Tips for Printing Photo Christmas Cards
Photo Paper Works Best: For the richest colors and most professional results, print these photo cards on glossy or matte photo paper rather than regular cardstock.
High-Quality Print Settings: Always select "Best" or "Photo Quality" in your printer settings to ensure the beautiful photography reproduces well.
Test Print First: Print one card on regular paper to check positioning and text placement before using your good photo paper.
Consider Professional Printing: For large quantities or the absolute best quality, consider uploading the PDF to a local print shop or online photo printing service.
Ink Coverage: Photo cards use more ink than simple designs. Consider printing in smaller batches or budgeting for extra ink cartridges.
