i'm trying to bring back from the dead my old business and need to make some nice business cards -- you know decent paper, maybe logo engrossed in the paper, maybe some fancy ink (goldish?). Anyone know reasonably priced printers in NYC area???

check out http://www.usbcards.net/ you can get a slick business card, with hand set type, while you wait. He's got like 12 fonts, a bunch of dingbats and all kinds of paper stock to choose from. If you go to N. 6th street in brooklyn on staturdays, there is a flea market off Bedford and he sets up his hand press there. I get compliments on my cards all the time, not because they are fancy, but because they are strong and simple.
- oh yeah, he charges $75 for 100 cards, $100 for 200 cards... but done in 30 minutes!robotron3k

- colors can be off with them, so I won't recommend them if you are doing multiple cards for the same companyMeeklo
- Do you know if they'll print cards that aren't standard sized?Glitterati_Duane
