Hey guys!

So I’ve run into a bit of a problem. I’ve coded a custom template using [Code Canyon’s Newsletter System](http://codecanyon.net/item/newsletter-system/52667) to send out newsletters/e-blasts for my company.

What I wanted to do was create an e-mail that is personalized in a way that there is an image of a gift card and on it is the customer’s name. Now I got it to work through using purely HTML: card image as the background of a table cell, then the text positioned where I want it to be. All of that works great, but I want them to be able to print it out (and bring it to us in person).

Except, since some e-mail clients auto-block background images from printing, only the name prints (and not the card image).

\*\*Can anyone think of any other way to code this? CSS is way too inconsistent between clients, so that won’t work.

I just want to be able to personalize each email with an image with their name on it.\*\*
