why online? just get it done locally. pr buy the print at home type

then go to a local shop and get it done. not difficult and you can get good quality cards. this of course depends on where you live I guess. but if you are in a decent sized city it shouldn't be a problem.

I live in Goiania.  The city isn't big enough to support a store that has equipment good enough to make professional looking business cards, and that's all there is to it.

Originally posted by hpeak13 wow, a city of a million plus people without a good enough print shop. maybe you should open one up!

There's a print shop on every corner...there just aren't enough people here to support the kind of equipment available in an online print shop.  If you're the most popular print shop in Goiania, you can afford a machine that costs $100,000.  The most popular print shop in Rio might have a $1m duplexing printer with a business card attachment.

This is why things like photo developing and printing are all done online now.

Originally posted by hpeak13 I get photo developing, but biz cards? I am surprised that you can't find a suitable place to make them. maybe you should ask some local business folk where they get their cards done.

I haven't found any that looked good enough, so that brings me to my question.
