I have always gotten my cards printed at 4Colorprints.com..... and have the SilkCards...which are a photo resolution, full-color card with a rich, silky feeling clear laminate over the top.
Decent cards.... but the color varies wildly from batch to batch depending (as they explain) on what other cards/colors are ganged up with mine during a print run.
They also run about %69 for 1,000.
I've read here, I believe, where other people get high rez, full color, nice cards from other sources for $30 and have been happy with the quality.
Where do you get your cards?
How much per 1k?
If you have the time, can you scan and post a card as an example?
Thanks for the references people.

i was using ecolor until they sent some pink cards and this was a reorder. i called and she said red and pink were the same color and that it was my files fault....they would not reprint, I dumped their ass and Im sure they dont care.
NEXT!!!!!
I signed up on viaprintfirm and they will direct you to their wholesale site, cheaper than $30 per 1000 colors are great and no problems....yet.

I use overnightprints.com for my business cards and other printing. Heavyweight cards (15 pt) with high gloss uv both sides and full color prints. I just placed an order yesterday and 500 was $39.95 plus shipping. GRprint.com is another that has good pricing and many paper choices.

They are not the cheapest, but they do excellent work. Never had a problem and they ship quick. We have an order for 2,000 fold over cards being shipped now - should get them Monday.
1000 full color front with black and white back cost me about $88 including shipping. The design is done in Photoshop and then emailed as a .tif.

1k silk full color cards are $37 but 1k 14pt UV non-silk cards are $15 whether 4/0 or 4/4 color. 15pt stock bumps the price to $21, it's a nice thick card.
Photographic images print up just like any other photos with smooth color transitions, no dither/dots or line screen patterns at all if that's what you're worried about.

I also use www.gotprint.com. Have been for a couple years now. Price is great on all their printing, and they have now added another location in ohio, so us east coasters get our stuff quicker. I got in printed menus today, that shipped yesterday. Colors are always spot on and quality is great.
