There are 2 ways to print cards with letterpress:

Metal Type or Photopolymer Plates.

You get either one with U.S. Business Card Company.

First, Metal Type -

No graphic arts experience necessary. Simply provide a thumbnail sketch in the body of your email (or PDF or something similar) of what you’d like your card to look like, nothing fancy. Choose a typeface from the "Typefaces" tab and don't forget to select a card stock from the "Business Card Samples" tab. (Will email you collection of dingbats & line ornaments if interested) Soon, you will receive in your email a PDF of a scanned proof of your business card on one or more card stocks available of your choosing. Changes/corrections will be made until you get the right one. Once the cards are completed, they will be shipped out the following morning to anywhere in the USA (or anywhere in the world) via Priority Mail if no other carrier is requested.

For prices, look at price list below. Take off 15% for metal type.

Second, Photopolymer Plates -

The good news with photopolymer plates is that you can have virtually any design under the sun. Simply send a file in Adobe Illustrator (vector art) under "Outlines", if possible. Photoshop is OK. 600 dpi is best. Other applications such as Microsoft Word are possible. Will take PDF, JPeg, TIFF, EPS, etc. The artwork must be BLACK & WHITE, but if you want a single color besides black, you must provide a PMS number. No CMYK, please. For separated colors of 2 or more, simply submit a black & white file for each color along with the PMS number. Sometimes a gradient is desirable or even a low res photograph. Just know that polymer plates are popular with highly textured, thick & gushy card stocks such as Fabriano Artistico 300# (water color paper) or Crane’s Lettra. You get that nice deep impression that gives the card that warm & fuzzy feeling. If desired, you may have the impression punch through, giving it that lumpy feeling on the reverse side.
