Summary: This product says "cheap"
Review: Avery is living on its reputation, and like other companies that try this, their reputation is going down fast...Cards can only be printed one side (no indication of this on box or in literature); also, they had problems w/ink spotting (not printer related).

Summary: The worst sort of business
Review: I am stunned by Avery. A bit over a year ago, I purchased these cards and made some realy nice business cards out of them. A few months later, I ordered a bunch more and found that they said "new and improved". Uh oh. I opened them up to find that they were no longer actually linen cards, but paper, textured to look like linen, much as another reviewer has noticed. There was less texture than before and only on one side. They are completely unusable except maybe as novelty cards. To make things worse, I went to the store to see if I could find some older packages with the original cards. I thought I got lucky and found them, complete with a sample texture card on the front which clearly matched the quality of the old cards. I paid $60 for three packages and brought them home, only to find that the packages contained the "new and improved" cards in them. I have two words for this business practice: FALSE ADVERTISING. The product used for the sample card was not close to what was within the package. I will not tolerate such a lack of business ethics and I encourage Amazon.com to cease selling these cards. I also encourage others to consider what sort of company Avery is before giving them further business.

Summary: Disappointed In Quality
Review: I convinced people that I could make business cards for them, and invested in the software and paper. Software worked outstanding, but this paper looked little better than standard copier bond. The thickness is minimal, and the texture is just on one side. I invested in Avery's most expensive product and it came up very short. They need to do much better.

Summary: Buyer beware!
Review: If you have used these cards in the past, please be aware that the "new and improved" version, which features the same product code, is like a cheap imitation of the original. The original Avery Linen cards were great - real linen texture which looked professional. The new ones are not actually linen, but "linen textured", have about half the texture, and are no longer textured on the back of the card. What was once yielded a professional-looking card now looks like it was made by your home printer. I feel ripped-off and would be embarrassed to hand on of these cards to a potential client.
