You have to do a straight paper path for cardstock
anyway. I've done
it to print up small amounts of business cards and event flyers.
Works pretty good and its cheap.
True enough, I've done the same. However, on
the business card stock, it
still wasn't a really straight paper path in my printer. I guess what I'm
trying to say is, computer cards would be thick enough that you must have an
absolutely straight path, UNLIKE what you're saying with business cards.
Because that's not cheap unless you print up
*lots* more than you're
likely to need anytime soon. I've done 4-color printing before and
with any kind of print shop setup your costs are going to be in the
setup. The ink and paper is cheap, but the setup is labor and that's
expensive. I haven't done any print shop jobs in about 10 years
though, but I imagine the cost structure is still similar.
Uh.. I disagree, or have you used cards lately. You have to print up LOTS to
just put a few programs on ;) Cards are one color printing. But you're
right, the setup is the killer. I know a guy that does good printing cheap,
I should take him one of my tsb cards and see what he says. I've been
meaning to do that anyways.
