Preferably someone online and cheap. Would like to make full-color cards. I recall a free service something like “Mr. Print” that would give you 500 for free (their ad on the back). Not averse to paying an actual printer though.

How much should I expect to pay per card? It seems like local printers charge ~.07/ea while some of the online promotions run ~.04. For some reason, that seems really, really expensive.

Staples makes them. Very easy to set up. If you get plain white stock with black lettering they are really cheap. Still cheap even if you do something fancy.
