How to create a Postcard

Detailed steps to place your postcard order:

1. Go to http://www.mpix.com/MpixPress/ 

 2. Download the MpixPRESS software - if you have not already done so.

 

3. Once the software has been downloaded to your computer you are ready to begin.

4. Simply drag and drop the 4.25x5.75 image into the software layout. NOTICE: Please disregard the red line within the software

Original file created in Photoshop. NOTICE: Text must be a minimum of 1/4" from the edge of the image

5. The re-size to fill page button must be selected to correctly fill the entire template.

6. Click the Order with MpixPRESS button 

7. The image will upload and give you a proofing PDF file option. NOTICE: Please make sure to double check the proof. The black marks on each edge will indicate where the card is trimmed. Also, make sure the image fills the white bleed area.

 

Here is an example of a file that is incorrectly sized. This will happen when the re-size to fill page option is not used.

8. Once the FTP upload has completed you will be directed to an Mpix.com login page where your items will be placed in your Mpix Press shopping cart. Click the red 'checkout' button, enter your billing information and your order will be shipped shortly.
