This is the front of the postcard I designed to promote my gifts and novelties store.
This is the back.
I designed the postcard using Microsoft Publisher. It was pretty clean and easy. I have some postcard stock with four cards to a sheet. I decided to try and print it. I did everything I was supposed to. But no matter what I did, it turned out wrong and like crap. Unless you are printing leaflets or business cards from Publisher, its printing capacities straight up blow.
I decided to roll with Vista Print, who I've used in the past. They're quite affordable and do a good job. I uploaded my designs to their system and for $25 I can have 100 sharp-looking business cards. Not bad, and really worth the money considering the fact that I wasted about three hours of my time trying to get them to print from Publisher!
Time is money--and I was sick of wasting my time and my dime looking like a clown swearing at my printer!
This adventure in the world of advertising and promotion is brought to you by my gift store!

I'm surprised you had so much trouble. We have printed a lot of stuff, including photos onto photo-gloss paper, just using our computer and printer, and it's turned out fine.
Weirdso, I think this is what I get for buying cheap printers. I can print decent business cards and flyers on this printer but anything that is a bit unusual, it has a big hissy fit. I think the software is corrupted. I'm going to have to deinstall and reinstall it. What a pain in the butt!
