I am looking for a place on-line that I can order full color business
cards to be Fed Exed out.

I only need about 200 cards.

I have all the artwork ready in Quark.   I also have an high-res EPS
file of the card.

I need them in 3-4 days
Help!

Greetings,

I'm not sure that it is going to be possible to get the cards
within 3-4 days due to it being the weekend.  However, the
following businesses look like your best bet.  They have quick
turnaround, and allow you to upload your own graphics.

OvernightPrints.com claims to offer 24 hour turnaround.  They
offer 1000 single sided cards for $39.95 or double-sided for
$49.95.  They support the EPS file format.  Here is their URL:
http://www.overnightprints.com/

PrintingForLess.com has a minimum order of 500 cards.  They
support various image formats, including Quark.  The base charge
for 500 cards is $49.95.  If you add rush production (which ships
on the third business day after proof approval) and next day air
shipping, the total is $117.43.  Here is a direct link to the
business cards area of their site:
https://www.printingforless.com/cardsbusinesscards.html

iPrint.com offers smaller quantities (starting at 100).  They say,
"Printed products are shipped from the commercial printer within 2
to 5 business days of the order being placed."  They also offer
shipping options ranging from 5-7 business days to one day air.
NOTE: I'm not sure what type of design you have.  If you have
designed your entire business card, I don't think you want to use
this site.  They let you add a custom graphic to a card, but it
appears that it has to be placed over a predefined text layout.
(That is, the layout of your contact info is pre-determined, and
you just put a graphic in a predefined location on the card.)

There are cheaper services, but they don't deliver the product as
quickly.

I hope one of these services meets your needs.

http://www.vistaprint.com - I've been ordering my cards there for a
long time.  Excellent quality - thick card stock, much better than
I've seen even at local professional printing companies.  Go to the
main site, click on "Business Cards" in the title bar and then choose
"Upload graphics" and follow the rest of the prompts - they charge
$24.95 for 3-day rush delivery.

For "free cards" you may choose a template from their "free card
templates," fill it in and pay only $5.95 shipping (10 days to 2 weeks
delivery) for 250 full-color business cards.  Even though you have a
custom design, you might find use for additional cards through their
free offer.
