Can anyone tell me a good online printing service they can recommend for me? I am trying to create a pocket reference study notes out of 4x6 cards and i was looking for a good online printing service that can handle the job. I went to my local Office depot and they just didnt seem to want to help so i am looking to do this online.

Of the big names, I've been reasonably happy with Moo.com

I am in the US, it does not have to be professional quality this is just for personal use really. I am creating study cards out of 4x6 cards.

4x6 is an odd size to print.  This sounds like a one-off single copy job and you might have better luck if you set it up as two cards per page on letter size paper and cut them apart yourself. Any local copy shop should be able to handle that.

My point is if you set this up so it prints on a standard size sheet, then cut it and assemble yourself, you'll have a much easier time getting it printed.

4x6 is a common trim size with postcard printers. There’s also Vista print, quality isn’t quite as good as Moo, but they are considerably cheaper with more size options:

Will VistaPrint do a run of say 30 pages all different, one copy each page? I'm not sure they're set up for that.

 

As far as changing the layout, you can place the current pages, either native .indd or PDF into a new file they same way you place any image.

I missed the 1 copy part.

 

If it’s one copy why print? Maybe export a PDF or Publish Online and use a phone to reference the study guide?

Does it have to be online? I don't know what's it like in the US. But Office Depot sounds like a big company.

Have you contacted any local printing services in your area.

Sorry, just trying to understand a little more.
