Digital BW, The Print

Hi folks,

For those of you who sell greeting cards featuring your photography, 
what's your preferred paper or supplier? Do you print your own (e.g. 
using Epson type inkjet cards) or is there a printing company you'd 
recommend? I'm in Toronto so I'm interested in Canadian printers or 
international ones which would ship to Canada at a reasonable cost. The 
ideal solution includes matching envelopes and a gift box to hold maybe 
10 cards with envelopes.

Thanks

Hi Mark -

Here at www.AAubreyBodine.com where we've been selling B&W notecards 
for 4 years, I did the first 48,000 note cards on four Epson 890 
desktop printers with CIS from NoMoreCarts using MediaStreet Plug-n-
Play inks.  Now that our volume has hit 80+ dozen a week, I'm in the 
final dance of outsourcing the printing to a local printer that has 
an HP Indigo printer.

I used Georgia Pacific's Cougar Cover card stock, 80#, cut 10"x7" 
(grain short) and matching A7 envelopes.  Cards were individually 
packed in clear peel-n-seal envelopes from clearbags.com.

My new cards done on the Indigo will be on ChromeCoat paper - Hi-
gloss and waterproof.

Good luck on your new card business.
