Where To Buy Avery Linen-Textured Two-Side Clean Edge Business Cards for Inkjet Printers, Matte, White, Pack of 200 (08873)


I wanted to make business cards at home, that looked and felt good, and that would allow a great color photo picture to be used on the card with my information. I selected the Avery Linen-Textured Two-Side Clean Edge Business Cards for Inkjet Printers, Matte, White, Pack of 200 (08873) - and after working with templates and WORD to design my card, I've been really happy with the results.

My cards are full color, one sided (even though you can print on both sides of these). The "linen" texture is only on one side, but if you print a nice color picture on the texture side with your business/contact information (my card has a color picture that fills the whole card space) then leaving the back white actually makes the card look even sharper, in my opinion.

I tried to print my high quality photo (with information) on these cards using a laser printer, an HP Color LaserJet 1600 Printer, and I was not happy with the photo quality on these cards (or on any stock for that matter). So, I am using a color photo inkjet now, and I'm really happy with the results. My inkjet is not too fancy, a Canon PIXMA iP6220D Photo Printer, but the results look really nice. I use the highest quality photo print setting, and I tell it that this paper is "matte photo paper" and it all works!

The laser perforated edges on all four sides of the cards snap away cleanly. You don't rip or cut or tear these cards apart, you print them, and snap them apart. This worked much better than I would have imagined. You can not see the that these were snapped apart - the final product looks great.

Why not 5 stars then? I wish these were just a tad heavier. They are not cheap or flimsy as some reviewers suggest, but they are not as stiff (thick) as some cards. Maybe if they were thicker, they might not print as well in the low-end photo printers.Get more detail about Avery Linen-Textured Two-Side Clean Edge Business Cards for Inkjet Printers, Matte, White, Pack of 200 (08873).

Order Rolodex 67236 Rolodex Open Rotary Business Card File, 200 Sleeves, 400-Card Cap, 24 Guide, BK


Work's Nice,, Look's Great
Good for the task, found my self having to buy 4 more refill packages to fill this to a level that would hold all my cards and still have plenty more room for future business cards. Does not come with enough card holders IMO.
Quality is there, I do expect this to last a life time for me and will hold up to the daily use I put it through. Do wonder if a covered unit might not have been better? only to keep the dust off of it.
Buy this with confidence.

Lowest Price Slooh Unlimited Minute Mission Card


The be very afraid review is spot on. The comments about the planted reviews are too (when someone makes up a pseudonym for a review with the word "honest" in it, you know it's a plant). Yes, it's cheap, and a lot of people seem happy to deal with all kinds of shuck and jive, and it is cheap (until anything decent works).

I mainly wanted to add my opinion motivated by the horrible thought that this might be a kid's "first telescope". This is not something I want my kid exposed to or values I want him to learn. The only word for the management is slimy. You never come away from an interaction without feeling dirty or cheapened. It is too bad that people like that had to take over and sink what was a good idea.

There used to be good people at SLOOH. Those folks, like Matt Bendaniel, and Tierney O'Dea will have nothing to do with it at all and are no longer members. Why would former officers not be members? Either it was just another job (contrary to the verbiage), or they no longer find there what they originally joined for.

I joined on advice of a friend, that has since regretted joining. She put it pretty simply. "In August of 2007, disgusted at another bright comet going to far south to observe, I joined SLOOH. They were advertising the Chile observatory, which would be perfect. It is now November, 2009. I have never once observed a comet that went too far south to observe. One still cannot make reservations on Chile or Australia. That's all I wanted. I've wasted two years and two memberships, and they have not changed their verbiage, not one word."

Recently these concerns were put to them but no less than the Royal Greenwich Observatory. According to their website royalgreenwichastro.co.uk, SLOOH canceled their membership, no refund given. The comment about "Jackass" was very much on the money!

Avery Printable Two-Side Clean-Edge Business Cards for Laser Printers, White, Pack of 200 (05871) Right now


I have been using this particular brand for my business cards and have had no problems at all. I have seen some of the negative reviews and my guess is they tried to use them with ink jet printers (print quality issues) or low-end printers (feed problems). I use good quality HP color laser printers and I have never had a feed problem, nor a color bleed problem. The printing does not wear off of them like on some other business card stock. And the weight of the card stock is equivalent to decent quality business cards. The edges break cleanly - no indications that the cards were made from sheets. I highly recommend this product.Get more detail about Avery Printable Two-Side Clean-Edge Business Cards for Laser Printers, White, Pack of 200 (05871).

Well, not much to add to the other reviewers. They pretty much covered it all. Just thought I would put one more positive in here.

They do what they are meant to do (laminate things of course!) and do it well. They are cheap, good quality, and as always simple to buy from Amazon!

30 Handmade All Occasion Greeting Cards with Decorative Reusable Organizer Box Buy Now


This is a great selection of cards, and for what I paid works out to be $1.30 a piece which is a really good price. There were maybe 5-6 in kids birthday card section, which works great for me (the card with the number you see on the back of the box is customizable for the age), they are all very good quality cards. Each card in the pack is individually in it's own plastic bag, and the box is a nice heavy box with a magnetic close on the front. I would absolutely buy this again.Get more detail about 30 Handmade All Occasion Greeting Cards with Decorative Reusable Organizer Box.

CSSN Portable Business Card Scanner and Reader - Scan2Contacts Best Quality


Beware: The bulk of the almost $200 cost here is the license. The only way to access this license is by entering the "Product License Code" into the installation software during installation. Woe behold anyone who recieves a box with no sticker since there is absolutely no help either wih Amazon, the seller, the seller's FAQ center on the sellers website or anywhere else I can find. Without this little sticker with the Product License Code, what I have here is a very expensive paperweight. Extremely disappointing.

Aurora AS890C 8 Sheet Crosscut Paper/Credit Card Shredder with Basket Immediately


It is therapeutic to use this shredder. I insert the paper and it makes a wonderful sound that lets me know that I just shredded something. So far I have only shredded stuff I don't need, I am glad that it doesn't have one of those windows that pops up that asks "are you sure you wish to shred these documents? Click here for yes and here for cancel" This is one thing that starts when you ask it to without asking you a bunch of questions.

All kidding aside, I have not had any bad experiences with this shredder, for the money it was a good deal. Happy shredding to all.Get more detail about Aurora AS890C 8 Sheet Crosscut Paper/Credit Card Shredder with Basket.

Wausau Paper Card Stock, 96 Brightness, 65 lb, Letter, Bright White, 250 Sheets per Pack (92904) This instant


This works very nicely for printing my own cards. I use a scoring blade on my paper cutter to make a nice fold and the card looks beautiful. Envelopes are available separately for the half fold and quarter-fold size cards. When bought like that, it saves big bucks over the inkjet card and envelope packs and I get the same results. If you make lots of cards, this is the way to do it. Get more detail about Wausau Paper Card Stock, 96 Brightness, 65 lb, Letter, Bright White, 250 Sheets per Pack (92904).

deflect-o Desktop Business Card Holder, 400 Cards Capacity, Black (70804) Review


I got this business card holder to use at book fairs, where several smaller publishers go in together on a table. All of our business cards can be displayed in this holder without taking up a lot of table space. We use two-sided four-color business cards as mini-brochures, so the fronts and backs of the cards can be displayed side by side. There is a clear version of this holder available, but I'm really glad I got the black one; it goes with everything and also sets off the colored business cards in sharp relief, making them "pop." It's just what we needed.Get more detail about deflect-o Desktop Business Card Holder, 400 Cards Capacity, Black (70804).
