Re: Postcards - you have a choice

[Guy Glorieux <guy.glorieux@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Michael,

Thanks for the kind offer. 

I'd be happy to get both versions.

I decided to print my postcards using my newly acquired Epson Stylus 3800 Pro.

I've used 4x6 Epson Premium Glossy Photo paper.

The picture is B&W sepia from a 35mm color negative, using CS2.

It'll be interesting to check the quality of the print after travelling through the postal system.

Regards,

Guy

Subject: Postcards - you have a choice

 

I'm about to start mailing mine.  I have prepared (or had prepared) two versions.

 

Version 1 is from a photoprocessing service

 

Version 2 is from a commercial printing service, in the form of printed postcard.

 

I have no commercial contact with either of the providers so I feel free to mention that the printer is Vistaprint which some of you may now as a very cheap resource for printed business cards (you can get 250 cards free, you pay only the postage costs).

 

I am happy to send everyone both copies, but, as many of you are professionals, it may be that the comparison of the two forms is of no interest to you (as you have been there, done it, got the t shirt) .

 

Would those who only want one copy please let me know their preference - thank you. Michael
