New Prints Offerings Have Arrived!

Zazzle has added new product offerings (with more on the way) that any artist or photographer will be thrilled about!
Extreme Poster Makeover
We've added new paper options, standard and custom framing, and best-in-class product visualization, all featuring the quality that you've come to expect from Zazzle. Your designs will truly shine with our new archival paper and a custom frame with UV protection, creating an art piece designed to beautifully withstand the test of time!
Wrapped Canvas
Printed on 18mm heavyweight matte canvas and stretched onto 100% wood frames, your wrapped canvas print will have an artistic texture, finish and feel that is unmatched by any other printing process. We are offering 3 different widths, 7 standard sizes, and custom sizing options to showcase your best designs.
Professional Photographic Prints
Zazzle's new professional photographic prints are produced using a top-of-the-line Océ silver-halide process for quality that will appeal to any discerning professional photographer. We are offering sizes ranging from 4" x 6" all the way up to 40" x 60" with impeccable sharpness and image quality.
Great Time to Earn Referrals
We are running a 50% off Canvas, Photography and Posters promotion until 9/7, so now is a great time to spread the word and earn referrals! Read our guide on How to Earn Referrals, and you could see a dramatic increase in your earnings helping to build the buzz about our new product offerings!
Just on the Horizon
Soon, we will be adding Giclée Prints and Wall Stickers to our prints product line. Giclée has long been held as the gold standard for museum quality reproductions of art and photography. Using a wide color spectrum and fine droplets of ink at a resolution as high as 1800 dots per inch, Giclée is one of the most precise methods of reproducing fine art. Giclée prints will be perfect for artists and photographers who want to offer prints of their work without purchasing a large quantity upfront or storing inventory. Wall stickers are a great place for designers to create fun designs that can be stuck, peeled, and re-stuck to walls, ceilings, or even windows!

"What is MAXIMAPHILY?" by Nicos Rangos (Cyprus), former chairman of FIP [International Philatelic Federation] Maximaphily Commission. I give this link here for you to see and judge for YOURSELF the basics of the TRADITIONAL MAXIMAPHILY, as I call it. Because sometimes I cannot obey, or I don't want to obey, or I want to experiment, I say that NON-TRADITIONAL MAXIMAPHILY is FREESTYLE MAXIMAPHILY. You can follow any rule (including from TRADITIONAL), or MAKE YOUR OWN rules, or follow NO rule - whatever pleases you, IF 1) you don't want to exhibit in FIP expositions, or 2) you don't want to sell maxicards to strict traditionalists

"What is MAXIMAPHILY?" by Nicos Rangos (Cyprus), former chairman of  FIP [International Philatelic Federation] Maximaphily Commission.

Nicos Rangos is a world-class maximaphilist, both exhibitor (Gold Medallist) and passionate activist in this field. I wish there was a Nicos Rangos in every country in the world...:)

I give this link here for you to see and judge for YOURSELF the basics of the TRADITIONAL MAXIMAPHILY, as I call it.

Because sometimes I cannot obey some of those rules, or I don't want to obey, or I want to experiment, I say that NON-TRADITIONAL MAXIMAPHILY is FREESTYLE MAXIMAPHILY.
From my perspective, you can follow any rule (including from TRADITIONAL),
or MAKE YOUR OWN rules,
or follow NO rule - whatever pleases you,
IF 1) you don't want to exhibit in FIP expositions, 
or 2) you don't want to sell maxicards to strict traditionalists.


In my opinion, The BIGGEST SECRET (did I say Dirty Little?) of TRADITIONAL MAXIMAPHILY is that (apparently) YOU HAVE TO collect maximum cards AS IF you WILL DEFINITELY EXHIBIT THEM IN FIP COMPETITIONS, and AS IF you WILL SELL ONLY to strict traditionalist buyers.


For most of you, my fellow citizens of the world, those two assumptions above will simply NOT BE THE CASE.


By all estimates, there are now only tens or hundreds of traditional maximaphilists in each of the 50 or so countries members of FIP CfM.
Probably, YOU will only want to collect maxicards FOR YOUR OWN ENJOYMENT!


Most probably, you will NEVER GET INTERESTED IN MAXIMAPHILY whatsoever.:(
That is another discussion, which I'll detail some other time.
But I'll say this: most people, including me (for many years) have been discouraged because of the thought that they will NEVER be able to obtain such superb pictorial postmarks, and matching stamps and postcards.
Nobody was there to mentor them, to show them WHAT THEY STILL CAN DO, as possible.


My intention is to promote freestyle maximaphily, and YOU will be the one to decide what suits you - what rules, if any.

Philately (stamp collecting) in general, and maximaphily in particular, as a confluence of domains: learning, writing, web design, business administration, etc. 

Maximaphily (especially the non-traditional one) could become one of the coolest hobbies, because it is at the confluence of:
- philately (stamps collecting)
- deltiology (postcards collecting)
- marcophily (postmarks collecting)
- scrapbooking (collages collecting)
- mail art ("artistically-personalized mailpieces" collecting)
When I say "collecting", I mean "creating and collecting". :)

Top 30 Stamp Collecting Blogs, by guidetoartschools.com

"Dorincard: Blogger Dorin C is a stamp and postcard fanatic, and luckily he's more than pleased to write prolifically and charmingly about his obsession. He has a particular bent for stamps with wild mammals on them, but his blog demonstrates an affinity for stamps of all forms and backgrounds, as long as they offer a special narrative that's worth sharing with his readers.

    Comments:
    Postcards and stamps, mainly featuring mammals and birds but Dorincard also has other creations
    and interests he likes to share.
    His enthusiasm for Maximum cards (a postcard and a similar themed stamps sent through the
    postal system) shines through.
    He shows how he gets the right card, stamp and postmark together.
    Visiting his site you will also learn things about the natural world told with a dry sense of humour,
    possibly with a play on words, and a unique style of headings.
    Topical and informative both for the enthusiast and casual visitor.
