On January 19, 2012 Eastman Kodak filed for bankruptcy. Although you’ve probably heard it elsewhere, we wanted you to know that Kodak’s bankruptcy WILL NOT have any impact on our ability to provide you, our clients, with any of the products and services you’ve come to expect from JD Photo Imaging.

We’re proud to be a Kodak lab and proud of their products.

Custom iPhone covers with your pro images are a great new product for you or your clients.

Unique and durable, these iPhone 4 cases protect phones with style. Create an image from your photography, designs or text using our easy Photoshop templates, then order it in ROES.

These iPhone 4 cases will be an amazing gift for any iPhone 4 owner. They are compatible with both the Verizon and AT&T models of the iPhone 4. In fact, our custom iPhone 4 cases offers the perfect fit for any carrier!

Each cover is vibrantly printed on durable metal, then affixed to a raised black poly frame that protects the edges of the phone.

Covers are $14.99 each. Similar covers sold online retail for $35-40 each.

JD Photo Imaging is co-sponsoring the PhotoPro Expo February 2-5 in Greater Cincinnati, Ohio (just across the river. The expo includes 16 of the best pro photographer speakers in the country, as well as the largest trade show in the midwest this year.

Rarely does a photographic educational opportunity this exciting (and in our backyard!) ever happen. We feel it is so important, in fact, that we’ve decided to become a co-sponsor of this event. Do to our sponsorship, we are able to offer you a discount coupon worth $120 savings to attend all sessions and free 1-day expo passes.

The 16-speaker line up is, in our opinion, the best of any convention for 2012.  It includes Photoshop guru Scott Kelby, wedding photographer Jerry Ghionis, Pulitzer Prize winning legend Vincent LaForet, marketing genius Sarah Petty, high school senior shooter phenom Kirk Voclain, and NYC fashion photographer Lindsey Adler. Read about each speaker.

An important note for our ImageQuix clients:

Starting Jan 1st, ImageQuix will send you a check for the full amount paid for online orders minus ImageQuix processing fees. Therefore, JD Lab will need to charge your credit card we keep on file for printing and shipping.

This is not a price increase. Your service will not change. JD will continue to drop ship orders to your end customer. However, this change will simplify your accounting by keeping all your lab printing costs on one monthly statement.

If you have any questions, please call us at 888-858-8084 toll free, or email us.

You’ve told us that your clients don’t order as many holiday cards as they used to. Therefore, we’ve adjusted our order quantities for flat cards, designer cards, and folded greeting cards. This includes graduation, thank you, holiday or any special occasion cards (does not include slimline cards). See MyDigitalProductsOnline.com for all our card designs.

You can now order cards in sets of 4 in ROES. This means you can order as few as 4 cards!

Although we’ve lowered our minimum order, we haven’t raised our prices. In fact, the price for 24 cards will remain the same, and for larger quantities, in many cases our prices are even lower than before!

We’re confident this change will make it easier – and more profitable – for you to offer folded greeting cards to your clients.

Note that slimline card printed on Kodak paper were not included due to their already low price per card.

Just in time for the holidays! Our new Designer Cards are perfect for holiday, seniors, new birth or wedding announcements. You can leave the back side plain, use a pattern, or create your own text image in Photoshop to provide a holiday greeting or directions to an event.

Why offer Designer cards? Simply because they get noticed! These 5×7″ cards are sure to be stuck to a refrigerator as an event reminder, or they will stand out when placed along side other holiday cards.

Designer cards are available in sets of 24 cards with envelopes. Each set is $28.50 for standard paper. Coating, pearl or linen paper is $3.50 extra per set.

Designer cards are available in ROES under Press Printed > Cards > Double Sided.

Michael Timmons will teach you how to enhance your images on Monday, Sept. 26 from 10am until 4pm in the JD training center. The program is sponsored by the Professional Photographers of Michigan and JD Photo Imaging.

During this day long program, Michael will share with you all of his tips and tricks to create stunning, award winning images. This day will be devoted to exploring the Nik software interface and unleashing the power that lies within.

Our Coin Envelope/Flyers for Sports and Undergrads have changed for the 2011-2012 season. If you use these envelopes, you should change your layouts now.

The previous envelopes included a 3” coin envelope tear-off at the bottom. The new stock this year will include a 5” envelope tear-off for sports, and a 6” envelope tear-off for Undergrads. All envelope/flyers will still be 14″ tall by 8 1/2″ wide.

Download 5″ JPG template. Download 6″ JPG template.

This change was in response to your suggestions that we increase the size of the envelopes so you could get all of the necessary information on them.

We are now stocking only the new sizes.

We do have some small remaining stock of 3” Undergrad envelopes in various sizes for those of you looking to print your flyers without making this change. We have NO sports 3” in stock.

Use the above image as a reference when laying out your new flyers. If you have any questions or problems with the new layouts, contact Heidi Horton at 888-858-8084 or heidi@jdlab.com and she will be happy to assist you.
