online? I did some senior portraits todays and I need to get the wallet size prints. I don't want sheets like Wal-mart and the corner drug store has. I want the nice stamped or die cut ones with the rounded corners in a matte finish.

A pro lab.
MPix might do it - what you're looking for is called a 'die cut wallet'.
if you want to cheat it, Staples sells a little thing that will cut the round courners for about $6. looks just like the die cut ones.

| Just a word about the die-cuts: be sure you have enough empty space around all edges or the die-cut will chop into your subject. |

That's why I have the staples corner cutter thingy. Every so often (like this week) I shoot a nice frame filling image - 4x6 ratio of course. Wallets are 5x7 ratio - enough to crop off the edges in a horizontal print espeically with the 'margin' on a die cut wallet. My fix is to basically leave the wallets larger than normal and round the corners myself.

Thanks for the heads-up on the corner rounder thingy. Works great. I also bought a rotary cutter.
