You can make these work with a good Inkjet printerJun 09, 2009
By John D. Hillmer
I wanted to make business cards at home, that looked and felt good, and that would allow a great color photo picture to be used on the card with my information. I selected the Avery Linen-Textured Two-Side Clean Edge Business Cards for Inkjet Printers, Matte, White, Pack of 200 (08873) - and after working with templates and WORD to design my card, I've been really happy with the results.
My cards are full color, one sided (even though you can print on both sides of these). The "linen" texture is only on one side, but if you print a nice color picture on the texture side with your business/contact information (my card has a color picture that fills the whole card space) then leaving the back white actually makes the card look even sharper, in my opinion.
I tried to print my high quality photo (with information) on these cards using a laser printer, an HP Color LaserJet 1600 Printer, and I was not happy with the photo quality on these cards (or on any stock for that matter). So, I am using a color photo inkjet now, and I'm really happy with the results. My inkjet is not too fancy, a Canon PIXMA iP6220D Photo Printer, but the results look really nice. I use the highest quality photo print setting, and I tell it that this paper is "matte photo paper" and it all works!
The laser perforated edges on all four sides of the cards snap away cleanly. You don't rip or cut or tear these cards apart, you print them, and snap them apart. This worked much better than I would have imagined. You can not see the that these were snapped apart - the final product looks great.
Why not 5 stars then? I wish these were just a tad heavier. They are not cheap or flimsy as some reviewers suggest, but they are not as stiff (thick) as some cards. Maybe if they were thicker, they might not print as well in the low-end photo printers.

 Disappointed In QualityDec 11, 2003
I convinced people that I could make business cards for them, and invested in the software and paper. Software worked outstanding, but this paper looked little better than standard copier bond. The thickness is minimal, and the texture is just on one side. I invested in Avery's most expensive product and it came up very short. They need to do much better.

This product says "cheap"Feb 01, 2004
Avery is living on its reputation, and like other companies that try this, their reputation is going down fast...Cards can only be printed one side (no indication of this on box or in literature); also, they had problems w/ink spotting (not printer related).

Good, be sure to previewFeb 25, 2010

I've used these cards for a while now and like them a lot.
The print quality is good, although I think a lot of this has to do with the quality of printer you use. I am using a Canon Pixma MP620 and I am printing only black & white one sided. The linen texture is not pronounced enough to interfere with printing, at least of simple graphics. The thickness of the card is perhaps a little thinner than professional cards but not a lot. They are stiff and rigid like a professional business card would be.
For me the best part is that I can create my own card layout--and I can change it as much as I like. Unlike professional services that require a purchase of 500 or so, I can print 10 at a time--or even one! I can print a sheet of all the same design, or a different design on every card on the sheet.
I highly recommend buyers download the free Avery Design Pro software--Microsoft attempts to copy Avery's templates but they always are a little off and you will experience 'creep' in the alignment of the card and printing if you try to use MS Word instead of Avery's software. The Avery software is free and available in both mac and PC formats. Much like MS Powerpoint, the Avery software has 'preset' templates with text boxes and graphics that require little manipulation--or you can delete it all and design your own from scratch! Be aware that when purchasing two-sided products like this, the preset templates will also be two-sided so be sure to choose the 'back of sheet' feature to preview, modify, or delete any backside graphics before printing (or you'll end up with an entire sheet of INSERT NAME HERE cards).

 High quality and professional look & feelJul 15, 2008
By Victor Alcazar
Very impressed with the quality. Those given cards commented on how much they looked like professionally produced business cards.
The reviews indicating ink bleeding and texture on only one side are likely for an old version of the product. My ink jet (Canon Pixma MP970) produced very clear and fine fonts in color. The cards are textured on both sides and can be printed on both sides.
