Hey all,

i am a new committee member of a car club and have been given the job of
printing off 200 car passes. they will be of post card size and in colour.
my laser printer only prints in monotone, i have looked into getting a
colour laser printer but they don't say if they can print on card. The card
needs to be of post card thickness really or they will feel to flimsy. Is
there any other options out there i.e. printing firms or printers known to
print on card ok?

I have used several printers over the years and I have only found one
that baulked at printing on card. Mind you, the card was _very_ thick
though. All photo printers accept card up to about 300 grams which
should be adequate for your purpose.

For a colour laser printer that will cost about £200-00 I would suggest
you find your local small print shop and ask them how they want the data
presented to them and how much it would cost for a print run that will
cover 200 post card sized pieces. In the past, I have created a flier
for the local Scouts and asked the print shop to produce it on their
computer, as they use Page Maker and I was not prepared to learn it just
for a small one off run.

You could always have the cards printed on A4 card and cut them out
yourself.
