LOL.. Maybe they are too busy looking after paying customers.. rather than "sample merchants".

Try Neil@scubaprint

very good

Have you tried MOO? I had my Christmas cards and some stickers printed there recently, and was very happy with them. They do business cards too.

Any reason why they need to be litho?

You may be happy with the shinny sh*te laminated floppy digitally printed card that seems to be what some printers palm off as quality business cards.

I am not, so I want someone with a marginal amount of intelligence to be able to insert into a envelope a couple...or may be three examples of card that is used with the different finishes they apply.

I don't think that is too much to ask

Digital print always looks flat to me.

They don't appear to have a phone number, which doesn't instill me with confidence

Guess you mean that most printers do not have that marginal amount of intelligence!!..

and of course.. you want freebie samples!!

This is fine, but I wanted to see/feel what card you use 300/350 or 400. What a laminated finish looks like. What a matt finish looks like. etc etc

 

[easiprint]

Thats fine. We can do that too

Why would I want to pay for samples!!!!

This is why i am questioning some not all...intelligence!!

When on a print run, it doesn't cost substantially more to print 501 instead of 500....there's the sample.

Maybe I have not been clear enough I have no interest in artwork...I am just interested in quality of work, card and finishes.

No worries thanks for all the interest. Have recevieved a PM and one offering help on here...

[wood1e2]

Thanks but I don't need a free 112 page buyers guide!!! Just a couple of samples..

 

[Tej]

Maybe off topic.. what happens to business cards that are given out!!

I know that I scan them ( those that I deem worthwhile to make a note of).. and then bin them. so.. every card does get binned.

The quality does nothing for me. Its the info thats important.

Maybe its just me!

That's fine. On the form, just tick the box for free samples - don't tick the box for the free buying guide.

I am sure you are right, but being that quality doesn't seem to cost much more than 'cheap business cards' I would rather give out a slightly better quality.

On the receiving of cards, if I get a card that I know was a cheap automated online knock up, I then think the quality of the work that person is selling could also be somewhat suspect.

Therefore, I throw in bin and forget.
