Easy Print, your online postcard printing
superstore. The home of cheap postcard printing.Want cheap postcard?
You've come to the right place. Want cheap looking postcard, look elsewhere! Why
pay more for your postcard? Use our unbelievably easy-to-use website to create
your own customised postcard printing quotation, in an instant. Simply click on
a size above to begin.
First, choose whether you'd like us to print your
postcards in stunning full colour or in black and white (remember, it's been
proven that full colour postcards achieve a much better response rate than their
black and white equivalents so a cheap mono postcard may prove to be a false
economy).
Next, select from an
extensive range of paper types and finishes, including our new range of recycled
papers (they're so good you wont believe they're recycled but they are, honest!)
Then decide the quantity you require and click on the relevant price. Finally,
decide whether you're going to upload your own artwork or take advantage of the
skill and experience of our designers via our fixed price, low cost artwork
and design services.
If you're not quite ready to order we'll email
your quote directly to your inbox. You can then amend your postcard printing
quote at any time or use it to place your order with one mouse click. Our highly
secure ordering system allows you to pay for your order using most popular debit
and credit cards.
What happens next?
Well, if you've chosen to take advantage
of our free printed proof offer we will post one out to you straight away via
First Class Royal Mail post. If you've opted for an on-screen (PDF) proof, we'll
email a proof to you for approval. Using our intuitive online proof feedback
system, you're able to approve your proof instantly (or let us know if you've
spotted any problems). Once we've got your approval to proceed we'll print and
deliver your postcard printing order within 3 working days. Deliveries take
place Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 5.30pm. A signature is required.
Supplying your own artwork?
We accept postcard printing
artwork in most popular Mac and PC file formats but please refer to our Artwork
Supply Guidelines before uploading your files to our site as your printed
postcards will only be as good as the artwork you provide. Also, please double
check your artwork for spelling errors, typos and other problems prior to
supplying it to us as subsequent changes may attract additional
charges.
Why not take advantage of the skills and experience of our
in-house postcard design team? They can help you improve response rates and
increase the effectiveness of your postcard printing campaign. Our fixed price,
low cost Artwork
and Design Services are a must for anyone wanting to squeeze the most from
their marketing spend. Select our Artwork Service during the ordering process
and receive a proof of your postcard direct to your inbox within 2 working days.
We will then amend the content of your postcard in response to your feedback
before a final printed proof is supplied to you for sign-off.
If you'd prefer to create your own postcard artwork there are a few
things you should consider:
Colours: Numerous studies have
shown that full colour postcards attract a far higher response rate than a
black-and-white equivalent. That's why we print all our postcards in full
colour. That said, if you want black-and-white simply select this during the
ordering process. By the way, we specialise in full colour printing and
therefore do not offer postcard printing in 'spot' colours. In other words, we
can either print your postcard in full colour OR black-and-white. So if you
don't want black-and-white then you may as well go to town... use as many
colours as you wish and include full colour photographs or illustrations.
There's no extra cost!
Resolution: Please be aware that a
photograph or other 'bitmap' image requires a resolution of just 72dpi (dots per
inch) for it to appear clear and sharp on a computer monitor. However, the same
image requires a resolution of 300dpi for it to appear sharp when printed
professionally. Therefore always check the resolution of your artwork. Just
because your design looks great on screen doesn't mean it will reproduce
correctly when printed. For further information about postcard printing and
artwork resolution visit Tom's Blog.
Layout: Always keep text and other
important elements of your design at least 3mm away from the edge of the
postcard. Although we use highly sophisticated printing equipment, some movement
is inherent within the printing process so if you place something too near to
the edge of your postcard it could be trimmed off.
Bleed: A
professional graphic designer will always add 'bleed' to their postcard artwork.
Bleed is the method designers use to ensure that the postcards they get back
from their printing company don't have ugly white borders around the edges. You
see, despite all the recent advances in printing technology some movement -
albeit only a fraction of a millimetre - still occurs during the postcard
printing process. To compensate for this movement, designers add bleed to their
artwork. They extend by around 4mm beyond the edge of their artwork, any design
elements they would like to touch the edge of the postcard. So for instance, if
you wanted to include a background colour which covered the entire area of your
postcard, you would extend this colour approx 4mm beyond each edge of your
postcard artwork. This means that any movement during printing will not result
in ugly white borders around the edge of your postcard. For further information
about bleed visit Tom's Blog.
