Printing Compcards

Fuzzytek

I work with a lot of people that are looking for compcards. I would think many other photographers using SmugMug are doing the same.

I know I can sell bundled cards printed by another service provider. Perhaps I'll make more money doing it that way. I'm just wondering if SmugMug might consider offering printing of two images back to back on cardstock with a durable finish as appropriate for a comp card. Full bleed edges would be desired.

This would offer my customers a fantastic way to order their compcards with a customized quantity.

There are a lot of other print services, such as creating calendars, menus, brochures, and even magazines that are possible. How far is SmugMug willing to go with print services?

Hi, and thanks for posting

We just don't have that printing capabilty, I wish we did! I actually use 4over.com for my comp cards, and also for the insert we put into SmugMug print orders. They're really good.

We are looking at doing photobooks, greeting cards, and calendars - we don't have a promise on if/when, but it's something we're looking hard at right now.

Thanks

Yippie!!! Thanks for sharing the info Andy. I know no promise's but that your looking 'hard' at it... yeah!

(BTW: comp cards would be great too if ever it's possible.)

I'm sorry, nothing new to report on the compcards at this time... I wish I had a different answer for you.

When I head to that url, it forwards me to:

http://pricelist.4over.com/login.asp

... and then it won't let me view contact info or company info or samples without registering. Yeah, yeah, I'm sure registering is free, but like the rest of the world, the absolute last thing I need is yet another 'account' on the web to remember login info-- especially when all I wanted to do was check out their services and pricing. :cry
