Back in 2003, I worked in a few major print shops. We used a 2 color press in 2003, and a 4 color press in 2004. Nowadays we use a canon color copier that prints large size card stock, and cut em up with a cutter. I always had printers that did the cards for free. (Most 4 color press jobs start at $2000 a job back then. The machine cost 1/2 million)

Cost today is $.040 for 16 cards !!! We print 64 sets each year, plus uncut sheets which I like to frame at home. Less than $70 to do the entire third grade. We usually print a couple thousands cards a year.

The hardest thing about doing BB Cards is the registration. (Front & Back perfectly centered) Only 2 & 4 color presses could print BB Cards back then.
