Printing Your Own Business Cards on Your Desktop Printer
Howdy folks...
Today, I want to talk very frankly about business cards at www.tlcIT.com.
First thing I'll say is beware...!
If you are looking for a thick, luscious, stodgy, institutionalized, business card stock with a fine silky texture, then do yourself a favor and go to your local printers.
If you do, though, be prepared because your business cards will look just like everyone else's!
Our business card stock do not pretend to be something they are not.
They are not thick...
Or luscious...
Or fine and silky....
Or institutionalized...
unless, of course, you design them to be!
They are admittedly, rather basic... but they can be just as effective if not more effective in promoting your business or business message.
Two things that are important to know about them....
First, our sheeted business cards are made of 60lb cardstock material.
60 lb cardstock material is not flimsy junk....
...But is not stiff, like cardboard either.
You must realize that this cardstock was designed to be used and printed with your desktop printer. If you use anything thicker than 60 lb it just might permanently jam your printer.
So, we'd advise you to check your printer specs for the acceptable range of thicknesses that your printer can safely use.
Second, our business cards are micro-perforated.
What does this micro-perforated mean?
Well, it means that the perforations between the cards are finely perforated to reduce (notice I said "reduce" and not "totally eliminate") the perforated edge effect after you break them apart.
Once again, not to be too blatant but, if you are looking for a perfectly silky smooth edge, after you perforate them, please spend your money and go buy business cards from your local printer!
I know some of this is rather painfully honest, but I just want to let you know right upfront what to expect before you invest in business cards at www.tlcIT.com.
Honesty's our only policy,
Rick
