PLEASE BE WARNED:
Those of you who wish to use Vista Print, make sure you do not do the survey at the end that offers you bonuses or what have you. It is a "scam" where you are signed up for a membership more often than not unknowingly. This actually takes close to £10 (roughly $20) out of your account monthly.
WATCH OUT!

I heard about that Sean.. I use overnightprints.com anyway. they're great. If you get their gloss on both sides (which is free) your business cards "fan like butter" hahaha.. oh E, you make me smile. But seriously, they fan GREAT!
I used www.gotprint.net
They came out really good. I kept it simple. I got 1000 for $14.55. I was very happy.

Hey, I just checked gotprint.net out and it was crazy easy to design your own card...
I just placed my order.
You should get a discount, RichmanMatthew!
Ok...I've bit my tongue long enough.
Personally, I think that the ambigrams look terrible on a business card. In order to even be legible, they have to be kinda large. NOT POSSIBLE on the 3x2in business card. Something simple and easy on the eyes, and those are most certainly not.
RichmanMatthew, why did you have to post that link? It's one of those best kept secrets among those in the "know"...where else can i get 5000 GLOSSY business cards, colored FRONT AND BACK for only $65??? I love that place!

Perhaps you should have bitten your tongue for a tad longer because seems as though you're the only one in this thread that has a problem with it and I'm willing to bet, now that I've said this, others will follow suit and agree with you.
The ambigrams I have on my business cards were enlarged to almost the complete length of the card before I sent them to the printers. I have not once had anyone say "I can't read that."
But I do see your point in it having to be bigger, and that is why i enlarged it.
So to contradict your statement.. it IS possible

Yeah, you can go ahead and delete that link now that I know what a dang good deal it is... My order was shipped today and I have a feeling I'm gonna have them by the time I go to my first party gig!
Notice I said PERSONALLY.....as in MY opinion. And in MY opinion, all the enlargement in the world, especially on such a limited siced card, I don't think it would look good. Notice the *I* part....
Notice I said YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE... you're allowed to have your opinion, I did agree with you to an extent
a BAD Ambigram looks terible,But a GOOD ambigram (Deryns) looks great, especial if you dont notice that its an ambigram until you turn it over.Especial if its three days later and it said that card you picked he just couldn't find.
I actually agree with what Steve has said, not because of what you said though. If you're thinking that I'm ionly disagreeing because your post was rude, well, I'm not.
I mean, I have complimented your card because it does look cool...Buta t first all I saw were a load of lines and black.
On the topic of ambigrams, i've been havong trouble trying to get it to say 'Kyle' one way and the other way it says 'Magic' any ideas?
Abrigram works best if the amount of the letters are the same. Doing 4 and 5 will be hard to do probably.
hmm, I tried changing one of the aces to a four. Is that better or worse?
