Based on WN3R's review here I decided to give vistaprint a shot and boy was I ever pleased. They are not an amateur radio QSL print house but rather a printing company that offers a variety of printed products. Their postcards (QSLs) are not for everyone. There are no "amateur radio" QSL templates to add your call and address to and be done with it but you must design your QSL on both sides from top to bottom. This means you must know a little about photoshop or some other photo editing program in order to design your card and gives you total artistic freedom to do what you want. On the front I went with a full color photo I took while on the Chesapeake Bay and photoshoped my callsign and other info on the card. See here:

On the back I had to design the QSO grid, etc.

You upload the file to Vistaprint, pay and wait. My total price for 1500 full color photo QSLs was under $100 (they had a sale at the time and normal price would of been around $135 I think).
The downside... As mentioned in the review above the cards are not your typical 3 x 5 postcard but more of a Euro size QSL (5.47" x 4.21"). Regardless, I am very pleased with the card and would buy from them again.

When looking for QSL card printers, I found the prices to be too high. I found this company where the quality was very very high and the prices so very low. I received 1500 cards for $95.56 delivered. I simply took a high quality photograph and added text to it in some clear space. For the info/address side I simply added text to a blank .jgp file in my photo program. These are full size post cards which means they are not as small as the 3.5 x 5.5 standard QSL card. This means your card will surely be the center of attention. To give you an indication of their quality, they want you to upload LARGE (> 5MB) files.
