Business Cards

There are...and ironically not just images. IBM's particular hue of blue is copyrighted! BTW--If you
just want cheap, color business cards and don't mind the printing company having a tag-line on the
back, you can generally get 250 from Vista Print (online) for free. For a small fee, they'll print
them without the tag line. (But you do get lifetime emails from them...I found out about them from
www.techbargains.com.)

Hello, I've never posted here before so I'd like to say thank you for reading and this is to any
or all. I want to have my own clients, so I'm developing a business card. Do you think there are
significant copywright issues to deal with when selecting certain images that go onto the card?
For example, when getting an image from a book, (in this case it is an Egyptian hieroglyphic of
two arms and hands), should I worry about contacting the author? This is not a picture, but a
print of just one of thousands of hieroglyphic symbols contained in the book. Another image I have
in mind is a photo of a stenciled hand from a Cosquer cave painting in France, but it is on a Cd
cover (an older album from Patrick O'Hearn containing a copywritten photo by "[censored] Broadcast"😉.
My instinct tells me I could be in for trouble if those relevant had issues with it (chances are
slim), but then again, I'm not selling the image in any way...though I am using it to sell the
service of massage. Any insight will be appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Images or symbols that are not trademarked or associated with a particular company should be ok.
Proctor and Gamble `owns' an image of a crescent moon and star, but there are hundreds of other moon
and star symbols out there. Hieroglyphs are like words, or like chinese pictographs which many
people use to promote martial arts or energy treatment therapies. I doubt you'd ever have any
trouble using a copy of it.

OMG you are so right. Sometimes they send out emails 2-3 times a week. It has slowed since the new
year. It is a good place to start though. I don't get my business cards there anymore but I do get
appointment cards made. Its to cheap to pass up.

I have had my nephew design my new personal image..... how do you know if someone has something
very similar to it already? Is there a website to search through or should I submit it first
before using it?

It does seem like the hieroglyph would be the best bet. Thanks. Someone gave me a heads up about
Staples so I went there. They charge about $25 for 1,000 cards at the level of complexity I chose.
Other cards were cheaper and some as high as $65, but that's still, what,
6.5 cents a card? Anyway, thanks for the responses.

Considering that you're talking about a massage business and not some multi-national, billion dollar
corporation, I'd just not take anything that I knew was someone else's (and copyrighted), document
when I first started using it, and hope for the best. First, if you did inadvertently step on
someone's toes, they are not going to start out by suing you...you'll get a letter asking you to
stop. You exchange letters if there is a question of who used it first and whoever was the latecomer
stops or gets sued. I had to do this with Signetics once (I initiated it) when they chose the same
name for one of their products as one of my products. They stopped with no more problem than
composing one letter that pointed them to my new product release info published in a trade
magazine...so, normally, everyone is quite civil about it all.

That is cheap.... I pay $38.00 for 250! That is at Office Max. I might have to compare with Staples

That is what I figured. I have showed it to the most known MT's that I personally know and asked if

According to the Staples catalog, Raised Ink Combinations on those cards are as follows
(1,000 cards):

Black Ink $24.99 One Standard Ink $29.99 Black & One Standard Ink $36.99 Two Standard Inks $46.99

These are prices on Standard White...add about $10 to $13 for Laid, Linen and Recycled Stocks. You
can send your own artwork or use stock logos.

Actually they sell some combinations that are much more expensive, but what you have mentioned
sounds like it falls in the range I'm looking at also.

Original works (usually), too. But if you're photographing something you still need to be
careful...you know the "Lone Cypress" that you see in Monterey/Carmel so much...it is a registered
trademark and cannot be photographed for a commercial purpose.

That is cheap.... I pay $38.00 for 250! That is at Office Max. I might

When the letters are raised, it's called embossed printing and it costs quite a lot more than
just regular printing.

At least for me, dull would have been no response at all. So what would the therapeutic use of
rubber bands be?

In short, No. This is not a book report or a quote, it's your biz card. Any pic or letters, in
English or other languages, that is accessible to the public, can be used on your card, as long as
you don't use another business' motto/key phrase, eg. "You're in good hands with Allstate" and you
change Allstate to your business name, not good. At least, that's what I was told. Good luck.

Really? That is liberating news to me, because I really like the wall-painting/stencil of a hand in
the Cosquer caves in France. I can't for the life of me find good pictures of this anywhere, except
on a Cd cover. The pic. of course is copywrighted with the photographer's credit, so I figured these
pictures are hard to come by "free". I want to trust your judgement on this one. Thanks.
