Innovation in Shoreditch: Inkly Release Handwritten Greetings Cards App

Inkly Release Handwritten Greetings Cards App For iPhone All you need is a pen, paper and the free Inkly iPhone app available now on the AppStore! Launched in October 2012, Inkly allows you to easily and conveniently send a real printed greetings card to anywhere in the world straight from your mobile.

Unlike many other online greetings card services where you can only add a typed message, Inkly is the first and only service that allows you to add your very own handwritten message to the inside of the card. Finally putting an end to sterile typed online cards, trawling through card shops, buying and licking stamps and hunting for post boxes.

How does it work?

1. Choose a card from the hundreds of unique crowdsourced innovative designs in the Inkly app.
2. Write your message on a piece of paper and photograph it with your iPhone.
3. Let the Inkly app magically remove the paper and take just your handwriting and place it on the inside of the card.
4. Enter the name and address of the intended recipient.
5. Pay just £2.99 (plus first class postage from £0.49) and your handwritten card is printed and posted to anywhere in the world.

But does the card really look for real?

Inkly uses advanced patent pending image processing and extraction techniques to make sure the handwritten message looks exactly as you wrote it. It is so accurate that the recipient won’t even know the handwritten message is printed. Combined with industry leading printing presses and card stock, Inkly cards are printed to the highest possible quality every time.

Crowdsourced card designs – supporting the creative community

All of the cards available on Inkly are designed by independent artists, designers and publishers from all over the world. With over 500 card designs Inkly has an amazing selection of cards including many that you won’t find anywhere else and they are adding hundreds of new designs every month. Every time you purchase a card a percentage of the sale is given to the artist who created the design. It’s your way of saying thank you and keep up the good work!
