Hello everyone! my name is Wendy Kendrix and I am brand new to craft shows. I am in need of a program to print my original art to greeting and note cards. Does anyone have anything to help?
Printing on card stock can be difficult for most printers. and I suggest Epson printers as they seem to hold up better than all the rest. I use publisher for printing, it is a bit old school, but once you have the template in place all you have to do is change the art work. as for printing prints, it depends on what you want. if you want to do fine art reproduction prints, then you will need to find a printer that can use color rated inks. most off the shelf printers use a lower quality of ink that is not as light fast.
I print my own using iPhoto or Elements. You need a decent printer, though, not a $99 job from a big box store. I use an Epson 1400 and it works really well. Ink is pricey, but you get a lot of cards from that pack of ink :)

good concept! Thanks!
good lluck.... keep cool and be positive. it is not always about the sale to day but developing clients for the future purchases.
My first show is July 4th I'm a little nervous!
Ok thank you very much.
