Digital BW, The Print

Hi Mark -

Here at www.AAubreyBodine.com where we've been selling B&W notecards 
for 4 years, I did the first 48,000 note cards on four Epson 890 
desktop printers with CIS from NoMoreCarts using MediaStreet Plug-n-
Play inks.  Now that our volume has hit 80+ dozen a week, I'm in the 
final dance of outsourcing the printing to a local printer that has 
an HP Indigo printer.

I used Georgia Pacific's Cougar Cover card stock, 80#, cut 10"x7" 
(grain short) and matching A7 envelopes.  Cards were individually 
packed in clear peel-n-seal envelopes from clearbags.com.

My new cards done on the Indigo will be on ChromeCoat paper - Hi-
gloss and waterproof.

Good luck on your new card business.
