AVERYClean Edge Printable Business Cards with Sure Feed Technology, 2" x 3.5", White, 1,000 Blank Cards for Inkjet Printers (08870)

These print great on both sides. I love the clean edge, and they are easy to snap apart without tearing. The gloss on the front makes it look professional. Will definitely buy these again.

After ordering hundreds of cards from printing companies, only to need to change them a month later, this is the perfect solution! They may not be the highest quality card, but they are perfect for promoting my work at shows and in shops. They do have a sturdiness to them, and my art looks great on them. The only downside is sometimes the printer heads will catch the edge of the perforation and leave some marks on some of the cards.Otherwise I love that Avery tries to make these as self explanatory as possible with their downloadable templated and printer feed instructions right on the paper.Have and will buy again!

Good thickness, easy to use with template.

Easy to print, using Avery online software. Worked great with my old HP inkjet. Very happy with the end result. Cards break apart easily after printing, with a very clean edge.

Star deduction for rather thin cards and my dislike of the Avery templates. Directions for setting up your own business card template below.I use these cards in my finicky Epson Stylus Photo R2000 printer and in my HP 1320 laser printer (cheaper ink), just so that I can give people my address and phone number quickly and conveniently. If you really need to impress someone you might want to look at a specialized supplier of desktop publishing materials for thicker, coated cards. These Avery cards feed through my printers' regular paper paths with no trouble, and the margins and cards snap off amazingly-- if you fold decisively and from the side that says "...fold this side INWARD." (That's the side that DOESN'T say "STOP: FOLD OTHER SIDE" --you can't say Avery's not trying to give your cards a fair chance!)(Note: I haven't needed to print both sides so haven't tested what happens the second time the sheet goes through the rollers!)I tried the Avery template and was screaming with frustration in no time, so I made a Word 2003 table for the card grid, after setting up the page (side margins .75 inch (3/4"), top and bottom margins .5 inch (1/2"). I then could use fonts and pictures from my vast collections and get the layout just as I wanted it. You can even make sheets with different layouts, different text, different fonts, and different pictures on every card if you want.Your table will be left-aligned, with five rows of two columns with the column width 3.5 inches. (This makes the width of the table 7 inches, which will reach the page margins -- and the fold margins of the card sheet.) The row height is 1.9" and "exactly" (Word 2003's choices are "at least" and "exactly). To make the cards look nice, you need some space around the edges -- you can set the cell margins to .1 (one tenth) inch or so to make sure you leave space. Versions of Word from 2007 on take a little more bullying to get the table parameters to stick, if I remember, and so do Open Office and LibreOffice Writers.From here you can just start playing with the card text and pictures and making test prints on plain paper, or you can slog through the rest of this. I'm keeping my non-document-proficient relatives in mind with all the detail stuff.You can check the fit of your table by printing it out in plain paper and holding it up to a bright window with a business card sheet in front of it. Or print the blank grid onto a business card sheet, saves a bit of colored ink and you can always use the cards for something.Before you start putting in pictures and text, make sure that any and all parameters that change the cell size to fit the content are turned off (uncheck "autofit" in Word 2003). From here on, save frequently in case the table becomes unstable.Now you can start playing with your text and pictures. When you have one card that looks good, print it out on plain paper to check how it looks printed. Simple pictures with solid colors work best. When you have a card you like, select everything in the cell with the mouse, "copy" it, and paste into the next cell.The last step: set the table borders to "none." (A right-click anywhere in a cell brings up the "tables and borders" window in Word 2003.) Make a sample printout and if everything fits, save the file.From here on you can set up a template grid for future, different, business cards a couple of different ways. You can save a sheet of cards you know works as a template, delete the contents of all the cells but one (this helps design the new cards) and save again, or you can save just the blank grid as a template. This protects the sheet of cards you worked so hard over. Doing a "save as" and naming the new document something that tells you what it is, like "BusCardSampleSheet," is handier sometimes, but you have to remember to "save as" every time you open the document.You could of course make up your grid in any number of other programs -- Adobe Illustrator or even a drafting program or as a database report. There's probably a way to tweak Photoshop or Gimp to make the card grid, too. Whatever works!

The Avery business cards worked well and with no jams in my printer. Highly recommend!

I've been having all sorts of problems with these cards after upgrading from Publisher 2003 to 2007 until today when I figured out that tray loading printers do not work with my 2003 business card file in Win7. WHY??? I have no idea. Last year, I tried the glossy stock with my Epson printer and that did not work even though I could get the matte to work. I've wasted more card stock and ink this morning trying to solve my printing issues and so I thought I would share my experience with everyone. Fortunately, I own two printers and they are on my home wifi. The Epson workforce 545 was useless in printing on the Publisher 2003 file on my Windows 7 OS. You are better off purchasing a different printer than wasting all your paper and ink trying. My Cannon ( top-loading) MP490 worked like a charm with absolutely flawless printing. I can now use the glossy card stock as well without the smearing and alignment problems ( I tried the glossy as well as this matte in my Cannon). Anytime the feed on a printer must roll the paper up through the jets, you can almost bet you're going to have alignment issues.I am currently using MS Office Publisher 2007 for my business cards. I was using the 2003 version but recently upgraded to 2007. I've read all sorts of complaints from folks who also had serious alignment issues after the same upgrade. There are two BLANK templates in publisher 2007 that will work for these cards in Publisher one is the 8877 and the other one is the 8371. Finding these Avery templates can be a bit tricky but if you open a new blank document in Publisher 2007, click label, click the business card icon, click Avery Letters, you will eventually find these templates. NOTE: I could not find a way to copy my 2003 Publisher card and just decided to make new cards in the Publisher 2007. Trust me, it's easier and saves more time just to make the darn card again than trying to figure out how to copy, etc..It seems to me that Avery and MS want to make using Publisher extremely difficult to use anymore and are attempting to steer folks to Word. If you think you need to download templates from Avery and all that jazz, forget it. You do not!!Hope I haven't confused everyone. Write me if you have questions and I may be able to help you.

You must download the Avery business card template which took one second; then add or customize your pictures or lettering to the template business cards; then print out. It's that fast and easy. If you choose not to download the template and try to design or customize the cards as you wish, it'll be hard to align your customized information within the cards. Your margins will be off, and nothing will be aligned. It will take some time for you to perfect this, so it's better to download the Avery business card template. Instructions are included and it takes exactly one second to download. These cards are sturdy and looks just like professional business cards.

As described

The price is a little steep.
