Any advice on where to get print model comp cards? Would like to gather a couple of places with different price ranges to use to start offering to models. Also, how much do you charge for producing the layout?

Thank you,

Anthony

As with every printing question, you need to post more information:

How many copies printed at one time?
Size?
Color or B&W?
Photographic, offset, or digital printing?
Turnaround time?
Local or via internet?

Maybe you can post an example or mock-up of what you want to print.

Thats the problem...I don't have any of that. I was just looking to see if i could even offer the service. I've been on one website www.modelcards.com and got a basic price. Of course I would mark up for my extra services. But this is more of a generic question to see what other places people use.

OK -- those folks are printing on digital printers -- essentially a high-speed laser printer, attempting to replace short-run offset printing.

Personally, I like photographic prints (though I've worked in offset pritning for a long time) -- I would ask my local Costco what kind of a deal they'd give me on 100 copies of an 8x10 print; they are already only $1.49 ... offer your customers true photos.
