An effort to make a difference
Printer Pack greeting cards: Are designed for you to print your own custom message on the inside of the card. An excellent way to show how much you care, using a custom photo card. Great for friends and family life update cards.
All of the greeting cards are printed in house using a Canon Prograf 1000.
Printed using archival grade pigmented inks, also from Canon. Often called Giclee inks by fine art galleries, pigmented inks are considerably more fade resistant than the more common dye inks.
The cards are printed on pre-scored, acid free, 60# (10mil, 229gsm) archival grade matte photo paper. The inside of the cards, left blank, are plain paper, capable accepting text and simple graphics from most any home computer that has a top load feed tray.
Cards may be ordered via the CausePhotography shop at Etsy.com or by using the contact us feature on this website and pre-pay using PayPal. The pre-scored 7 x 10 cards are shipped flat and fold to a standard 5 x 7 card. There are 8 cards to a Printer Pack. Printer Packs are available with the same image on each card or in the offered variety pack of four different images, (two of each). Included are white invitation style, square flap envelopes. Custom orders of four each from two of the offered images will be accepted.
A Word template is available free for anyone who doesn't want to go through the layout design process to print 7 x 10. It consists of two outlined text boxes, one for each flap of the card's interior. I'll post a picture of an interior printed card using the template in the Etsy.com CausePhotography store.
Prints Only : All print orders currently default to be printed on Canon Plus Semi-Gloss or Red River UltraPro Satin 4.0. Both papers are a high quality resin coated paper with a slight sheen. Matte papers for some print sizes are available to be used for printing should they be desired. Matte paper sizes currently available are 5.5 x 7, 8.5 x 11, 11 x 15, and 17 x 22. Red River 60 lb. Polar Matte paper is used for all the aforementioned sizes except 17 x 22, which is Canon Pro Premium Matte paper. Matte papers do have slightly better archival properties.
Should you desire matte paper and be ordering via the Esty website, please message me about wanting matte paper at the same time you place your order. If ordering via the contact page be sure to mention matte paper if this is your preference.
Archival grade pigmented inks are used on all of the various papers offered. The type of ink used is of much greater importance than the paper for long lasting color and print definition.
