Anyone have suggestions on good and fairly inexpensive Business Card print company. I would rather error on the side of quality than price though.

depending on the print quality you are looking for... I've used PSPrint.com a number of times, and they are fast and very inexpensive.
- PSPrint is probably the lowest quality I've ever seenmonospaced

The prices for 48hr are incredible.
How's the quality?- quality's not bad actually, I got my cards printed there.ke_pmk30

What is up with all these suggestions on “not-so-affordable” print solutions?
Not all people want to spend 400 or 800 or 1200 on business cards. And there's a lot of cheap bastards that can't comprehend why something might cost that much. These are called ”budget” clients. and they come with 200 bucks and that is all they have.
As if everybody could make them go from $159 to $899, and as if it was so easy to to just fire these kind of crap clients to work on identities worth 5 figures with the choice of some beautiful recycled paper.- So basically, the dude wants ”cheap’ solutions, why suggest solutions that are far from what the client could possibly pay...VectorMasked

I'll second the 4by6 satin cards. I've had many clients comment on liking them.
That said, I've moved on to foil stamps for our latest cards (if you need more than one name, it ends up being more cost effective for offset or foil stamps)

you know those designers who work for dirty cheap ex. 3 logos for 100 bucks. most designer hate them. well, here the same issues. for the printers.
IF YOU'RE PROFESSIONAL, YOU USE PROFESSIONAL PRINTERS. PREFERABLY A LOCAL ONE. (HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT PRESS CHECK).

Digital printers are glorified laser printers and I guarantee they don't even approach what could be considered "quality." Anyone suggesting something like PSPrint or 48hourprint must be a design impostor.
- Not all digital printers use toner based machines. I work with one who has an Indigo and the newer digital Heidelberg.Josev
- But you cant get anything from those machines for under 150.00Josev
