I can see the logic of tying in with a company already processing images, though.<br /><br />Royal Mail's website is back, but shaky.

First class stamps (of both designs) were available in sheets of 10 or 20, second class in sheets of 20 only. Stamps with the airmail rates were not available.<br /><br />However, the more interesting fact is that production of these sheets has now been outsourced completely to Snapfish (www.snapfish.co.uk), a company that print paper copies of digital photographs and produce very tasteful personalised products, like mugs and greetings cards, using your own photos. Ordering is done through Snapfish, including payment and delivery: it looks like Royal Mail have withdrawn from this market now.Alan Whiteleynoreply@blogger.com
