I needed to quickly make some cards for my new business, so I bought these. While they’ll never match the quality of an offset- or even digital-printed card, they look professional and not at all like they came off my laser printer. Be warned, however, that you can only print on one side of these cards: I ruined a sheet when I didn’t pay attention and putting it in the printer feed tray upside-down.

I do not understand the good reviews. Maybe I am just not that good with my printer. But I did not find the software all that easy to use, I could not get the printer to properly calibrate so the cards were not lined up properly, the sheets did not want to feed through my printer, the color coverage in particular was not good, but neither was the black, I tried doing a photo on the card and it really came out badly, the card stock seems heavy enough to me, but it does not seem like good business card stock would be, black and white came out better than color, but still not that good, etc. To me the final product looks nothing like a professional business card would look. These might do if you were running a lawn cutting service or something and did not want customers to think that you were overcharging, but they are going to send the wrong signal for any professional. The no perforation separation did work well and is pretty impressive. Strikes me as an interesting product that is not there yet. I am going to give the ink jet version a try. May that will be better. I really do not understand how others did better with this than I did, but to me these were pretty much a complete waster of time and money. No way I would give out these cards. I would write out my contact information by hand before I did. Just not at all up to snuff.

Clean-edge business cards are THE BEST for printing your own in-house.

Interesting product but Avery simply refuses to tell you the Paperweight of the product and nice heavyweight paper can easily be too heavy for your printer.

This is a terrible product and no one else should be burdened by purchasing it and trying to make it work. 14 of 20 pages self-destructed in my printer, making the cost-per-card extremely expensive. Alright that it can only be printed one color at a time (or it screws up the black). Alright that it breaks out so cleanly. Would someone like to come fish out the cards scattered helter-skelter throughout my printer?!? Oh, and what about the wasted ink on those lovely throw-aways? That the final sheet is now stuck inside my very expensive printer is the final straw. Do *not* buy this.
