Avery Clean Edge Printable Business Cards with Sure Feed Technology, 2" x 3.5", Ivory, 200 Blank Cards for Inkjet Printers (08876)

These worked out very well for me when I decided to create personalized business cards. The paper is stiff like what business card should feel like (unlike some card stock at Michael's craft store that I tried using), a concern I had before purchasing this Avery product. The Ivory color is very subtle, something hard to detect without comparing a bright white piece of paper next to it. And the printing results from my Canon Inkjet printer on high quality setting were outstanding (no bleed through showing on the other side of the card).When punching out the cards, it was quick and easy (directions are printed on the unused border of the paper for your convenience) by just folding inwards along each edge of the card. I understand a little how they accomplished such clean edges, which I can explain later on. But I was pleased with the end result - clean edges with no fray strands and all the cards were perfectly the same shape. One caveat with this type of clean edge solution is that you must use a printer that "feeds" in paper from the rear tray. Most printer have the front loading tray (or both) but loading from the front will bend the Avery paper in a "U" shape, causing your cards to bend and mostl likely the clean edges to "punch out" inadvertently inside your printer. I highly recommend loading only from the rear tray (or top loader) since its mostly a pass-through design.I designed my business cards with the help of Avery's online tool at avery,com[slash]templates. For this product you can enter 8876 to get a template that you can customize online (even save it to their website after registering) and download the finished design as a pdf file for you to print it at home directly on these sheets. I know MS Word 2010 also has built-in templates just for Avery products (and so does MS Publisher 2010), but the online tool was easy and robust for my needs. Avery has a FREE downloaded program that you can also use, and downloadable templates for other products such as Adobe Photoshop. If you can't find a 8876 template, 8871 is the same size and will work too.Hope all this info helps. I had a good experience with this product and will probably choose this solution over other options (I was considering online orders from Shutterfly,com). Just be careful how it is loaded into your printer and it should be successful..PS. As opposed to the micro-perforated version, this one has actual "cut lines" across all the edges of the business cards to create the clean edge. I say in quotations because the cut doesn't actually go all the way through the thickness of the paper. The "cut" is entered from one side, and is just enough that you can "snap/break" the cut similar to breaking a graham cracker in half. Only thing is that it can only snap/break from one side, but it works perfectly.

These cards are excellent quality and a great value. They are compatible with the printers I use.

I have relied on Avery products for years. I wanted to design my business cards and avoid the expense and hassle of getting them printed. These cards a quality paper with a nice weight. The colors came out vivid and present well. The edges are perfectly straight and precise. I love that Avery has templates and it is so easy to create what you want. My cards came out professional looking and have that nice feel of well made card stock. Once again Avery lives up to my expectations!

I wanted to make business cards at home, that looked and felt good, and that would allow a great color photo picture to be used on the card with my information. I selected the Avery Linen-Textured Two-Side Clean Edge Business Cards for Inkjet Printers, Matte, White, Pack of 200 (08873) - and after working with templates and WORD to design my card, I've been really happy with the results.My cards are full color, one sided (even though you can print on both sides of these). The "linen" texture is only on one side, but if you print a nice color picture on the texture side with your business/contact information (my card has a color picture that fills the whole card space) then leaving the back white actually makes the card look even sharper, in my opinion.I tried to print my high quality photo (with information) on these cards using a laser printer, an HP Color LaserJet 1600 Printer, and I was not happy with the photo quality on these cards (or on any stock for that matter). So, I am using a color photo inkjet now, and I'm really happy with the results. My inkjet is not too fancy, a Canon PIXMA iP6220D Photo Printer, but the results look really nice. I use the highest quality photo print setting, and I tell it that this paper is "matte photo paper" and it all works!The laser perforated edges on all four sides of the cards snap away cleanly. You don't rip or cut or tear these cards apart, you print them, and snap them apart. This worked much better than I would have imagined. You can not see the that these were snapped apart - the final product looks great.Why not 5 stars then? I wish these were just a tad heavier. They are not cheap or flimsy as some reviewers suggest, but they are not as stiff (thick) as some cards. Maybe if they were thicker, they might not print as well in the low-end photo printers.

I use these as hang tags on crafts I make and sell. The cards print cleanly and separate easily.

Ce que je voulais.Bravo

Excelente calidad y precio !

what inwanted

Gone through a full pack trying to get the design to align on the cards. I thought having a template available it would be pretty simple, add design, download and print. But nothing I do makes the design print correctly in the card space. It’s either too low, too far to the right. What’s the point in having a template and it not print correctly. Waste of money and time

Parfait pour faire mes propres cartes d'affaires. facile grâce aux instructions sur le site.
