The phone # looks okay but the name on the door looks really small to me. I'm biased though(work for a printing & sign shop) since I have applied lots of vinyl lettering on trucks, wreckers, box trucks and semi-trucks.

Maybe I kinda like the difference in it

Pretty much everything Vistaprint is crap.

Vistaprint isnt crap. You get what you pay for. You professional lookin stuff then stay local and pay more. You want the something thats cheap to get by til you more funds available to the pay for professional lookin stuff then vistaprint is probably for you then. I had them do business cards for me and they looked pretty good for what I paid for them.

Looks nice. Only thing I can see that might a issue is that text size might not be big enough to see from distance on both of them.

I was a lithographer for 25+ years and the last several years I was in a small printshop and I specialized in business cards, letterheads/business forms, envelopes, etc.

I can't tell you the number of times folks would walk in bragging they got Vistaprint cards for $xx.xx and probably 98% of the time, we could match or beat Vista's price. Also, why go to Vistaprint? Everything they print is digital and with some 80# Classic Crest stock and business card software anyone can do their own cards on their own laser printer.

I was strictly a web offset printer and there's a world of difference in quality. Digital cards, etc. are the bottom of the barrel to begin with and Vista is still the king of the bottom feeders.

Not everybody owns lazer printer. I own a HP Officejet 5610 all in one printer. Local print shops around charge lot for small quantity due to cost on the printing press ink, metal plate, film, etc.

I use to catch the newspapers off of a web press when I was a kid. I have been running an Itek offset press for 20 years now. I personally like the 80# Accent Opaque cover stock, linen cover 80# Strathmore. I can tell the difference between digital and offset printing but most people don't notice the difference. Now most small runs like 100 business cards are digitally printed usually in full color. The days of metal plates and film are just about gone. I run my plates off a CTP system, takes a few minutes. Alot faster than shooting the copy under the camera, developing it, stripping the film then burning it on a metal plate then developing the plate. Less chemicals involved which means less money into the job.
