Can I send a GIF? We don't have the technology to print GIFs yet. We have some interns working on it.

Hilarious!

Except there are a bunch of services that print gifs to lenticular prints for an animated effect.

Except nothing. Simple-postcard doesn't have the tech, they aren't necessarily speaking for the state of affairs for the entire world.

Edit: that's pretty sweet tech though

They could contract one of those services to print it for them

Funny how this is a faux question with a faux answer from people who don't realize GIFs were first and foremost _still_ images.

I'm so old I didn't understand at first why they couldn't do it...I first and foremost think of a GIF as a still image.

Same here. My initial reaction was incredulity that they didn't write the one line of code it would take to convert to a supported format...
