Here is a simple step by step instruction guide for printing your ePostcards in Paint. I have tested this out using many of my Postcard images on plain printing paper and I was amazed at the lovely quality I achieved, I can only imagine how great they would be on good quality card stock!
To print the larger sized ePrints, just follow the exact same steps as for the ePostcards except for the sizing at step 3, simply choose the size you need from the drop down list! You can also Print the larger sized ePrints on A4 paper and simply cut around the finished print. Another handy hint I have discovered is you can print the 4 x 6 ePostcards on A4 paper too and with some slight adjustments to the margins in the Page setup (see below), you can print on the right side of paper, then fold the paper in half which gives you a 'normal' card that you can add a message to on the inside. You could then add some glitter or embellishments to decorate and individualise your card further :-)
Add them to your parcels as a lovely Thankyou Card for your buyers or as a gorgeously simple Gift Card for friends and family.
Margin adjustments for printing 4 x 6 images on A4 size paper:
In page setup -> choose A4 size -> set Orientation to Landscape -> untick the centering boxes -> set margins to Left: 150, Right: 0, Top: 5, Bottom: 0 -> adjust the scaling to fit to 1 by 1 page(s) and save.

NOTE:
Make sure you have your printer preferences set to the type of paper you are using as the colours will not print well if for example you have your printer set to Plain paper and you are printing on Kodak Gloss Photo paper.
Learnt this lesson the hard way myself :-) !!
