    I had no choice but to order these cards out of desperation. I needed 150 photographs of two different images printed. Regular photo printing was going to cost almost $200. The photos had to be square. I remembered Printing New York while urgently seeking for a spot where I wouldn’t have to spend $200. I couldn’t believe how cheap the calculator predicted it would be. I went through it again and again. I didn’t realize how thick they’d be, anyway. I expected the.10 point to be light, but I didn’t expect it to be as light as a photograph. The graphics were created for a wedding invitation, therefore weight was an issue. Not only did they arrive two days early, but the weight and quality were excellent! I was overjoyed! My only reservation was that the shipping cost was a touch excessive. But we made the invites, and everything turned out great!

    My Save the Dates were printed on normal 4×6 postcards with a 16 pt thickness (matte) and our custom design turned out beautifully. The color and printing are excellent, and the final product is exactly to the digital draft. I’m very pleased with my purchase and would strongly recommend it!

    For my wedding invites, I bought postcards. They are of excellent quality. The design review process and rapid shipping were both excellent. It’s the second time I’ve been happy with a Printing New York order, and it won’t be the last!

    I’m a control freak who has been designing my own clothing for years using Printing New York. I made graduation announcements for #3 with my most recent order, and the enhanced matte finish was the ideal way to show off some fantastic graduating images.
