I've started getting asked to produce postcards. I can use my Canon to print them but just wondered if anyone had any reputable suppliers?
I see loads on the internet, most appear to be matte but I think customers may want glossy one side matte the other.
No idea what to charge for these so appreciate any pointers please.

I'd be worried about colour-fastness if using dye inks. Canons seem to do well with thick card though so at least that shouldn't be a problem.

Looks interesting, more expensive than options I've seen but reverse pre-printed and photo quality front would make these really good thank you.

Some of my customers tell me good things about these guys...

All I can see is a company that has joined the race to the bottom of the price ladder...

Helloprint we have used lots in the past but they just a middle man. I think they are based in Amsterdam (can’t be bothered to check) but they subcontract to UK based printers. Quality is therefore very good on brochures we have had done and very fast. For postcards we always use printed.com though
