If you live anywhere near Mountain View, I HIGHLY recommend 4printings on El Camino (http://www.yelp.com/biz/4printings-mountain-view ), at least for 11x17s.
I got my 11x17 prints done there and the quality was AMAZING. Crisp lines and very accurate colors. They were only 60 cents each!

I haven't had anything else printed there, though. Their website is really crappy though, so you should just call them for other prices :s

For keychains (and anything else I plan to laminate) I use Winkflash.com. SUPER CHEAP (6 cents for a 4x6, I just cram as many keychains on there as I can) and since I'm laminating everything, texture doesn't matter. Just be sure to uncheck the Auto-correct option before you order them, or else they'll adjust your colors all by themselves.

For my business cards, I'm going to be using Vistaprint. They haven't arrived yet though, so I can't report on quality there :/

Hope that helps!

I'm not that close to Mountain View, but for 60 cents, I'll definitely check them out!
As for the winkflash.com thing, that sounds really great. I think I'll stop by their site soon.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate the help.

I'm sure it was covered already somewhere, but my brain's a little fried, so:

How many copies of each print to you guys tend to order?
I've heard a few suggestions of 5 copies of each print to start with. What do you think?

(Also, for those of you who have tried Catprint: how's their shipping estimates for accuracy? I'm thinking of doing the 7 Day Service to save on time, which estimates an arrival on the 21st, but that might be cutting it a little too close for comfort if their estimate is off.)

Great! Thanks so much. I'll go take a look and try to un-earth some answers, haha.

Hey all!

This will be my first time selling physical prints, so I was a bit curious as to where the rest of you guys get your prints done, or how you do yours if you don't get them done at a printer company. I'm looking into a couple of places, but if you guys have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them! And I'm sure others are curious, as well.

I look forward to seeing you at the Alley!
