The Humble Business Card
Today’s business card finds its root in the “calling card” or visiting card, that small piece of paper used by members of the upper classes to let people know they wanted and appointment — or wanted to be seen. The card was generally restricted to wealthier users since some of the protocol around it involved handing it to servants or footmen, to let the “caller” know who it was that wished to speak — or perhaps – -romance them. The calling card found its way to America, and eventually morphed into today’s business card, where no footmen or servants are needed — just handy networking opportunities. Even in today’s smartphone era, a business card is still a welcome introduction — even if the person receiving it plans to scan it in to their mobile device! At Color FX, we do business card printing for your company, whether standard business card printing, or score flat business card printing. Come “call” on us online, to find the best rate for you!

With the fall arriving, there will be an uptick in business travel for trade shows, with warm weather destinations, like Las Vegas and Florida, providing fall and winter get-away locations for conventions, etc. But business travelers aren’t only getting away, they need to be well supplied, with material they take with them, or supplies for booths and meetings that await them at their destination.
ColorFX can make sure you’re ready for the season with all the material your customers will need, including catalogs, brochures, presentation folders, and more. We also do rack cards, flyers and newsletters, too, for stocking up a booth. And of course, we do business cards. Are your cards up-to-date with your latest cell phone, email, and web addresses? Or you might want to add your Twitter handle to your cards, or perhaps the Instagram account where you’ll be posting convention pictures!. We can help you update those cards, and ship them to you fast, before that first meeting of the season!
Your One-Stop Solution for Calendar Printing
It’s never too early to order your calendars for business and promotional giveaways. Color FX represents a one-stop solution for calendar printing (and other offset printing needs). Remember, as we head into fall, it may soon become too late for your 2013 calendars!
Did you know calendars appear to have originated in ancient Sumer, which also had a 12 month division system like our own? Unlike those Sumerian calendars, ours are printed on gloss stock, and come in a variety of styles to suit your needs, including in standard, medium and large sizes. Various gloss book coatings are available, along with saddle stitching in each format. Your customers will be happy to hang them on their walls, saving them the trouble of needing to carve on their own walls — like the Mayans! — to keep track of time. Act now and enjoy an additional — and very “timely!” — 10% discount!
A Note About Environmental Safety
ColorFX takes not only its commitment to you seriously, but to the environment as well.
We work closely with all our vendors to achieve cutting-edge, environmentally safe practices for our industry. Among those, are low VOC aqueous and UV coatings. VOC stands for “volatile organic compounds,” and is a term that denotes any chemical that “outgasses” its components. “Aqueous,” as the root “aqua” indicates, means any solution where water is the main solvent.
We also feature chemical-free CTP plates. “CTP” stands for “computer-to-plate,” and is an imaging technology in modern printing that allows desktop publishing images to be transmitted directly to plates. Additionally, our printing presses are equipped with pre-impregnated cleaning cloth roll washing system, to further reduce unwanted “output.”
All of this, including our chemical-free plates, and low VOC aqueous coatings means far fewer chemical compounds are released from the printing process into the air. Our vendors can “breathe easy” knowing their printing needs are being met in as “green” a way as possible!”
