Secret #1
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.... _________________ Genus |

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? _________________ "Bailey"

Banksey, are you paying for your business card on instalments too?  |

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. _________________ DBCooperVO.com

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

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!
