11″ x 17″ Postcard Stock

Today we released our new 11″ x 17″ Postcard stock on our website. This stock is perfect for customers with large printers that can handle the 11″ x 17″ stock- even better for customers that pay-per-print (see “Our Reason for Creating” below to learn more).

This stock is basically like our 2up or 4up postcard stock except doubled. Rather than having 4 postcards measuring 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″, we can fit 8 postcards measuring 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ on an 11″ x 17″ stock. We also retained the benefit of microperforation- eliminating the need to cut the stock after printing!

Our Reason for Creating This Product
About a year & a half ago, we purchased a Xerox DocuColor 242 printer. This printer prints on up to 13″ x 19″ stock. Rather than having to purchase toner for the printer, Xerox supplies it to us for “free”- we just pay a fixed amount per sheet printed. The catch with this is that it does not matter what size print we make or how much coverage we use, the printing cost will always be the same. One day, we were interested in printing on our 4up postcards on the 8 1/2″ x 11″ size. The 4up postcards are great because they do not require any cutting after- just print & break apart. We realized that if we had an 11″ x 17″ stock with the same type of postcard format, we would actually save half the money by printing 8 per sheet rather than 4. Thanks to Desktop Supplies, now you can save that money too!
