Thread: business card printers?

i just got a very good deal from Vista Print---but the quality isn't good. any other good ones you know?

the glossy paper didn't show the photo well and the cards had a white line at the top of the card---cut incorrectly.

I have been very happy with pricing, quality and service at gotprint.com (located in Southern California). I've been using them for many years for both my businesses, and recommend them highly!

I second GotPrint.com they are exceptional.

Gotprint is great, we use them at my day job (design firm) for many clients projects that need to be printed inexpensively.

Thirding (fourthing?) gotprint.com - and they are cheaper than vistaprint IIRC

GotPrint is good for flyers, but 123Print has better deals on business cards, and they have lots of designs to choose from. When I worked in an office, that's where I would order them from, and got nothing but compliments on them. Sometimes you can also find a percent off coupon if you look online.

I used Overnightprints.com the last few times I've done cards and postcards. There was one glitch once -- they sent me LARaqs cards that were darker than what I submitted -- and when I contacted them they sent me a whole new batch free, no hassle, and I didn't even have to return the (dark but still usable) originals.

Im going to second the quality & service for overnight prints.

Good quality card stock, good color matching & there is an option for rounded corners

I used Got Print on my first cards and they came out very well but I have switched over to Green Graphics & Printing (About Us Green Graphics and Printing) on my subsequent orders. It is more expensive, but I like being able to get the 100% recycled cards and veg & soy inks. They printed beautifully and had great customer service too.

I've used all of the companies mentioned so far, except the one Mintaka mentioned, and I prefer GotPrint. I just got my wedding invitations done at 123print.com and the colors didn't turn out as rich as I wanted and I don't know if that is because of monitor calibration, the fact that I printed on uncoated recycled paper or them...Probably a combo of all! :)

Have you contacted them? I've found them to be very good about putting mistakes right. I'm in the UK though so YMMV.

Overnight prints here.

The only thing to watch is *IF* you decided on rounded corners, they have a fairly large radius and their otherwise EXCELLENT template doesn't (or at least *didn't*) have an indicator for them (the rounded corners).

Nice heavy stock, great glossy finish. I've gotten MANY compliments on them over the years.

I've heard many good things about VistaPrint - however, when I was first shopping around for a business card supplier (back in the day), VistaPrint was locked into Windows/Internet Exploder - and was thus totally unusable for me. I'd be shocked it that were still the case...
