UPrinting Review – New Business Cards!

I attempt to be a pretty fre­quent reader and com­men­tor on Free­lance Folder (a great resource for free­lancers of all types) and while catch­ing up on my read­ing a few weeks ago I stum­bled across this post “Review of UPrint­ing -Fast and Afford­able“. The post writ­ten by the founder of Free­lance Folder, Jon Phillips, is a review of a new player in the world of online afford­able print­ing. After read­ing the review I nat­u­rally dropped a com­ment thank­ing Jon for alert­ing me to this new com­pany, as my stack of busi­ness cards was pretty thin and it was almost time for a re-​order. Much to my delight I was con­tacted by one of UPrinting’s delight­ful employ­ees asking if I too would like to write up a review in exchange for a sample run. Well this is pretty much a no brainer regard­less of how much Jon hyped them up in his post so I hap­pily agreed.

Now in the orig­i­nal post men­tioned above the author goes gives a pretty detailed accounted of how the actual process works and since I encour­age you to read his review as well, I won’t reit­er­ate the process.

So here’s the brief ver­sion of my expe­ri­ence. With the oppor­tu­nity to have some­where around 1000 busi­ness cards sent my way free of charge I felt it as good a time as any to do a re-​design. (Yes I design and redesign every­thing I do it’s just the nature of the beast). Anyhow I got my art­work together after having a quick look at the sup­plied tem­plate, pro­ceeded to the UPrint­ing site and clicked on busi­ness cards. I filled in the details choos­ing 1000 matte cards full color both sides and got to upload­ing my art­work. Browsed my files, dropped them and had a quick chance to check them over before I sent them in. From there you will need to con­tinue to the pay­ment and ship­ping page, enter­ing in all of the usual nec­es­sary info when order­ing online and submit your order. Pretty easy!

I was con­tact very shortly after by one of he UPrint­ing reps as a cue­or­tisy to let me know that my files had been uploaded and I would be receiv­ing one final PDF proof to approve before we begin print­ing. The proof arrived and the files looked just as I had uploaded them, approve them and be on our way.

My cards arrived in under a week and half and looked great. It was an excit­ing feel­ing to be tear­ing into that nice big box of 1000 cards! The cards were per­fect, colors are spot on, the text is crisp and clear and the card stock is high quality.

Now this of course is a spon­sered review but as Jon stated in his review, I am 100% satisi­fied with the prod­uct and ser­vice as well. The qual­ity you receive at the pric­ing struc­ture over at UPrint­ing beats my old printer hands down. Looks like I have found myself a new printer!

Highly rec­om­mended, but if you are not ready to take my word for check out the com­ments on Free­lance Folder or visit UPrint​ing.com and give it a try it for yourself.

Oh and I will be adding a larger image to my port­fo­lio soon, promise.
