Many printers will put restrictions on what you can submit in terms of file types, quality etc.  Essentially you as the customer need to be quite well versed in printing jargon to make sure you can use the printer. Depending on the type of monitor you use and the colours involved, there could be a huge difference between how the colour looks on the monitor (RGB MODE) and how the printed colour (CMYK MODE) looks when printed from the printer or when printed using your home of office printer. Lithographic printing is an older method of printing and gives a very clear and crisp result. Ideally for the best result, you are looking at having a design of at least 300dpi when created in actual printing size. The printer can then try to find the closest matching CMYK colour. 1)  Business Card Design Many online printers usually give you two options: Option one is where you choose from a variety of template business card designs which you can then tailor to your needs. Pantone colour printing is normally more expensive than CMYK colour printing, but the accuracy to colour match is also better. Don’t confuse lamination with thick encapsulation. Lamination is a thin film of coating on the card, and you will not even know that the card has been laminated by visual inspection. 2)  Business Card Paper Thickness and Options Thickness (gsm) of the business card is reference to its weight. Monitor colours (RGB: Red-Green-Blue) appear more brighter because the colours are reflected, whereas the same printed CMYK colours would appear duller because the colours are absorbed on the paper which is also why using different types of paper which absorb colour differently can affect how the printed colour looks. The words lithographic or digital are simply references to the technology of the printing machines and the printing processes used to print the cards. In recent years many online UK business card printing companies have popped up giving you the customer plenty of choice. This adds to the thickness and durability of the card giving a superb feel. You will be charged for the postage and packing, and the quicker you need the cards, the more you will be charged.
