I have been in the creative industry most of my life and involved with photography for several year now. Recently, I have chosen to focus on some new types of created images. I am going to be working on images of inspiration, love, compassion, imagination, heart, feeling and exploring emotion and the human condition.

I feel it is important as an artist to embrace things about the world and express ones perceptions and project it in visuals. Sometimes not even interpreting but redefining an image to provoke thought. I want to be an artist that does not necessarily tell others what to think but rather inspires to think and think for themselves or as a community.

If you are a model, musician, talent, actor/actress, business owner, or just a creative soul that wants to inspire others, bring something new to the table and explore what it is to be human, an artist, a muse and a inspiration to others, then I want to work with you. Curious? Let me know your thoughts.

Online Printing Price Comparisons: Business Cards

Best Prices on Business Cards, insight from an artist and photographer’s mind.

When shopping for business cards, it is important to find quality but also find something that is cost effective. Purchasing business cards can be a tricky business. One place can and will charge you a high price for “what you think” is a good deal, if you don’t do your research. It has been my experience that it is good to price compare on every printing need. Go to google or any search engine and just search for business cards and prices. You will find a ton of listings, with prices in all ranges.

Two great places for printing are www.onlineprinthouse.com and www.overnightprints.com

I have found other printing companies that I intend to try out but, with the results I have had from these two, they have gained a loyal customer. Both companies are excellent at making sure you are satisfied with your order.

I once ordered some postcards from Overnight Prints and apparently their UV coating had become contaminated. I received my postcard delivery, and they had a yellowish tint. I was of course upset, so I called and their customer service was quick to find out the problem, reprint and resend my order. I got the new shipment and the product was perfect.

I have also ordered business cards from OnlinePrintHouse.com several times and only had issues once which was also quick to be resolved in a kind and friendly manner. At $75 for 5000 business cards, 4/4, full color on both sides, who can complain. I honestly think, it is an excellent price. This, of course, does not cover shipping and handling. To get the same order with OvernightPrints.com you would have to spend $160.oo

Each company specializes in printing services, so some will offer better deals. OvernightPrints may be more expensive on business cards but on the other hand they are cheaper when it comes to printing POSTCARDS.

If you are froogle in your search, you can find specials and/or discounts with all these companies. If you find a printer you like, do a search online and see if you can find any promotional coupons or discounts. It is always beneficial to do your research.

So in short, for printing your business card needs, I recommend both:

Online PrintHouse

http://www.onlineprinthouse.com

OverNight Prints

http://www.overnightprints.com

With the prices they both have and always checking to see who has the best deals, even local printers can take advantage of their prices to provide a service to their customers and still make a profit and expand the range of products that they can offer. Outsourcing can be a tremendous advantage.
