Print Your Own Cards Starts at Just 78¢
That includes ink, paper, and envelope! Printing custom photo and art cards on your desktop printer is surprisingly affordable! If you are going to sell your cards, you have plenty of room to make a respectable profit. When you consider that store bought cards cost $4-$5 on average, printing your own just makes sense.
Ink usage estimates based on color photo prints on outside cover (max size for paper), text printed on outside back cover, and no printing on the inside of the card. More details below
