No. I've never done business with them, but they seem to think it's fine to spam us and some of our clients.

Default Biz Cards

Hi there,

Reads of Nassau Street in Dublin have a printshop and they charge €25.00 per 100 or €65.00 per 500. I think that's just printed on one-side.

Another place to try is www.vistaprint.ie . Ignore their free business card offers - they print their own name on the back of the card. But you can get 250 one sided cards for €19.99 on matt or €29.99 on glossy. For two sided colour they seem to add another €15.

I used them a few years ago when I was in Australia and was happy with the result.

All the best,
Jennifer

Nice chap that George. Michele, your brochure was very well put together but one thing that gets my goat a bit is the use of stock photos in both print and websites. I asked George if the guy in the Comms room worked for BK or if the picture of the desk was actually taken in Carlow and he admitted they weren't. (which I knew before asking him but that's the way the conversation flowed)

On a more serious note I feel that people, especially those who know marketing and IT, know when stock photos are used. You would get a lot more kudos from people in the know if you used actual images of your office and server room. Just my €0.02

Well the stock photography is kind of hard to avoid, as the data centres are incredibly restrictive about what you can take photos of....

Your point, however, is noted.

Nodding? I don't nod. I just snore

@David Behan: Cheers, all good points to consider.
@Jenny: I'll look into Reads, there's something shifty about the look of VistaPrint's website but I'll have think.

@Richard: Thanks, I'll look up Type Bureau. Oh, and if only I could afford the beauty that is SpoiltChild design!

Default printing.ie

I would have to vouch for PRINTING.IE - IRISH ONLINE PRINTING SOLUTIONS also - I have got a couple of jobs done with them and found their prices competitive, their quality good and extremely good customer service. Plus their website is navigable, intelligible and gives clear pricing.

I got some business cards done with them and was very happy with them.

For the money, probably the best I've seen - I've had small runs of cards done for similar prices with other companies and was not happy.

For a small amount of cards, this is who I would go with.

weird you'd think I'd know how to put a link in... but it keeps reverting to the page title, thus the 'shouting'!
