Hi all....
I've done the requisite search but found nada....how can this be????

Anyway, I need to get business cards made in Madrid. I know some board members have used vistaprint, and would like to know how they found it price/quality-wise.

My card is ready to go in jpg format. It seems easy enough to upload it to vistaprint.es but when I tried it said my sizes were wrong. (the book company I am working for designed the card in the states)

But...are there other options? Anyone know of a good print shop that will print off of a jpg?

Let me know what you know, and I'll let you know how it goes!!!

Candela

I love vistaprint. You can upload it on the US site without size problems, and have it shipped here to Spain. I've done that. It costs more but worked great for me.

Vistaprint rocks. I don't reckon you'll beat them for value. I will be designing my new "Say no to Chapuzas" business cards with vistaPrint soon.

But if you are having problems, there is a printing shop on Calle San Bernado called Impressionante. They also print on cups, tshirts etc...

And there's another (less impressive looking) print shop just a few doors down from them.

Hey Candy, I would recommend you find another format other than jpeg. Jpeg is a fine format for photographs and particularly for screen viewing rather than printing. When you print you would rather want to use a file of the following formats: ai (adobe illustrator), gif, tif or psd which are much better formats. If your designer passed it to you on jpeg request he/she sends it to you on ai or psd.


I hate quotations. Tell me what you know.

hi Candy.

sorry i totally missed this in your e-mail but glad you decided to post.

i have used vista print and it was a good service. i used the one in u.s.a. before vista printo spain existed.

a .jpg (even atr the best quality) will not get you the quality you may want. you should always use a .tif or .psd (see Fabrizio's post above) when going to print.

vista print also allows for .tif and .psd (photoshop vector format, in its layers) via their website.

saludos,
jer...

Candy,

EPS files are generally High resolution files as well, so you should have no problems printing from that.


I spend most of my money on beer and women, the rest I just waste.
