They are changing to an offset-printed product, printed directly on postcard stock. I’ve seen them and they look excellent.

They’ll cost a dollar more for a 4×6 but they sell 10 and 25-packs which are cheaper per card.

I sent an email to EZ Prints asking about this. Don’t think we want to offer them for sale until we understand this issue better.

So far, so good. Lots of detail in them. I have to do lots more testing to see how color, contrast, etc., compare to paper prints.

EZ Prints offers two options: rolled and stretched on a wooden frame. I can’t believe how much more they are when mounted on a frame… Almost three times the price. My inclination is to offer both.

It looks like our prices would be competitive with the likes of Shutterfly, whcc, etc. There are some discount photos-on-canvas places, but I dunno about quality…
