this essentially means that the actual save-the-date size will be 3.43'' x 1.93''

have you designed and set up the artwork yourself?

 

[firstbase32]

Yea I did all the designing myself...I’m worried that it looks fine now but when it''s put on that size of a magnet it may not look as good.... What do you think? They offer a sample to be sent for like $1.50 or something but it''s a .pdf file and if it''s the same thing as what I have now then it really does no good. Do you think the fonts will be legible and the pictures will still look nice?

Just print it out as the final size on your home printer. If you can read it fine, it will be good. Are you going through Vista Print?

 

[firstbase32]

yes i''m using vista print. Their website seemed to be the most user friendly site i''ve EVER found for something like this and their prices seem very good. Have you used them before?

 

[Tacori E-ring]

How funny! The $1.50/pdf sounded familiar to me! Yes, I have used Vista Print many times (never for magnets) but for business cards and printed folders. I am really impressed with their quality and prices. I thought about using them for our thank you cards but they don''t print on envelopes so I am using a local printer for them. You''ll have to let me know how the magnets turn out! I think the pdf is kind of useless. Just print them in their final size.

sweet...they seem to haev good deals..i''m a youth ministry major so whenever i graduate from college i''ll have to go through them to get my business cards.....they charge like $3.70 smoething for uploaded images...and we have 4 of them so that''s like an extra $14 or so..but no biggie...we''er talking 200 magnets for like $70...that''s not bad to me i don''t think

like tacori said, just print it out at the final size it will be and make sure it''s legible. for the pics, they are small so they should be fine. if you want to double check that the pics are 300 dpi, that would be good too.
