Thanks

I've used them. Price was pretty good and the quality was not bad. I have the coating on both sides of the cards and they show fingerprints real bad, but have had lots of compliments on them by potential clients.

Hate to do this, but the forum has a search feature and if you search for "overnightprints" you'd get plenty of information.

I've used them and they are the best cards I've ever had printed... quality is superb.

VistaPrint's business cards are not standard size. They are smaller, on thinner paper, and generally just don't look or feel anywhere near as good as the ones from ONP. I know because I used to order my business cards from VP. The last time I just called VP and had them refund my money because they just weren't good quality.

And the business card is the only thing the client has to keep with them... so it reflects directly on you!

My first set came out ok. That was a year ago. I receive offers, usually $10 off.
I ordered again a few weeks ago. They came back awful. Skin coloring was gray/blue.
They did offer to sell them to me at 1/2 price if I wanted to keep them, but I can NOT use them at all.

I received my GOTPRINT.com cards... just like the reviews I read, they are great! Reasonable prices :)

I've used them for 6 sets of cards/ 3 companies. I've never had an issue with an order. I usually get only one side coated so I can write on the back. You cannot write on the coating - just an FYI.

I used ONP for my cards and they came out great. I decided to go with the rounded corners and only one side coated and it really made a difference. Have received many, many compliments on my cards...Of course, the design was really cool too! :)

Another fan of ONP. Several orders and no problems.

I've used them at least 1/2 dozen times. Twice I've been thrilled with the order, once it was fine. The other three times it was terrible, twice completely unusable and the replacement prints were just as bad. They seem to have a significant standardization/QC issue over there.

I guess I must be some kind of masochist though, because I keep ordering from them. I guess I'll try gotprints next time. grrr.

For everyone who is complaining about ONP's color, I suggest you learn how to calibrate your monitors. I've used ONP many times for many different types of prints and they are always EXACTLY as they appear on screen. I calibrate my monitors weekly to ensure color accuracy and have never had a color problem with any labs' prints being "off" color.

It seems to me, based on my experiences with ONP and several other print labs, that there is something wrong on the "source" end of the supply chain.
