Reply to: Vista Print: Experience of CUKers in Business Cards

[Lockhouse]

Vistaprint did some nice magnetic signs for my truck for not much £ - and a quick turnaround too. I used a mate for stationery as I wanted feedback for design considerations etc. Vistaprint have done some business cards for me in the past and I found that the website software kept adding "extras" that bumped up the price. Depends what you want really.

Didn't think much of the quality - would not use again despite being quite cheap.

Have you noticed that this guy made about 5 recommendations for Moo.com. Strange that, don't you think.

Not really, moo.com do great business cards.

They spam me frequently although I have never used them, I prefer to use a local print shop.

Just an update, I went with Vistaprint in the end and the cards came through yesterday.

They are really good quality and at a price that was reasonable.

I was worried about my logo and its quality. There was no need it was pin sharp.

I would recommend

I've used them twice - both times paid through paypal, which I think makes any continuous authorisation much more difficult (impossible?) for them - they don't have my card details of paypal login details. Been happy with quality for what I've paid.

And next month you will find a selection of random debits from your credit card (http://www.cginspired.com/blog/vistaprint-scam). Enjoy the fact that you will never be able to stop the debits and your credit card company can do nothing about it.

I will look out for unsolicited withdrawls though. As my wife always says, they are totally unacceptable.......

I've used Vistaprint, but then switched to Goodprint (www.goodprint.co.uk) who I found were better quality and had a much better (less intrusive) idea of customer service.

Is that what you offer on the cards in the phone boxes?

For that matter what's Churchy doing checking out phone boxes when he has CM to hand?

Got to find something to do in Swindon during the week. French Lessons sound just the thing...

Quite.

(1) Local printer will be able to do the artwork (they all have Apple Macs)

(2) Get a local graphic designer to do the artwork (they all have Apple Macs) - ask around or find one from local college/6th form/uni.

(3) Use one of the 'online' logo-maker services (they all have Apple Macs too)

(4) DIY and provide a PDF to the printer

I've done most of the above, and know others who've tried the options I haven't. All seem to produce acceptable results.

I've made me own logo (made with Gimp).

Mine were delivered from Vistaprint yesterday - on their Christmas offer were very good value, and I'm happy enough with the quality.

I've seen yours in the phonebox, they look Ok to me...
