first,abcphotolab in mystic connecticut is about as cheap as winkflash and TONS better quality and consistency. check them out - if you do a lot you can have an FTP site/account set up - a hell of a lot better than the crappy interface at winkflash.com.
as to cards, overnight prints is fantastic. I'm trying to work a deal with the local hospital to put gift cards and marketing material into every newborn mother's hands - about 100 births a month and no competition on this idea - so I need an affordable way to do this - I want foldable cards like hallmark or the like. Most all labs do them now a days, but at $1 to $1.50 per, well, not economical until i know how this will pay off.
Overnight prints has 500 cards for like $90 and the other things i've had printed there are fantastic, great customer service, and no goofy hidden fees or charges.
I ordered 10 as a test to see the quality and to take a sample to the hospital admin folks. Ordered thursday and in my hands on monday! i ordered 10 and got 14 even.
It's thicker than photopaper (post cards or greeting cards) and the color is great - dead on.
I don't see a 5x7 item, but the large postcards (5 1/2 x 8 1/2) might work - 500 single sided is $74.95 (250 is $69.95)
