Business Cards Digital and Litho

Business card printing these days is cheap, fast and effortless. Although cards can be ordered online, the printing is still best done using professional printing machines – either traditional lithographic, or the newer digital presses.


Litho printing is a two stage process which involves offsetting the ink from plates onto rubber rollers, and then onto card. Unlike web-fed presses, which use rolls of paper, card presses are sheet-fed, making them slower. Added to this, they are complex to set up. For this reason, digital printers are preferred for business card printing. They have several advantages over the traditional method. For a start they are fast and easy to set up, requiring no printing plates. The card is created in digital form, using templates or an existing card design, and saved as digital file. This information is then uploaded to an ink-jet or laser-jet printing machine, which prints the cards direct using heat or UV-cured inks or toners.

Digital business card printing allows an on-demand service to be offered, with short print runs and a rapid turnaround time. It’s the ideal answer for small businesses, as card details can be altered with just a few clicks, and multiple designs can be stored – for example, a single design can be customised with the details of each member of a sales team. Cards may be single or double-sided – the latter being the ideal way to portray extra information in an uncluttered manner. With modern businesses having web, e-mail and postal addresses, as well as landline, mobile and fax numbers, this has become a necessity.

Although there are internet-commerce firms specialising in business cards which the customers design themselves from online templates, the best quality business card printing is that offered by “clicks-and-mortar” companies, such as us at Minuteman Press Bath.

Your business card is your first impression...

...so be sure to get it right first time.

If you have a good business running full time and it is flourishing every moment then surely you will need business cards for various reasons pertaining to your business. They are a good source of advertisement and you can get business card printing done at very low rates almost anywhere. Nevertheless, it is better to get business card printing done by the best in this business. Professionally, if you want your business cards to promote your business well then it is better to deal with a person than a website.

Avoiding Traps:

There are several common mistakes that people make while getting business cards printed. Some of them use sub standard materials - wrong paper or wrong ink – remember these cards are a showcase to your actual business. Hence, you must design them so that they are appealing and at the same time a good advertising source too. So, get professionals to design your business cards.

Avoid creating cryptic cards. Just getting your business name and e-mail address or phone number printed on the card not enough. Clearly define what your business all about so that people get a good idea about your business. Unless people are impressed they won’t become your clients.

Sometimes it happens we try cramming as much information as possible in a small card. This is a bad move. It is a bad idea to get your business card over crowded. This will ward off any prospective client and won’t help in any way.

Incorporating Unique Elements:

Creating a good business card involves the incorporation of unique ideas. It should be eye catching and should give your message in short and effective manner. It is also very important to have proper colour contrasts so that the card is easy to read for one and all.

Reasons not to Print Online:

It is best to get your business card printing done by a business with a personal touch, with someone who will look at your design and advise on the best colours, stock and finish. One of the reasons is that with this method you can easily avoid all the common issues that will arise. Moreover, they will have good and experienced professional who will provide the best solution according to your requirements. It also saves a lot of time that would have been spent if you had to keep running all around to buy stuff you require.
