordon,

I've been considering using iPads for both christmas gifts and cards this year. I found them through shutterline.com.

Here is how you can do it yourself:

Set up a Photoshop (or equivalent) document at 12 x 6 inches.

Put guides at 3 inches, and at 7.5 inches.

On the far right side, put the image for the front of the card, it should be 4.5 x 6 inches.

In the next 4.5 inches to the left of that, put the DPC logo or any other "back of card" items.

The leftmost 3 x 6 inches can be used as a fold-in of other photos, text message, etc., or it can be trimmed off and used for wallet photos, business cards, card for gift package, etc.

You should end up with a 4.5 x 6 folded card, which is close to the standard A6 card size, plus that 3 x 6 extra piece. For horizontal-format images, just set it up as a 6 x 12, and put the front image at the bottom.

You can order this as 6x12 panoramic prints, with a base price of $1.20.
