If I this was not such a very short run I would do this. But my idea was
just to print up about 50 cards to get to people who probably didn't get
the main announcement sent out by the institution organizing the show
and who would mainly be interested in my work. I will experiment with
some of the suggestions given in the future (thanks to all!) but have to
admit that when I did a test of the cards on epson photo paper I was so
happy with the results that I decided to go with that alternative,
sticking the cards in a first-class envelope. At 3 cards to a letter
sized page, and much less coverage than a 8x10 print, it will be cheap
enough and the quality is quite good. Conceptually, I like the idea that
the card contains three mini-prints made in the same medium as the
originals (this is a non-commercial show at a public institution so the
non-archival quality of the work isn't a major factor).

Thanks again for all the suggestions.
