MPix alternative for specialty prints??	Can't Post

Any recommendations for a printer to do custom designed specialty prints (Memory Mates, Trading Cards, etc.) for kids group sports/activities? As far as I can tell, MPix forces you to use their stock designs, which I'm not exactly thrilled with. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated, as I really don't know where to turn for this and would like to produce something unique / not stock.

If I'm missing something and there's a way to do it with MPix, I'd be thrilled to learn how. Smile

Thanks again.

Eppie

I have a client in 5 minutes ... but do a google search on memory mates. I'm sure there are plenty others out there that carry them. I don't do sports, so while I do know what memory mates are ... I have no other sources to suggest.

I used MPIX (ROES) and I really liked the ease of dropping & cropping the pictures into their Memory Mates....
Sure their layouts/templates aren't jaw dropping, but if your Team Shot & Individual Shot are good then you won't need a flashy Memory Mate to make it look good. I made my own "custom" Memory Mates in Photoshop and it was unique. For me, it's not worth the time, when you can speed through team photos with MPIX's own templates.

Big hits are the magazine covers & the tickets.... parents love them. I just added them to my order sheet and had very positive feedback on them (don't forget the 3"buttons... another parent favorite)
