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....

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?

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

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
