Is it possible to print a name on a business card? -

We have a stacks of business card in our company that has blank names. How can I print my name on it?

It s probably easier and cheaper to reprint these cards. You can try ReducedPrinting.com , they offer 500 free business cards. The quality was really good. If you don t reprint them or just hand-write the names, you are going to reload each business card one at a time, and it may or may not land exactly

1. Use a typewriter/wordprocessor with an impact/ribbon design. If you don t have one, look on Craigs List or Ebay. Quality will definitely be better than handwriting, but the font probably won t match. 2. Print onto the cards themselves using a thermal transfer photoprinter. This is probably the only style of direct printer that will accept business card sized stock. Don t have a printer like this? Buying one will cost more than printing new cards. 3. Use a quot;carrier sheetquot; before feeding multiple quot;N-Upquot; cards through a standard laser or inkjet printer. This takes a lot of time and patience to set up correctly. Your BEST option? Recycle the cards, save a tree, and order the same type through any number of vendors ranging in cost upwards from $20-25 for 250/500 depending upon stock, style, embossments, cutting, foil, colors, etc, etc, etc... Try www.vistaprint.com for example. They will print 4/4 (full color, two sided) business cards - $500 for $20 or so and they look great. Not like $125 lithography with gold foil embossments/stamping - but with 12point coated stock, UV coating and all! Their web to print offerings include variable data so you can store your business card TEMPLATE on line with them and just order new cards with new NAMES as the need arises. I hope this helps!

You would first need to ask your company for permission to do this. If they say yes, you could maybe buy a small print set and make a stamp with your name. Or you could get a stamp made for you.
