Anyone here that has advertised with postcards:
Can you recommend someone who can print a couple hundred one sided post cards in black and white?

Thanks!

I would suggest finding a local printer for just one-color work. It's usually much cheaper than getting it online. For color work check out the following guys:

www.sharpdots.com
Absolutely awesome quality, speed and reliability. I use them ALL the time.

www.postcardpress.com
Great quality, kinda slow turnaround but okay and can ship the postcards for you. They dont' do anything but thick cardstock though.

www.adcopring.com
Just found them but haven't tried them yet. Their prices for wholesalers is awesome though... call them to find out.

Two questions...

1) Why not print your postcards in COLOR?

2) Why not print them yourself?

I think Brandon's advice is right on the money and you could find someone local to do this rather inexpensively for you, but seriously, if you only want to do black on white you can print these for next to nothing yourself with a decent laserjet or inkjet that can handle cardstock.

I just got a package of 250 sheets of 110lb cardstock from Staples for about $12 that prints in my HP inkjet just fine, and it's easy to print two postcards on a page to yield 500 total postcards.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions!

That JakPrints place looks like something I would want to try; the prices looks really reasonable.

FYI, these cards are being printed for The Exit-Row Project.

I've also considered printing at home, but I think I would like to stick with a professional printer since I've never done it before.

Thanks again!
