Title: help needed!
Post by: Civat on 31/01/2012 11:12:21: Hi everyone!

Just need to ask something. Im planning on getting some business cards made. My friend told me about a online company called <spam made easy> and said they were very good. I would just like to know have any of you ordered anything from there and would like to know how it was?

I see some also are laminated.
I prefer color laser printers if possible, so they don't run, although ink jet printers may have better image quality. Don't use paper for ink jet only printers in a laser printer.

I looked up more into detail of <spam made easy> and found some really good deals on them. I can now get 50% off my business cards :D I think im going to order a lot from them now! :)

I made the mistake about ten years ago of getting some free business cards - the endless spam/junk snail-mail was incredible; two or three email a day and a letter through the post most weeks.

I must admit, I have fallen foul of this scourge myself, but they were free! YES FREE!!!

I still can't manage to work out how I ended up paying for them (https://www.thenakedscientists.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fbestsmileys.com%2Fclueless%2F1.gif&hash=ba6e884e2ac18d739c0e89967c82862b)

If you don't read Arabic yourself, I hope you got someone who does to confirm it didn't include any inappropriate comments about your ancestry.

I was promised it didn't! and I compared it very closely to those of colleagues and the only difference was my name - which I was able to check myself. It was more for the huge amount of contact details we had in those days: telex, reuters, comtext, telephone, mobile, homephone, fax, cable address - and I was the first in the company to have a new email address
