Buisness Cards Inspiration

Went to proof read my buisness cards and postcards today. Really exciting because of the colours! See how the printer reacted first and the design it came up with on www.quilterscottagenorfolk.blogspot.com

Tips about having cards printed

Check out the printers before, see work or get them to photocopy a photograph, enlarging it etc. This is a good way of seeing how you are treated, what your work prints like and what is available. Remember you want these cards to showcase your work.

Be aware of

  • What image you want to represent you.
  • Take a good photo,or have one done professionally.
  • Which way do you want your imageon your card to be,landscape or portrait.
  • How you hand it over to the printers,memory stick is good.
  • Find out what format and size megs they use.
  • Be aware that depending on the colours available in there printers, it may vary to the imageon screen.
  • You may need to adjust the image to fit and print.
  • Where do you want your text to be and what colour.
  • What text do you want and how do you want it listed. ie  e for email, t for telephone etc.
  • Matt or glossy.
  • How many because of cost, your work changes or address may change.
  • Proof date.
  • When will they be ready.
  • Would you recommend them.

I have made my own in the past but you do need professionally printed ones too!

If you are happy make sure the printers keep your job number on file and asked when they update or clear their files. This is necessary if you want the same quality again.
