Laminated, full color, double sided, business card printing
Mpressive print provides the highest quality business card printing on the market today. Our printing equipment is at the fine edge of technology, with a calibration method able to reproduce the finest and highest intensity of color available today.

Card Stock
The card stock we use is a thick super white 13 pts coated cardboard. We always ensure a quality paper stock in order to get the best results when printing your business card. It’s simple, color richness is determined by paper brightness.

Printing process
Our cards are printed in four color process which means a combination of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. The CMYK colors printed together represent an unlimited amount of color combination. In other words, when it comes to colors, the sky is the limit. While other printers have switched to laser or digital printing and are struggling to provide acceptable prints, we remain committed to the superior quality offered by offset lithography. We employ a high-resolution 200 lpi (4800 dpi) screen for crisp clear photos and increased color gamut. Our prints have rich smooth solids without the streaking found in digital and laser prints. With offset printing your company's image will look and feel more professional.

Laminated Finish
Lamination is the process of applying a plastic film over the cards. This process greatly enhances all the colors of your business card. It also acts as a protection layer that prevents the card from damaging. A lamination process applied to your business card will assure an extended longevity in your client’s card book. Anything too make a long lasting "mpression".

Size
The final size of your business card is 2" x 3.5". When creating your design it is important to consider making the image size with Bleed. "Bleed" is the term used to indicate the area that will be cut off after your business card has been printed and cut to the final size. It is mandatory to add this to your design. We ask for a minimum of .25" (1/4") of bleed all around the card, making the final size of your design is 2.25" x 3.75".

Image Resolution & Colors
When creating your file in photoshop make sure to initially put your image resolution at 300dpi (dots per inch). This is the best way to get crisp text and a non pixilated image. Colors should always be in CMYK mode, DO NOT USE RGB, this color mode is a screen view mode only and we cannot print in this mode because all our business cards are printed in four color process (CMYK)
