2/0 card for Acupuncturist Ken Smith. Printed on thick grey chipboard.
1/0 card on thick kraft and grey chipboard. dark brown edge painting on both. the client asked for the kraft chipboard, but we threw a test sheet of grey chipboard in to give it a try. the kraft chipboard matched the clients current aesthetic.
1/0 print on 140lb. black muscletone paper. rounded edges. pretty fine type/detail to work with.
2/1 print on 140lb. kraft speckletone stock. more and more people are using the QR codes on their business cards. thankfully they are way easier to print than barcodes.
1/2 print. 2” square card. 200lb. custom duplex stock. neenah epic black linen / neenah solar white smooth cover. unfortunately some ultra fine detail was lost on the front because of the design/scale. sometimes we do not get to pick and choose what we print. we try our best, but sometimes the design/ink/screen/burn/etc ultimately defeats you each time.
rounded corners, 2/2 print using green glow in the dark ink. this had to be printed on a white stock because glow in the dark ink does not have a high opacity. knockout prints on business cards are difficult to do because they tend to bleed into the lettering, but this was the only way to produce this the way the client wanted.
1/1 print for designer James Anderson. the photo/monitor does not give justice to the fluorescence present on the front of the card.
2/0 business cards with edge painting on 140lb. madero beach french paper
it’s rare, but i love it when the client tells us to experiment with a project.
1/1 2” square business cards printed on 140lb. sweet tooth paper. the client wanted a naturally occurring distressed look. he could have incorporated the distressed look into his layout and each card would come out looking the same, but this way ensured that each card would come out different. we simply had sloppy floods and printed with a super hard 90 duro squeegee.
2/2 screen printed business cards. the designer had wanted the glow in the dark ink to be a solid opaque color, however, that’s not how these inks come. it needed to be redesigned to be a flood layer of glow in the dark ink on either side of the card with a coat of black over top to get the desired effect.
3/0 screen printed business cards with edge painting and glow in the dark ink. printed on 140lb. pure white muscletone paper. thanks to tim smith for the awesome photo.
3/2 card with edge painting. 220lb. lettra paper. the thicker the card, the more effective the edge painting! the darker black is actually a clear acrylic spot coat (both sides).
1/1 card on 120lb. duplexed (black/white) fine linen neenah paper.
custom size 1/0 business card. 3.5” x 1.7”. knock out text usually sucks to print the smaller it becomes, but we got this to come out just fine.
2/2 business card with rounded corners on 140lb. pure white french paper. both sides are knockout prints and both sides have a spot clear acrylic gloss coat. the light reflects this in different ways. the photo was taken so you can see the gloss coat quite well. definitely one of my favorite cards based on the idea to print.
