carl: The black on black can work really well if you do it by the right processes… instead oof getting it embossed, ask your printer about “UV Coating” its like a high gloss coating that feels a bit rubbery/plasticy, you have probably seen it on higher end magazines and bookjackets.
Its a bit pricey, and most smaller printhouses wont be able to acheive it, but the effect you get is just beauty. especially if you got it done as a clear coating on a matte black cardstock… very slick
Clever? Yes, but try dialing the phone number and reading it from the card at the same time.
what are you jeff; a girl?
place it on the table, put finger and thumb either side of the number and spread ‘em!
…or just remember all seven numbers
Is that dude’s name Poul?
remembering is hard.
Like my rum, I can never remember where it all went the next morning….
any idea where I can order some of these?
Yeah not so much.. I don’t think it would work in a professional setting but, it is brilliant if you want to be remembered which is half the battle.
But As an Aside what opions do you guys have about a black on black business card with raised lettering. Matte background and glossy font.

Every printer I call about says that this isn’t possible
of course that’s possible. you need to go to a real printer, not a kinkos with a color laser printer.
