Business cards
Anna Kettle
phone number, snail mail address etc etc, I want to get some good
quality business cards made. The ones I can do on my printer have been
OK but are not waterproof and generally the printing is not well
centred on the cards
So I looked in the Yellow Pages and found that there are 19 printers
in Bury St Edmunds, far too many to trawl round. I have done the
design myself but I would want them to do the layout using my kettle
icon from a disk which I would provide
Any recommendations?

these http://www.vistaprint.co.uk/vp/ns/bcfree.aspx? i have been very
impressed how good their cards are for "free"

Would you like some of mine when I get some :-) Then you can confuse
everyone who will think you are me

Thanks I've chased this one up so far with no success. I failed to
find them though I had an X marks the spot map from a helpful woman in
the library - seems like its run from a private house. So I phoned
them up and I'm not confident that the answerphone message was for a
business - it was one of those generic BT messages. I will try again.

I've looked at online suppliers but I think this is something I want
to eyeball directly so I can look at the quality of the printer and
and the quality of their work

I've used Abel labels in the past (mail order) and I didn't have a logo
so I'm not sure how much with a logo but I was very very impressed with
the service and price.

Try any branch of Prontaprint or Kall-Kwik. The quality is good, and
if it isn't, you have a Head Office to complain to. They are very
tough on any franchisees who don't produce good quality work.
On the other hand, you might pay a little more than at a long-
established family printers or someone working out of his garage. But
the first is difficult to find, and the quality variable, and going to
the second is just asking for trouble.
Some branches of Staples also offer a printing service.

slightly and are in between two private houses (both of which are owned
by the Hawes family) so it is easy to miss.
Its been about eight years since I worked there but they are listed in
the latest yellow pages so I assume they are still going.

Barker's in Attleborough. In the parade of shops facing you as you
approach the double bend before the level(ish) crossing.

I *MIGHT* be able to lay my hands on the Adana and several galleys,
frames etc. Many moons ago I and two fiends used to do small print jobs
on the kitchen table..

suitable cos they specialise in full colour printing these days and
would be very expensive for my needs. He recommended Kall Quik in Bury
so I will try them (more convenient than Attleboro) next
Thanks all

Did you *not* want mail order?
I'm sure my cards were under a tenner.

"Fiends" is probably right. Those Adanas were indeed "fiendish"
machines, sold out of the pages of "Exchange and Mart" to people who
thought they were real printing machines, when they were just toys.

I suggested Kall Kwik or Prontaprint earlier in the thread.
Maybe you didn't read my posting.

Ours was quite a large one and did a professional job - the 'R' of 'ARK'
was a professional printer, and most of our runs were done with made-up
blocks.
We did one lot of encapsulated sticky-on-the-windscreen-and-peel-off
cards for the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy.
Supplied with a rectangle of Velbex and a Chinagraph pencil, the
Physioterrorist could write the address she/he was attending for the
assistance of Triffid Wardens etc.

I hope it works better than your newsgroup posting ability, which appears to
have hiccups.
