Printed Postcard images

user3 · 02-09-2006, 01:56 PM #1 (**permalink**)

I printed out a the MAC postcard images onto 4x6 photo paper. I still need to go back and trim the pics because I am going to put them in a frame and hang them in my office at home. I am not done printing the images but here is what I have so far.

Taking a pic of pics is not that easy and some images are not very clear in the photo I took of the pics. Either way I still wanted to share. A few people asked me how they looked printed and I must say I am really happy with it. If you do it at home just make sure you have a good color printer and that you let the pics full dry before touching them. Many of them have heavy black ink work.

Once I get them framed I will post pics.

Nice! I wanted to do something like that too since I know I won't be able to find all the ones I want. Where did you find all the pics (were they good enough quality)? or did you scan them? TIA

I found these frames on the ikea website

they're clip frames so they have no border and they're cheap the 4x6 are $.99 for a pack of 4, and the 5x7 are $2.99 for a pack of 4.
Here's the link.. http://www.ikea.com/webapp/wcs/store...05*15709*16288
I thought the postcards might look good in something like that.

Thanks for the link!
I'm not sure how I want to do the frames yet. Although what you posted would give a nice full wall effect.
I was thinking about using large frames and making a collage in a few frames.

I got the pics off of the Specktra's color stories section and off of Son Risa's site. I just a saved them and printed. A few from the Specktra's color stoies I had to go back sharpen in photoshop.
I will PM you with Risa's link.

that's how I frame my postcards

Though those clips can be a hassle- they pop out of the backing really easy.

Breath...ok exhale! LOL

Yup I just printed them out. I am almost done and I will have just about all of the images.
I actually like the ones I printed out more than the cards I have. They have a better quality of color to them.
The printing of them used up all the 4x6 photo paper that I had and the rest of my colored ink so I have to buy more. Once I get it all done and framed I will post the pics.
I am going to put my actual postcards in a frame too.
I am going to put them in big frames so I will have about 5-7 different collages. I was going to do the individual frames the V2lucky posted but the walls in my office all have items on them and I am not sure they look right like that in the room. I am going to have to wait to see once I have them all printed up.

Where did you find the place to print out all these pics? I would love to print them all out but I don't want to buy the actual poscards because I want to cut up diff. images for a collage thing I want to do. Please let me know the place where you found all these images to print! Thanks
