You may want to consider that using a varnish is not going to be cheap, so if budget is an issue then its something to think about.
In case you havent been told what a varnish is yet (i havent read all the replies) it is a clear glossy varnish effect on selected areas (-you designate where-) of your printed object, in this case your card. Personally id steer clear of a varnish - there are infintiely unimaginative business cards out there that think that a clear varnish will solev make them look snazzy. I think that a pantone black on a nice uncoated stock of card would be nice and understated. If you have a budget to burn for this though, an ineteresting alternative to this to consider is to 'duplex' the card - a plain black back (200gsm?) with all info printed one side black on white stock. The black and white cards are then stuck together so that when you look along the depth of the card you will get an intersection of balck and white. Again, it is another fad, so id be wary. (As would the clientsd wallet too proabaly)Anyhow, theres my two pennies worth. Feel free to disagree.
Did you buy that font that you have used for this project? Fancy loading it up for download squire!?
p.s: Thermography is a good idea and quite cheap! Some hign street printers will do it.
