Anyone know a good printer who can do 4/4 business cards on a nice stock for a fair price?
Looking to establish a good relationship with one as a bunch of cards will be needed.

I can run Full Color cards for you on 14pt stock w/ UV or AQ finish your choice.
I can run as little as 100 cards for as low as $30!!
The quality is really good
no cheap shit here baby! :)e-mail me for prices

Dunno about $30/100 cards is a good deal. I'm not sure how much the satin finish is worth, but you can get matte or gloss finishes for about $40-50/1000 at other places.

--------uhh a picture wouldn't do it justice, you need to feel the satin to understand its greatness.
If you print with Pat at pattersongraphics, i would do pantones, you get better colors.
If you go with 4/4 go with 4by6.com
cheers,

I actually made a topic about this a month ago but only got one decent response. Are there any other suggestions?

I'm looking for a printshop too. Anyone know how this was done:
The ink has been raised to give it a pretty cool effect.

I just went through http://www.overnightprints.com today. They are cheap and quick and their quality is good. I've gone through them before for a client and now for myself. $40 for 500, $60 for 1000, $2 for every 100 round cornering, gloss or satin matte finish, and FREE spot or all over UV. Excellent customer service as well.
I got the same quoted from Patterson in LA and it came out to about $625 for 1000 + the options above...WTF! Must be gold paper, who knows.

On a follow up with www.overnightprints.com...just received my cards and the colors are way off, they even drifted from one side to another. I'm talking with their cs right now to get it resolved or refunded.
From other reviews, it seems to be a hit or miss with this printer...more misses than hits it seems. Any others?

Patterson is not gang run that's why there's a difference in price.
I just sent in an order with:
http://www.americasprinter.com/
2500 cards 16pt 4/4 matte aqueous both sides
total= $63.57(tax included)
They have sample packs you can request.

Hit me up NT'ers if you want to get High Quality FULL COLOR prints on 14pt stock UV (glossy or AQ (matte finishes. I can also do spots for extra cost.
I'm a designer / print broker here in L.A. ,yeah everyone and their mom is a print broker in L.A. these days!!
Been doing gang runs for 8 years now..BUT! i get the sickest deals and my shops quality is one of the best in town. Been printing at the same print shop for 6 years now, so i know what to expect from them.
I can hook up a NT price/discount list for all you designers on here
looking for a local source to handle your print jobs.Turnaround time is pretty quick almost everything is done in 48hrs,
HIT ME UP!!!
