Anyone ordered them, and know if you choose glossy if only the front side will be glossy or if both front and back will be? Thanks in advance.

there was a thread about this not too long ago. i have ordered them and had NO issues at all. they were glossy and double sidded. However apparently there were people on the forum who have had problems with them and have a more cost effective approach.

I tried yesterday...really did. Downloaded their software, installed it, darn thing wouldn't load any of my images. After three attempts and 30 minutes, I gave up and ordered from overnightprints.com.

I ordered some form them on the linen paper. I feel that the quality is not as I hoped for, they are a little thin and the clarity is not so great.

I used overnight prints and I was very impressed with the thickness of the cards..in fact I put one in my butt pocket for the day..and it wasn't bent at the end of the day..I'd say it passed the test!!!

I used to use minicomps but after the good reviews of overnightprints onthe forum I tried them and got the uv coating on both sides, they are just as good and a lot less $$$.

It's a glossy coating, makes the card thicker as well and the pictures look better. You should get it on both sides, your card will be so thick and nice.
