i'd not take you seriously as a business man if you offered me your card which has been clearly knocked up by home PC.

you can probably get 100 cards knocked up by a proffessional printer for £20

i guess if you got decent card and a good printer it'd be hard to tell.

but for the sake of £20 you can save yourself the time and hassle and employ mr local printer to do it for you :)

Most of the effort is in designing the cards/ Would a local printer design cards for £20 (as opposed to just using a template)?

If yes, great, if not, I'd be tempted to use MS Office etc to design my own then start talking to a printer.

I picked up a bunch of business card stationary in Lidl YEARS ago - they hadnt been able to shift it, so I got it really cheap.

Cards were micro perforated so they look cut rather than pressed out.

As Baph says - its the design that takes time.

I used Goodprint for mine. entered "forum50" in the voucher thing and I think you get 50% off. And also a bazillion advert email after.

The whole point of a business card is to make you look good, so get it done pro or you shoot yourself in the foot.
