Printing Style:
We offer a few different printing styles with our Holiday Cards. This will vary with each card style. You will find the following options across the different designs:
Digital - Our standard printing style for cards uses modern printing techniques and high-quality inks to print photos with vibrant, accurate color.
Color Picker Digital - This customizable printing option uses the same ink and technique as Digital printing but also allows you to choose any HEX-supported color. Offered at no additional charge, where applicable.
Heat-Pressed Foil - Our most premium photo card personalization option uses time-honored printing techniques to press real foil into your choice of thick photo paper to create debossed text that shines, with a textured feel. Available for an additional $0.50 per card.
You can sort through the options by filtering the greeting, number of photos you would like to display, printing style, card orientation, and card style.

How does the color picker work?
Some card designs (not all) include a color picker tool to customize the background colors of the card design. You can find a color you want with a color code finder or the Adobe Color Wheel. This visual tool gives you a quick hex code you can enter for any color you select from the spectrum. If you're on a Mac and want to match a color that's in your photo, the Digital Color Meter can help. Press command > space bar at the same time to bring up search, then search for 'digital color meter'. Once this is pulled up, hover over any color on your screen to get the red/blue/green values. You can then enter these into the color finder to get the hex code.
