I need a solution soon. A client desires postcards of/for their business. My pics of their Western ranch which they would sell to guests, I assume.

On my Zen site, Mpix sells everything under the sun, except postcards.
I've used Vistaprint for business cards, but I've heard their postcards suck.
I suppose I could sell them the image and have them get the printing arranged, but have a feeling they'd rather I took care of the details and sell them the finished cards.
I could work with a local offset printer, but worry the cost would keep me from making anything on it.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

I see that Mpix does offer postcards on their regular website.
Any one have experience with that, or a recommendation on card stock or size?

Overnightprints.com does a great job, but expect 1/3 of the orders to have a problem some how, but they are great with the reprint. ;)

Late last year, I ordered 1000 postcards from:

http://www.postcardpri​nting.com (external link)

They sent several sample promptly. The samples looked very good. Nice gloss coat finish. I used their on-site editor, ordered and received shipment like a week later. Plan to use them again. The prices are excellent. Also, any off-set cutting was minimal or nil. So the black border I put on my image before uploading is rather even on the finished project.

Suppose you ordered 2500, that would only cost $147.00 + $32 shipping.. 5000 are less than 4 cents each.

This is the front design of the ones I ordered.
