    I've always used vista print for my printed marketing materials. They run great specials. I've gotten thousands of pieces of materials from them and have probably only paid about $80 total because of their freebies. It's good when you want to test out new materials without having to spend a ton.

    I've never heard of that. I special promos in my email but that's it. I've never been sent anything I didn't order and most times I get sent lots of freebies.

    What they do for their free cards is use the back of the card for their information. the front is yours and the back is theirs

    I have never heard of the monthly charges.

    I never really thought of going the business card route - but sounds like a good way to drum up some traffic. I have been using this company for about 8 years to print full color flyers with clear coat for night clubs - i never have a problem working with them. And no i dont work for them - i just really never had any problems over 8 years of doing business.

    Dpgink.com

    here is an example of their pricing (link shows more):

    Business Cards Full Color Both Sides / Coating Both Sides
    5000 $75.00

    hope that helps!

    I've bought several batches off DP user: Easterwolf in the past for my family's cafe. Here's a link to his promo thread: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=173928. Quick turn around, the cards look simply amazing and they really are indestructible. Best of all, they are incredibly affordable. They feel plasticy, not like a credit card though but feel nothing like a business card either. Very smooth and bendable but it's really hard to make a dent/tear in them.

    It's been awhile since the thread was made and since I last ordered, but drop him an email and see if he's still doing cards. From memory I had contacted him about getting cards done about a year after the thread was made. No drama's.
