Putting the finishing touches to 2010 mailer campaign across 3 different target markets - can anyone recommend from experience a company that prints and mails postcards.

I've seen a bunch of different companies online and will be contacting them, but wanted to see if there have been any 'horror' stories or good stories about service and reliability.

Thanks for any input.
 
Steve,

First of all, Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you and your family...

I recall a service that was mentioned at the this year's Tampa RT... the name of the company escapes me at the moment, but they had first class looking samples and I do believe that they also mail them out on your behalf...

Perhaps Kory, or one of the other PWI members that attended the Tampa RT can chime in and help me with remembering this company...
 
I use http://www.gotprint.com for the printing side and a local company for the mailing side. In the end, I spend @ $.21/4x6 postcard. Printing, list, fee and postage combined.

Look at your local mailing houses. They will usually accept the shipment from your printer.

GotPrint was fast and inexpensive, but their fine print says the finished product may be darker than it looks on the screen and they weren't exaggerating.

Here's one we did with them a while back. You just need to use bright pictures:

The reason why they disclaim that is because lots of folks design thier stuff in RGB mode which is how a monitor mixes colors. The file sent to a printer should be designed in CMYK mode to give the printer the right mixing codes for true print colors.

My files always look funny on screen but perfect in print.

Try Corel draw... It has an enhanced mode so that the screen shot looks like the actual printed version will look like.
