Quick question!
Situation: I'm interested in trying my hand at making some digital con badges. My skill at real media still really sucks, so I'd almost feel bad charging any money for those. Thus, I'd prefer to stick to digital, if possible.
Problem: I would like to be able to print these badges and mail them along with their badge holder to the people who commission them. However, my printer sucks even more than my real media skills. Therefore, I would like to print them using some sort of service. However, none that I've found will specifically print them in 3x4", the size my badges will be. How do I solve this?
Do I print them out with a lot of white around them and try to cut them down to the right size? Is there a place that can print things for me at the exact size I need (I've looked and had trouble finding any)? Should I just do the badges and expect the commissioner to figure out how to get them printed (I'm too nice, though.
)? Should I resort to just using my fugly real media skills? What should I do, those of you who have experience with this?- - - - - - - - - -

The more I think about it, the more I'm considering just getting a home printer that'll do what I need, at least regarding prints. The only thing I'm a little iffy about is the price for ink that will surely add up quickly. ;__; Do you know of any sites that sell printer ink for a reasonable/low price?
For badges, I've been experimenting a bit with the Kodak printer at the Target where I work and can make some pretty nice glossy badge prints there. All I've had to do is be sure to resize it correctly before I bring over the digital file and then use a paper cutter to trim it to the size I need. And hey, you can't beat 29 cents each (well, unless it's free, I guess)!
