Are you looking for an easy to way to promote your business and increase revenue without spending a lot of time or money? Professionally printed business cards are the answer. The printing experts at America North Printers in Anchorage, AK, know how important it is for a professional to print business cards to create customized, valuable tools for your business.

It’s easy to print business cards on a home printer, but the differences in quality between a home and professional print job are noticeable. For example, a print shop uses heavyweight card stock that’s designed for quality business cards. Home printers typically can’t handle thick card stock, not to mention trim cards with clean edges.

Print shops also offer a variety of specialty services to make your cards stand out from the crowd. One or more design elements can be embossed (raised) or debossed (depressed) from the surface of your cards to draw attention and add texture to your cards. Die cuts are also frequently used to cut cards into clean, precise shapes that can’t be duplicated consistently at home.

Printing services also include a wide variety of colors and inks, including metallic inks that can give your cards an elegant feel to them. Protective films are also available to give them a durable shine that could never be replicated at home without special equipment.

At a print shop, from the moment your cards are sent to press, a team of qualified experts begins producing your order. An art review is performed to ensure your cards are sized correctly, the graphic resolution is suitable for print quality, and any special design elements are considered.

From there your job goes to prepress, where it’s grouped with jobs from other customers based on qualities such as paper stock, size, quantity, and processing options. A plate setter prepares your job for printing, and a pressman finishes the job, ensuring color accuracy and a perfect trim job. As a result, you have beautiful business cards you can be proud of.
