Lesson learned the hard way. I picked up another fiber artist/teacher's card and it was printed on both sides listing absolutely everything she made, taught (and days & times) as well as her name and contact info. It was thin paper, but the info really got my attention. I used the printer at our local paper, and though they made beautiful cards, I made the mistake of not putting enough information on them.

It was more that I expected a higher quality finish from a professional business card printer who was advertising their product as "premium" - so I did end up with a stack of cards I can't use! :) Hi Klara – I wasn’t meaning to suggest that home-printed cards are bad – as you mention, many home printers now have great resolution and can produce very good results (watch out for ink running if using as a hang-tag though).

I don't think there's anything wrong with printing the cards on my home inkjet printer (which has a high enough resolution) - actually, I'm very happy about not having hundreds (or thousands) of cards laying around now that I know that I need to add some information ;-) But what I consider essential is good quality card stock - I used to use 224g/m2 drawing paper, then I got fed up with cutting it down do A4 and bought some exclusive high-quality card stock at a specialist office supplier. The paper is pricey but I only buy a packet at a time. “that looked like I’d printed them myself on a home inkjet printer!”
