After ALL information is received through email, we will work on your card. You will receive a draft of your card when it is complete. You will then approve the card or request further changes. The first draft is usually ready within 48 hours of you sending all of the required information. Any revisions are normally completed within 24 hours of receipt of revision request. Once the card is approved by you, then you will receive the printable copy of the card. NOTE: We normally can get your card exactly how you want it in 1 or 2 revisions. However, we will allow a maximum of 3 revisions if necessary (only ever had to do this one time). Each additional revision can be performed at a pre-paid cost of $5 per revision. Please realize that each revision can take 1 full business day. We will leave you happy, but please try to provide as much detail and information as possible at each revision to avoid going to the maximum.

9. Hit .Upload. button and wait until the Uploading Images pop up disappears.
10. From this point, follow the directions to order the prints, make sure you order 4X6 and that you order the number of prints that you want to receive.

Normally I choose glossy and no border, but that is my preference. When you are printing it and it asks you what printing you want on the back, we'd really appreciate if you can put PhotoCardQueen.com Enjoy!
