Photo Postcard Printing

Photo Postcard Printing

Photographs can add unique elements to postcards that are not available with other artwork. They can show products in a more realistic fashion. A cartoonish portrait of a product such as a car, electronic gadget, or vacation destination is typically not a good idea because the recipient does not get an accurate enough visual description. With photo postcard printing from PrintFirm, you get quality results at a low price.

Direct mail marketing for postcards is a good way to use photo postcard printing. You can obtain a mailing list from a reputable broker or send an email with your list requirements to mailinglist@printfirm.com and we will obtain a targeted mailing list for you. Be certain to include your demographic and geographic requirements.

It’s important to use professional photos for your postcard design. You can use quality stock images or hire a professional photographer to shoot your desired items. It’s also possible that someone in your organization is skilled enough at photography, and you might be able to save time and money by using an in-house photographer. High resolution photos are recommended for photo postcard printing. Your photos should have a resolution of at least 300 DPI (dots per inch). Even though lower resolution photos may look fine on your computer screen, the printed result will be a fuzzy mess.

While it can be helpful to make a photo large enough to be clearly visible on a postcard, it is not a good idea to make the photo so large that it overpowers the text or clutters the design. A cluttered design generally appears unprofessional and won’t attract as much attention as a streamlined design.

Before proceeding with photo postcard printing and uploading the graphic file to PrintFirm, we recommend that you convert any photos that are in the RBG format to the CMYK format that our offset printing equipment uses. This will greatly minimize the possibility of printed colors that are not true enough to the original photograph. If you do not want to design the postcard, you can select the custom design option when you place an order and PrintFirm’s team of talented graphic artists will create a design for you.

Photos of vacation destinations are a popular subject for postcards. Try to get photos that make the destination appear exciting. For example, a picture of scuba diving in crystal clear water would be a much better choice than in murky or cloudy water. A bland or boring travel photo is unlikely to attract enough attention.
