Printing Questions
I print my customs from kodakgallery.com and the first order was perfect, the most recent photos i printed were good but for some reason the were all off, not by much only about 1/10 of an inch or less on each side, but when making cards with borders they look very bad as i had to cut of part of it. If you have any idea of why this might be happening please LMK Thanks!
p.s. I know i am formatting them right (4x6, 300 dpi 2x5x3.5 ect.)

Photoprinter have to have some margins...

So most company let the roll a bit loose. So the paper move from side to side in the printer. I know it's crazy, but it was explain to me from several photo lab... I print more than 5 000 sport photo a year. I would say 2% of them as a white stripe on one side, since I found a good printer in Montréal, Qc... They do sport cards (two sided ones!!!), so you can have a custom back to... They don't ship, but if you want, i can print them for you guys and mail them after ward...

I would say they are 50% thinner than regular cards. The stock is more matte than glossy, but once printed, the toner makes it a bit more brilliant since it's laser printing. It's not like photo paper for sure... I use to make all my cards on photo paper than glue it to a card stock, then cutting it by hand, but since the volume, it's to time consuming...
