 Where I go to get amazing full color offset printing:  Overnight Prints
 
 This is, hands down, the best print service I have ever used and I do not share it with many people simply because I like the look on people's faces when they see my card and ask, "Where did you get this?!"
 
 This is a high dollar look at a low dollar price, check it out.  $40 for 1000 business cards, thick stock, glossy.  $95 for 1000 post cards....

				| Secret 2 
 I set myself a target each month and if I beat it all the names of producers who contributed to my workload  that month go into a hat and I draw one out.  The person selected gets a call from me to ask if they prefer red or white wine or a mixture as a case of it is on the way.
 
 I do not publicise this practise and when it happens only the receipient of the wine is told.

				| I checked the site out...looks promising... even for smaller amounts of cards.  I would rather upload my present card to them (my own design) and go from there.  I make my current cards (glossy) with avery on my computer.  One problem that I keep running into is that the cards don't seem to "slide" out easily when I give them out.  Does that have to do with the "finish" on the front? _________________

				| They were charging per colour and per letter but the web address was free. In printing terms, black isn't a colour and neither is white.

 I like simplicity to a point.
 
 I also like Kevin's idea.
 I have always enjoyed doing all my own printing, but I may finally get some "real" cards made.

				| I am technically impotent (there's a door left wide open) to upload a business card but I print on both sides of mine. _________________

				| If your middle name is Thomas, that could be fun. Initials printed on both sides "PTO", how to keep an imaging producer happy for hours. |  |

				| Since we're doing show and tell... 
 
   
 I actually just picked them up today from a local printer... he printed 1250 of them for me for $68 CAD... I also had another batch printed for one of my companies, but I still thought that was a pretty good deal...
 
 I just changed from this design. I was finding that having full background color, I was getting a tonne of color fade, so I went to the cleaner white...
 
 
   
 Anyway, that's me!
 
 See ya'll
