Pulp-O-Mizer Feedback & Trouble Shooting
If you have feedback or problems with the Pulp-O-Mizer you can add them to the comments on this post. Note that off-topic comments are likely to be deleted, even if they’re brilliant.
A few notes to get you started:
When you just want to combine images to get something that you like it’s a good idea to turn all the Text Areas off. That’s why I put the On/Off buttons right in the title bar for each Text Area: you can turn them off even when the menu’s been minimized.
Look at the Presets! They’re there to give you illustrated examples of things you can do.
If you run into trouble (especially when you try to make a Pulp-O-Mized product) your first step should be to look at the manual at the bottom of the Pulp-O-Mizer page. The “Browser Compatibility” and “Trouble Shooting” chapters are especially useful.
Although it’s explained in the Users’ Guide I will mention here again that Pulp-O-Mizer images are not available for use in commercial products (like books, eBooks, or tea cozies). In any case the images you render from the Pulp-O-Mizer page are too low in resolution to be suitable for that kind of thing.

Okay, well THIS is just my favorite thing ever in the whole universe since the beginning of time…
As a huge fan of the pulp magazine art form, (and of you, Brad) I have gotten from this gizmo a mega-jolt of raw enjoyment… Not sure I’m going to recover right away, in fact.
I think I’m going to be using this thing a LOT…

PLEASE tell me we can get these wonderful covers printed on t-shirts!!!???? I would LOVE it!
Please? Pretty please?
January 25th, 2013 at 1:30 pm
There are some technical issues with putting these images on shirts, unfortunately. I’m not sure when (or if) those issues will get resolved.
In the meantime, you might like the T-shirts I’ve done at my Retropolis site. They don’t have that personal “I made this!” touch, but I kind of like ‘em in a different way.
January 25th, 2013 at 1:45 pm
Heya, just got your comment on my blog. (That’s fast work! You guys are on top of things.)
Didn’t realize that the Pulp-o-Mizer wasn’t set for release yet. Oh well– guess it’s out on the internet now!
To respond to your question: the Pulp-O-Mizer would make a preview image for me, but I could not save or load the image, nor did the buttons for rendering and downloading the images work (at first). So maybe this is a java-script thing? I tried several times using Firefox 9.0.1, and the problem kept happening (or, rather, nothing would happen when I tried to save, download, etc.) Then I switched to Chrome and everything was perfect. Does this help, I hope?
BTW, this thing is GREAT. Love the artwork! Might get a mug with a custom pic some day…
January 25th, 2013 at 1:53 pm
Yeah, well, I sort of posted about it yesterday to get a few more testers in and then the whole world seemed to want to play. I don’t know my own strength!
What you’re describing sounds like your version of Firefox is able to display and edit an HTML5 canvas, but it’s not able to use the CanvastoDataURL() method to flatten and save the image. That in itself doesn’t worry me (I can’t update the browser!).
What does worry me, though, is that I run a test when the page loads to make sure your browser can do all the things I need it to do. If everything was working properly you should have seen a warning message when you first loaded the page. It’s possible to close that warning and keep going (which might have happened) but if you did not see the warning then something went wrong.
Glad it worked for you in Chrome!
January 25th, 2013 at 2:31 pm
I am seconding that t-shirt request! Even without the t-shirts, you are just full of awesome. But awesome with t-shirts is even better.
January 25th, 2013 at 2:32 pm
I second the t-shirt request! Even without the t-shirts, you are awesome, but awesome with t-shirts is undeniably better!
January 25th, 2013 at 4:01 pm
Clicking on the Pulp-O-Mizer link crashes Firefox 18.0.1 every time for me. Google Chrome 24.0.1312.56 handles it just fine.
January 25th, 2013 at 4:10 pm
That’s exactly the version of Firefox I test on, on my main desktop machine. What device and OS are you using?
I’m looking into a problem in earlier versions of Firefox (described above) where my preflight check doesn’t seem to be working any more. But your version tests fine here, so I’m not sure what’s up.
January 26th, 2013 at 9:05 pm
Well, first of all: Congratulations! You just won the internet.
This is an incredibly addictive tool that you’ve created here; and inspires the most incredible ideas just on principle. The old pulps are some of the most inventive speculative fiction ever created; and came into a time that wasn’t ready for them. Thank you, thank you for giving the thrilling heroics of yesteryear a chance to thrive in a time that would embrace it.
I did have a small question however about the rights to the images. I write stories obsessively; and have recently begun publishing them as a side-business. I’ve looked into creating covers, and have discovered that Creative Commons images are available for commercial use if you put a link to the original image creator in your story.
What is the rule here? You put the images created on commercial products for shipping; but if I created an image; would I be allowed to use it myself as an ebook cover; if I gave the site full credit for creating it?
No hard feelings either way; just hoping to find out.
January 27th, 2013 at 12:11 am
This is an incredibly addictive site. I absolutely love it. So, of course, I have to ask if there are planned modifications (such as being able to submit our own images to be integrated)?
January 27th, 2013 at 12:20 am
Matt, if you have a look at the “About the Pulp-O-Mizer” chapter of the on-page Users’ Guide you’ll see that there are just two rules for using Pulp-O-Mizer images: they’re not to be used in commercial products (blogs, if they are products, are an exception) and you can’t remove the Pulp-O-Mizer credit from them.
January 27th, 2013 at 12:32 am
Dave, I hope you don’t seek professional help for your new habit.
There are at least three roadblocks to letting users upload their own images.
The first one is that it’s a security risk. I already sanitize all your text input (and even your saved settings!) to prevent people who are less nice than you from injecting malicious code. Image uploads require a whole new level of protection that I’m probably not competent to write.
The second is that in order to work in every way the Pulp-O-Mizer does work, people would need to upload a very high resolution PNG image with transparency in all the right places and in a particular size, and I would have to provide technical support for the thousands of ways they might do that incorrectly, which they would, and that would make me cranky.
It’s nearly midnight here and that’s probably why I can’t remember the third reason any more. But man, I bet it was important.
January 27th, 2013 at 12:47 am
Gotcha! They tried to make me go to rehab, but I said “no no no.”
I understand not wanting to provide tech support to the masses though.
January 27th, 2013 at 11:29 am
Brandon, I think I’ve now fixed all the problems with older versions of Firefox, if you’re inclined to test that. I probably spent more years using Mozilla browsers than anything else… but Firefox is really starting to annoy me.
Your version of Firefox does support all the HTML5 features the Pulp-O-Mizer needs, so you never should have seen that warning message; that stuff was working correctly all along.
January 29th, 2013 at 5:27 pm
Hi there!
First of all, this site is outstanding. I’ve made three different pictures just for fun. But I also made a poster for a show I’m doing (set in space, so it’s perfect).
I was wondering if it’s possible to buy the image as a .PDF?
Thanks!
Toni
January 29th, 2013 at 7:01 pm
I don’t distribute my print resolution files, but I am hoping that being able to buy your cover on the 12×18″ poster, or on the flyers, covers most of what people might like to do with them on paper.
I’ve been watching the temp folders for problem images and I always chuckled when I ran across “Gee Whillikers! Space!” That one seems to hit me right where I live
.
January 31st, 2013 at 12:28 am
I’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback for the covers I’ve created & posted to FaceBook. If I were to keep the Pulp-O-Mizer credit at the bottom of the image, would I be allowed to get it printed on a t-shirt through a site like cafe press? I don’t want to step on any toes…
Also, have you considered expanding the choices to include pulp westerns & pulp romances? I think that would be additional areas for lots of fun…
LOVE the site!
February 2nd, 2013 at 5:36 pm
This is pretty sweet, how is this not an app yet? very awesome!
February 2nd, 2013 at 5:46 pm
The Pulp-O-Mizer only escaped from the lab about a week and a half ago; I am interested in turning it into an app, but I haven’t even had a chance to think that through just yet. Thanks!
February 3rd, 2013 at 2:15 am
This is pretty dang awesome, and yet I can’t help echoing Dave and imagining how great it would be to be able to upload pics. Your explanations why not seem very reasonable, and yet my heart cries out for a self-portrait with all the pulp trimmings.
Perhaps for a fee significant enough to make it worth your while people could send you pics directly and you could alter them to make them fit the program? Or a kickstarter type thing to fund overcoming the technical obstacles you brought up?
February 3rd, 2013 at 10:06 am
I really like your Pulp-O-Mizer! As a fan of the Savage Worlds RPG, I find it very compatible. However, I do have a suggestion, similar to but not quite the same as some of those above: I think you could significantly expand your user base if you added foreground pics of starships/vehicles that are closer in style to Star Wars, Firefly/Serenity and/or the reimagined Battlestar Galactica. I do not suggest using pics from those actual films/shows, but rather pics which look like they could fit that sort of theme. If you don’t want to invest time in rendering them from scratch, I suggest processing public-domain pics of NASA machinery through a “cartoon” filter set to ~30%; I’ve gotten some quite decent results that way, on photobucket.com).
February 3rd, 2013 at 11:55 am
This is extremely awesome. Nice job to the developers!
February 3rd, 2013 at 2:16 pm
Can I just send you money for existing?
February 3rd, 2013 at 2:29 pm
I am fully in support of this plan! When you get that urge, notice that there are links throughout the page that you can use to tip me with PayPal
.
February 3rd, 2013 at 5:33 pm
LOVE IT! One question, is there any way to change the main title? Or is there only the option of using pre-set titles?
Thanks!
February 3rd, 2013 at 5:41 pm
Thanks, Veronica! There’s a limit to how wonderful an HTML5 Canvas text title could look – even though there are some tricks you can do, it would look pretty much like the text you enter elsewhere on the cover. On the other hand, there aren’t many limitations on what I can do with titles in Photoshop. So… executive decision!
February 5th, 2013 at 6:50 pm
This is very cool!!! I especially like that you do unlined blank books. My daughter is an artist, so I suspect I will be ordering from her on her next birthday.
One suggstion — you need some post-apocalyptic background pictures. Ruined buildings, that sort of thing. Something to think about next time your expanding the selection.
February 6th, 2013 at 8:26 am
Your online graphic tools are truly amazing… and just plain fun!
I am writing a ‘retro’ comedic sci-fi ebook I plan to publish for sale online. Is it possible for me to use a cover created on your site for the ebook for free or at what cost? If so, how should I attribute you for the cover creation artwork, etc.?
Thank you for such brilliant and amusing efforts! This is pure joy.
February 6th, 2013 at 8:57 am
Hi,
I run a flash fiction blog/project where I post three new stories a week as well as accept guest spots on tuesdays and thursdays (I’m not going to spam it here tho, that would be rude)
I am currently collecting the “best of” of the project so far into an ebook and wondered if it would be ok to use the cover I have generated on here for it?
I would of course credit the site, I’m not that much of a massive rotter
If someone could drop me a line that would be tip top
thanks
JJ
February 6th, 2013 at 9:24 am
For Charles and JJ -
I can see that I should edit the notes above to add this: as I mentioned above, Pulp-O-Mizer images aren’t available for use in commercial products (except for mine!) and in any case the resolution of the images you build in the Pulp-O-Mizer isn’t really suitable.
February 6th, 2013 at 9:33 am
Looks cool, I’m just here to let you know the humourous popup about heirloom browsers appears if you simply have cookies turned off…
February 6th, 2013 at 9:45 am
Well, that’s interesting. I’m not sure whether I can decouple the browser check from the cookie it sets – off the top of my head I don’t even remember what logic causes this – but I’ll try to get in there and look at it when the dust settles a bit.
February 6th, 2013 at 10:49 am
Hi,
I am curious about the rights. I would like to use this to create the cover of my book (self publishing it) as I think it would be ideal. If I create the book cover using this, will I be able to use it?
Thanks,
David
February 6th, 2013 at 10:58 am
David, as I just said above (and in the User’s Guide, and also in the amended text of this post) Pulp-O-Mizer images are not available for that use and their resolution is too low to be useful for your purpose.
February 6th, 2013 at 2:09 pm
Hey, EF -
I think I figured out the problem you had: everything was working correctly! But I should update the error message to cover your situation.
When you disabled cookies – which the Pulp-O-Mizer only uses for a couple of minor things – you also disabled HTML5 local storage. (That’s like cookies, but 500% as useful.) So the browser check detected that local storage wasn’t available and concluded that you’re using an antique (but lovable) browser.
So like I say, I need to update the error message to make that more explicit. Thanks for letting me know!
February 6th, 2013 at 2:52 pm
Can we order one size up, closer to poster size?
February 6th, 2013 at 7:40 pm
Hi, I’m absolutely loving the Pulp-O-Mizer. But I have one problem.
Is there a way, after selecting one of the products, to create it at the UK Zazzle site? Their help says that everything that’s available at one site is available at the other.
I tried editing the URL (changing .com to .co.uk, and leaving everything else the same), and that still showed your mug design, but with the default image, not the one I had generated.
Or could you set up an option on the Pulp-O-Mizer itself to use other Zazzle sites?
It would be great if we could make this work.
February 6th, 2013 at 8:14 pm
Hi Bradley,
Can I use the cover on my ebook please?
(Don’t bother answering, I get it that the answer is no, you’ve only said it about as often as the Engish language uses the letter “E”)
Okay, so my ebook cover has to be plain text or something else.
But I can use the cover on my blog to promote my ebook (which is intended to be a sales tool for Google Business Photos) since you have specifically said that.
Can I also use the cover on Facebook, Google+ etc , and order printed flyers and postcards to promote the ebook? (and hopefully at some point we will get a cult following and everyone will want to buy a mug with it on…..) This seems to be consistent with allowing it on the blog posts.
Great tool! I guess we will seeing more of these images all over the place!
February 6th, 2013 at 10:23 pm
Kevin,
Well, sure, once you got past the whole “cover of my e-Book” thing, everything else is pretty much what the Pulp-O-Mizer is meant to do. Though that last one… “everyone will want to by a mug with it on…” isn’t very practical as things are right now because there’s no way for anybody else to load in the settings for a cover you’ve designed.
February 7th, 2013 at 3:35 am
Brad, about using your tool for book covers, what I don’t think you realize is that a lot of indie writers don’t need a high rez cover for an ebook. Think about what you see when you browse Amazon for books.
All I’m intimating is that you have a nice tool for ebook cover creation. If you could somehow commercialize it so that someone could upload their own graphics you might have a tool people would pay money for.
Regardless, thanks for all the fun. I made a cute cover and sent it to my girl friend. I’m hoping for good results.
February 7th, 2013 at 7:37 am
Super fun tool, just designed a Valentine’s Day present for my sweetheart. The only problem is I currently have no good way of shipping the mug to myself in time for the holiday because I live in Cambodia. Offering the high-res artwork as a paid download would allow me to take the image to a local shop and have them print it on a mug for me. As it currently stands, I either give up on the idea or try to print the low-res artwork on to a mug.
February 8th, 2013 at 7:36 am
Hello man, it is an awesome tool!
I will give you 8 dollars, if I can get my picture in at least 1024*680 resolution:)
I want it for my cover image on facebook profile.
Thanks for response.
Petr
February 9th, 2013 at 2:39 am
Many thanks for such a fun site. I’ve already spent a number of hours playing with possibilities and enjoyed it all. I also encourage you to sell poster size images.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:39 pm
Here’s a suggestion for you: Provide a button with each foreground and background that provides the option to flip (mirror) the image left-to-right. This would increase options with relatively little effort (computational or code).
Another thing I’d like to see is the possibility of uploading my own foregrounds, backgrounds and titles–or any of these–or assembling new foregrounds out of smaller components
February 9th, 2013 at 3:13 pm
Where are the dinosaurs? Where are the dragons? How can I make high quality pulp without dragons?
February 9th, 2013 at 3:18 pm
Phage:
Not to mention the apes!
February 9th, 2013 at 3:23 pm
Sorpigal -
Any time you find yourself about to type “That would be easy!”, stop.
There are things going on behind the scenes that you’re not aware of, and as a result this would be a pretty complex feature to add. But that’s not the reason why I have no plans to add it.
All of the foregrounds and backgrounds have approximately the same lighting. If you flip one without flipping the other then the lighting in the scene won’t match. And although your cover is your cover, its layers are the little kids I send off to school each day, and it’s important to me that they look their best.
February 10th, 2013 at 12:45 pm
Brad, May I complement you on your astounding Pulp-O-Mizer and wonderful artwork, they really knock me out! I do think it’s really sad that there’s no option to use this for ebook cover design, however, as I think you’re missing an opportunity for which authors would be happy to pay (me included!). Best, Stuart Williams. England.
February 10th, 2013 at 2:02 pm
Hi, Bradley. You have already stolen several hours of my time with this. The darned thing’s addictive.
Now, if you really want to undermine my productivity, you need to expand the cover possibilities into vintage horror and fantasy.
Thanks for all your work here!
February 11th, 2013 at 10:05 am
You’re a creative genius. And the group a unique marketing cooperative. Just when I thought life was boring and frustrating along comes something that takes the drudgery out of it all! Thanks.
February 11th, 2013 at 3:17 pm
Am I a group if I’m just one guy who talks to himself a lot? I think I am, and I just told me so.
February 15th, 2013 at 11:03 am
Hi Brad –
Is there any chance I could pay you to do a custom character for the pulp-o-mizer?
February 15th, 2013 at 11:16 am
Mark -
Characters are just about the most expensive thing I do, but it’s not impossible. I’ll be in touch.
February 15th, 2013 at 10:17 pm
Hello Bradley & Co
I’d like your permission to use some of your Pulp-o-Mizer covers on the store’s website to promote upcoming signings … leaving the tags and linking back to your site.
Okay with you? No? Well, that’s cool too.
Patrick
February 15th, 2013 at 11:49 pm
Yep, that’s all fine. The only restrictions I’ve placed on using the images is that they can’t be part of a commercial product, and the credit has to stay in place.
February 16th, 2013 at 3:35 pm
Dear gawd what a delightful timewaster!
Be nice if you could opt for Foreground OFF and Background OFF, but mostly wanted to compliment you on a fun toy.
February 16th, 2013 at 4:30 pm
Is it possible to purchase just a higher resolution image that I could then pass on to a printer to have shirts made? FIRST Robotics Team 3573 would love to use a Pulp-O-Mizer image on our shirts this year.
February 28th, 2013 at 1:47 am
Let me add my request for making these excellent covers available for use on ebooks – I’d be very happy to pay up front. As someone said further up the page, they don’t need to high-res to be suitable. If you change your mind re ebook use, please email me. Great invention, by the way!
March 1st, 2013 at 12:15 pm
Hi Brad,
Love the website! I have tried producing a poster using Google Chrome, but after I choose “Rectangle” option it renders the poster and asks me to click on save. Two things, firstly where does it save it to as it does not ask me to name the file. Secondly I have right clicked on the image, saved it to my desktop as a GIF file but when I try and load the GIF file, the picture is just black. Please help as I am wanting to place the poster onto Twitter.
March 1st, 2013 at 12:33 pm
Hi, Richard -
When you click on “Save” Chrome should open a new tab and then bring up a “Save” dialogue, and that’s where you tell Chrome where where you want to save the image. The default file name is “Pulp-O-Mizer_Cover_Image.jpg”. You can’t right-click and save these images. You need to save them through the save button.
I can see that you were using Chrome 25 on a Windows 7 device but I don’t know what kind of device it is; I’ve just tested Chrome 25 on a Windows 7 laptop and everything is still working fine here.
It’s always possible that some plug-in or browser setting is preventing the Pulp-O-Mizer from opening that new tab or saving an image.
March 1st, 2013 at 7:44 pm
It may have been I’ve been living under a rock for years, but I’ve never encountered such an immediately gratifying website! Thanks so much. I was able to envision some future novels. From a delighted unpublished author, who now dreams in technicolour.
March 2nd, 2013 at 4:18 am
As a modest collector of the real thing, I have one word to say – Excellent!
Plan to do a P-O-M article on my Starcruzer* scitech site soon.
March 2nd, 2013 at 10:35 pm
Can you print up to 2′x3′ for extra money?
March 2nd, 2013 at 11:14 pm
Laurie -
At 2×3′, the image’s resolution would be 100 pixels to the inch; that’s just nowhere near good enough for that size.
March 4th, 2013 at 10:30 pm
I am working on a series of “pulpy” novels and am seeking a good artist to help with the series covers. They are not sci-fi or space themed, but your Pulp-O-Mizer is perfect otherwise. I’m wondering if you are the artist for your elements, or if the artist might be interested in working with me?
Please let me know what you think…thanks!
Craig Wessel
March 5th, 2013 at 1:45 pm
Wonderful tool, surprisingly versatile within its presets.
I’m really hoping you’ll add horror and adventure pulp covers to the collections.
March 6th, 2013 at 2:48 am
Hi Brad,
Is there a way to get a larger image? Would love to use as a book cover, but the rendered size is too small for that. Suggestions?
Thanks so much.
March 11th, 2013 at 1:31 pm
You don’t use images created from the Pulp-O-Mizer in any galleries (or tweet about them, or anything), right? I’m asking for a friend, who would rather what she created remain private.
That’s right, a *friend.*
March 11th, 2013 at 1:41 pm
If you’re asking whether it’s okay to tweet Pulp-O-Mizer images, that’s perfectly fine; I’m not sure how you’re using the word “gallery”.
But it’s a lot simpler to focus on what is not okay, because there are just two things in that category: don’t use the images in commercial products, and don’t remove the credit.
If your friend isn’t doing one of those two things, then no worries. Isn’t that easier?
March 11th, 2013 at 1:45 pm
I’m sorry—I think my words were a bit muddled. What I meant was, do *you* use the images created by users in any way, or are they private?
Thanks!
March 11th, 2013 at 1:56 pm
Oh, I see! I haven’t posted a privacy policy, but here’s what it is:
I look through the temp folders from time to time and may even try to figure out what browser was used to create the image. That’s so that I can identify problems and how they happened.
Once a day, any file in the temp folders is deleted if it is over 24 hours old. (That means that an image stays in the temp folders for a maximum of 47 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds.)
I never share anything from the temp folders with anyone. As far as I’m concerned, they’re private.
If I see a publicly posted Pulp-O-Mizer image that I like a lot, I may share it. But that only happens when a user has posted the image in a public place.
It’s a little more complicated with the products – since you may not delete shirts, for example, those images might stay on a (different) server indefinitely. I think the image folders for the other products get wiped from time to time but I’m not completely sure about that one: it happens on the Zazzle server, not mine.
March 11th, 2013 at 1:59 pm
Thanks very much, Bradley! I appreciate the clarification.
—Sandy
March 13th, 2013 at 7:13 am
Brad,
I second Patrice’s question about use as book covers. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. 1. May I use the generated image as a book cover, 2. Is there a way to download a higher-res version?
March 13th, 2013 at 8:26 am
Overlord, even a pretty quick scan of this post and its comments would tell you that both answers are ‘no”.
March 13th, 2013 at 9:59 am
Brad,
Thanks, I spotted that afterwards, but I’m afraid I got called away before I could retract my comment. Sorry for that, and too bad about the answer.
March 20th, 2013 at 7:39 pm
Hello
We have a 1963 international harvester metro truck that we sell our farm to table ice cream from. I love this aesthetic and think it goes well with our image. Is there a way we could send you a photo of our truck and have it turned into pulp art so that we can have a banner made for when we sell ice cream at the movie nights at the local library.
April 11th, 2013 at 9:47 pm
Could you email me a high rez version? i’d be down to pay for a 300 dpi version. Also, an option to turn of the magazine title layer would be cool.
April 11th, 2013 at 9:48 pm
Any way you could email me a 300dpiu version? I’d be willing to pay. Also, an option to disable the magazine title layer would be cool.
April 13th, 2013 at 2:07 pm
Hi Bradley. Just wanted to let you know your site is now linked on Fark.com, and the Farkers are having lots of fun creating covers and posting them on the site.

Hi, Eccentrica: yes, I noticed that a little earlier. It’s nice to see the Pulp-O-Mizer Pulp-O-Mizing its inexorable way through the web
.
May 1st, 2013 at 4:30 pm
I really like this. I’m actually using one of the images I made as the cover for one of my radio dramas I’m making for a class. (It’s a graduation requirement thing, not a commercial thing. Don’t worry.) Question though.. is there any way to get the pulp- o-mizer with no foreground image? The posters that pop up when i saved the image I made are cool, and I’d like to try my hand at them.

Hi Brad — Thanks so much for your brilliance
Your site is exactly what my fiancĂ© and I were looking for. I have a question for you though — would you be willing to let us print one of your pulp-o-mizers on postcards rather than note cards on zazzle? We were hoping to use it for our save the dates. Waiting with fingers triple crossed….

Hi, Casey -
It’s surprisingly difficult (or at least complicated) to set up a new product for the Pulp-O-Mizer; but if you look at it now you’ll find a couple of product text links down below the big product images.
One is for your postcards (yay!). The other one is for some nice 4×6″ flex magnets. I set up the magnet product a while back but I never added it to the UI (till now!).
You can add custom text to the back of the postcards when you get to the ordering page.

Ooooo! Magnets….
Thanks so much for adding those items! We can’t tell you how much we appreciate the help. Should we put you down for chicken, beef or fish?
Thanks again!

Lovely, Lovely, THANK YOU . . . but . . . MacBook user . . . and? . . .
Typed text. Quotation and accent marks typed properly at first then in later iterations became “smiley faces” . . . how do I repair it? I don’t even know how to re-direct my 5 creations to you so you can see what I mean. Also, early on made a comment I would like to delete . . . how do I repair it? THANKS, again.

Hi, Grace -
It sounds like you entered your text, but then switched to a typeface that doesn’t support some of the characters you used. They don’t all include every international character. So if you just scroll through the typefaces you ought to see your accents come back.
