    These cards were produced to memorialize a year-long mastermind group that I was a part of. The quality, as well as the turnaround time and customer service, were all excellent. For the rest of my life, I’ll be a ‘Printing New York’:)

    For our wedding, we purchased postcard wedding invitations; the photo quality was excellent, and I appreciated being able to see the product before confirming the order. The only thing I want for is the ability to select a lower number of items. The smallest order was 250 postcards, and we are inviting 160 people. We’re not sure what we’ll do with the rest, but it was still less expensive than getting small envelopes with many postage stamps.

    Printing New York sent us our first order, which included 500 4×6 postcards printed on 14pt gloss cardstock. Using the online editor to create our postcard was simple. The template’s “trim line” and “safe zone” were really useful in ensuring that our material was placed exactly where we wanted it. All of my questions were swiftly and properly answered by the people on the live chat. We were a little nervous about the final product outcomes because it was our first time ordering from Printing New York; nonetheless, we were pleasantly delighted and impressed with what we received. Each postcard arrived in perfect condition, with no bleedovers, runs, ink stains, or other flaws. We elected to address our postcards by hand, and found that a fine tip sharpie was much easier to use than a ball point pen. The ink on the ballpoint pen smeared/smudged a little (when written by a left-hander). The sharpie’s fine tip dried almost instantly and did not smear or smudge. The 14pt gloss cardstock withstood postal delivery admirably. We’ll use Printing New York again without a doubt!
