Cheap bow cards!!!

I thought this was a great idea, so I laid some things out in Photoshop, and ordered online to Walgreens to print them out. But when I went to get them, they were horrible!!!!! It looked like they had tried to print 5x7 size on 4x6 paper. They were cut off all the way around! I complained, and the girl working there told me that their 4x6 sizes are usually cut off on at least two sides.

Does anyone know who can actually print what you lay out?

I'm going to order some like this tonight, but I had a thought about how to make it sturdier. If you get some double sided tape (or glue, if you wanted) you could put card stock behind the photo to sturdy it up some.

I hate that! I really hate when the color is like 150 times different. I usually order just 1 or 2 prints so I can proof them. My Walgreens does good and my Walmart kills everything. I think you just have to keep trying.
Most stores will usually take back poorly printed photos and give you credit. Ask your Walgreens to do that. Good Luck!

Oh, and make sure you make them on a 4x6 template. =)

I wonder if there is a finish option for their photos? Can you do a matte finish?

If you have them mailed to you instead of pickup you can get matte. HTH!
