Does anyone know the specs to use for PostCardPress wehn using Corel Draw. I did it before but they used to have it listed on their site I beleive. Now I only see Photoshop, Illustrator and Freehand.
Thanks.

Amy.........I haven't used PostCardPress since last year, but I remember sending them Corel files. I would call or email them to ask if they still accept Corel. You could always export your Corel file as an .ai or .eps file and send it that way. Just make sure to convert everything to curves before you do. Hope this helps.
oh yeah.........remove all outlines, too.

Amy, If you have photoshop,download their template for photoshop. In Corel, save it as an ai file, then when you open up photoshop, open up the template which has the bleed lines and all set up, go to place, hunt for your file, and place it into the existing template. When you do that, you can resize before placing it. All my card designs I do in illustrator and I open up photoshop with the template loaded, and I place each part and apply effects as I go. Thats the cool thing about using Illus. with photoshop. You can just click on the part you want to place, copy it, then paste it into photoshop. After Im done, I save it as a tiff file and send it out to them through their site. Ive done several recently, and they always do great work, and the file prints exactly as I sent it.

Thanks for the link... Postcard press is cheaper than psprint.com for business cards... but $30 more for 500qty 6x9 post cards. I've been using psprint.com for about a year and have been pretty happy with them.... it's nice to have another source for printed stuff... especially when it'll save $$$$

Check out gotprint.com. Click on "brokers join now." I have been very happy with them. 4/1 business cards are $35 for 1,000, $59 for 2,500. 4/4 are only $45 for 1,000 and $65 for 2,500
