I'm starting a little offshoot business and need 500 good-quality 2-colour business cards by the end of February. The .psd file is CMYK and ready to go.

I was going to use www.vistaprint.com but I suddenly realised they're in the USA!

Can anyone recommend a suitable printer, either 'online' or normal? Thanks!

Vistaprint still turnaround quickly. I think the USA thing is a 'cunning' bit of accounting. I suspect they still print in the UK.

Yesterday their website was down and so was their phone system. Doesn't fill me with confidence.

Anyone else?

(ah - just saw the other thread... will try those)

If you have time just go to a local print shop. Did 500 cards for me in a couple of days (we kept changing with the design).

Thanks all - I persevered with Vistaprint (as half the price) and rang Suppport. Sure enough, a guy in Massachusetts! Anyway, with his help I picked through the gazillion options and eventually got the order placed.

Both Happy Snapper and I ordered from Vistaprint recently and had good service - both our cards and magnets were shipped from Brussels Airport so i guess they ship them in that way. I paid for 21 days service (cheapskate) and they arrived in 14 - very chuffed!
