| Printing custom greeting cards online has its share of risks and dangers. There is the danger of glitches in your transactions online. Your greeting cards might not translate well once you send them to the printer. You might even accidentally get sent to a phishing site that will steal your credit card information.While in most cases, this should not happen, it is better to be safe than sorry when it comes to online transactions, especially if you are new to such things as online printing of greeting cards. In this article, I will help you be safe and take care as you print your greeting cards online. Here are the important tips that you should remember to be safe in most of your online transactions.1. Think carefully before you click – First, you will want to have a very specific mindset where you must always think carefully before you click. Many of us are now so familiar and engrossed in computers that quick pop-ups and notifications illicit a clicking impulse that either causes us to click on the “X” button to close windows or of course to click “OK”. Normally this is good, but in online transactions, you should never click on “OK” quickly. Always remember to read what you see online, especially when you are initiating that order for online greeting card printing. Read everything that you can to always make sure that you are really paying for what you want and NOT get any hidden charges or even get scammed. So remember, always think before you click.2. Research first before you hire/buy – Another philosophy you should adhere to if you want to be safe in printing greeting cards online is for you to always research first before you hire that online printer. While they might have the greatest advertisements and the best visibility on your local sites, it is important for you to still know exactly how other people have worked with them. By getting real opinions from forums, blogs and actual friends who have hired those online printers in the past, you can get real social proof that that online printer is reliable, skilled and of course safe.3. Be aware of what is in your browser – Now, you should also be careful and try to be aware of what is in your browser as you make your online greeting card printing transactions. Today, there are many types of scams online, and one of them involves posting fake websites that steal credit card information. To help you avoid from being scammed like that, you should always take a look in your browser, especially in the URL address bar. Make sure that the website listed there is exactly the online printer that you are hiring (i.e. www.myonlineprinter.com). If it is not, and it says something totally different such as numbers (i.e. 192.168.222.22) or something really odd and not connected to the firm you are hiring, then there is a big chance it is a fake website. So always be careful and look at what is in your browser. By being smart in browsing you can be safe with your printing as well.4. Go for trusted payment methods – Now, once you are ready to pay for online greeting card printing, you must try to be smart about your payment method. Online greeting card printing companies will typically let you choose how to pay. Most of course will prefer credit card, but it is best to go for more trusted methods if you can. Paypal for example is a great service to help you secure your online transactions. You might want to go that route so that your credit card information is safer. Beyond that, if it is available, Cash On Delivery options is also a great choice since you will not pay until you get your greeting cards. Use these methods, or others that you totally trust to make sure your online printing is safe and secure.5. Review all the requirements for printing – Lastly, before sending your greeting card designs for printing, you should try to be safe about your transmission and review all the requirements. Besides the document file of the design, you might want to send high resolution image files as well as font files, plug-in files and other support files. This should help the online printer accurately recreate the design on their end and print the greeting card exactly as you pictured it. Make sure you send everything you can, and review all items of course before sending those designs. So that is how you can be totally safe with online greeting card printing. From the printer, to the transactions to your designs, everything should be secure, accurate and safe if you follow all the items above.
