greetings cardsI'm investigating producing some of my recent linocut prints as greetings cards and wondered if anyone could recommend a good quality print company who's willing to put a bit of effort into the job, as it's going to be critical for me that the colours are accurate.I used to use Abacus, based in the Lakes but wouldn't mind a few others to compare prices/quality with.

I suppose it's a possibility. D'you think they'd be up to it? Or were you just winding me up? 
I was thinking perhaps more of someone who specialised in cards. EV |

Probs a card specialist would be best, but if you can't find one they might be able to help. A visit and a chat with them would be essential though.

Print the cards that we sell in The Plough. No idea if they'd be interested but there are contact details on their website. |

will ask mum who does her's they are exact copies of her paintings as she does botanically correct so the colour has to be exact.
I know the guy does prints, cards etc and the cards come with envelopes and in cellophane. will let you know. |

Have you thought of printing them yourself, small Adana hand presses come up on Ebay often and sell for very little. You can't really beat the look of a hand printed card, IMHO 
I print cards using woodcut blocks on an old Heidelberg 10 x 15 platen press. Bit of a busmans holiday for me, as for my 'day job' I'm a Litho printer ! Just trying to keep the letterpress skills alive
