Printer For My Prints

It's the first month of the new year, usually an exciting time for serial shoppers (I appreciate the shopping experience now more than I did in December!). True retail therapy is when you don't have to think of a gift list involving people other than yourself(!) ...January, for me, spells markdowns, sales and special promos scattered all over the malls and my favorite shops online. It's when I spend (significant) time surfing the web for rare and irresistible deals.

Topping my list of must finds this month is a supplier for print material to support my photography needs. As always, high quality, discount printing is the way to go. I mentioned PSPrint before and I gotta say -- with their current (& very tempting!) marketing endeavors, they still remain one of my favorite online shops to check out for pro printing requirements. I took a look at their site today and they're printing rates are ridiculously low this whole month!

The reason I'm yapping about printers yet again is, this year, my to-do list includes having posters created for my photographs. I'd like to give family and friends framed portraits as gifts throughout twenty-ten. Not trying to start a fad, just going for some form of originality ;) There's also the yummy idea of having a desk calendar created featuring Erato's monthly highlighted images. The prospects are endless, most especially since my ideal online supplier keeps coming up with spectacular printing deals. :D

Oh & another project I have in mind is to finally put together my wedding images. Not necessarily in album form... I was thinking of organizing the photos in booklet format, to add an unexpected yet interesting read to my coffee table book selection... how's that for a "unique" anniversary present for my beloved bitter half, ya? heheh

Keep your curse from cupid© flowing, artists!

Your Photos on Postcards!

I'm plenty interested in this next bit: transforming any of my very own photos into postcards (or greeting cards, even) in time for spreading the season's holiday greetings! I've been dabbling in photography for a short while now and I got excited with the idea of sending out cards featuring some favorite pictures to family and friends. (sample image for a post card below):

While it's true that there are a lot of local traditional printers near my area, most of them will charge an arm and a leg to produce custom greeting and postcards for small-project clients as myself. So I decided to add "umph" to my personal supplier listing by looking for cost efficient yet professional printers who can partner with me throughout various creative processes.

If you search online for top quality, yet low cost (alternative to traditional) printing services, you'll find PS Print Printing -- a leading printing company that does business cards, stickers, custom postcards, greeting cards, posters and more. It's quite simple to set up a customized greeting/postcard at this site. It's as easy as selecting your product of choice, reviewing your order, uploading your files, previewing and approving the final study.

I've been recommending it to friends who plan on having wedding announcements, Christmas cards, and other event invites printed out (note that this is a great, cost-effective marketing solution as well) because this printing service's pricing, compared to most traditional printers, aren't as high, plus they have strict standards when it comes to quality control. They also boast of on-time delivery, expert mailing services and customized mailing lists, covering print, design, and mailing needs faster than your average printer. Visit the site now and find price cuts on some of their products being offered -- Post card printing is currently on sale!

That's unmatched online convenience for us hobbyists. It's an awesome way to turn holiday photos, travel shots, family and pet portraits, and nature shots to cool post cards or greeting cards.

To check out the quality of their products, order PS Print's free sample kit. It contains a variety of printed samples, a paper sample guide, and other helpful information you'll need to get started.

Expect a PS Print invite from me to Facaderato's first ever photography exhibit... coming soon! (when I have the budget, that is. heheh) ;-)
