Hi Kerry, I have to agree with Damien, I used to work in a studio using the hi lite and white this is great to have an even background and it’s easy enough to clean, it can be quite hazardous with kids not understanding that’s not a wall and there’s a light inside, I think a paper background is the best and most economical solution, you just have to roll it down when it gets dirty and you gaff tape all sides onto the floor. A note as well that the train on the hi lite is quite shiny so it bounces light which isn’t ideal. I’d suggest you to try and find a couple of white poly boards, ideally 5inch thick or more and as high as you can manage in the room, pain one side black and leave the other side white, they can be great tools as well. Best of luck. Sylvie

Hey everyone,
Just thought I should share my experience with Reads. I just collected my 100 run (they dont normally do 100 but since I said I wanted to try them first before ordering more…they said fine). I got them for less than 45€, in 350mgm paper, laminated, double sided and regular business card size. Had the choice for each side between glossy and matt, which is great because it allows you to play with textures. It was ready in 24 hours.
The colours are exactly as I wanted them and the printing quality is fine, which was my biggest fear.
The only thing I’d say is that the cut is a bit rough on some of them, but your man was cutting them when I arrived so many I made him do a rushed job.
I used to love having loads of different pictures behind my business card (from Moo) until a graphic designer pointed out to me that having a consistent branding (logo and all) is more important than showing an example of your portfolio, as well as the fact that you want people to go and check your website out, and not making a quick conclusion on what you do and how good you do it by putting one picture at the back. That’s up to everyone but when it was said to me, it was an eye opener.

Hey Johnny,
+1 on Moo, they are brill, and they’re good at making their own marketing.
I love the finish of their cards but I just feel like they’re quite pricey and there must be plenty of guys locally that could do a good job at a cheaper price and wouldn’t restrict you in what you can do with the front of your card (layout wise). I used a local guy a while ago and was disappointed with the main colour being completely off but I paid very little for these cards anyway…
