I started to mention this in the blog entry but changed my mind. People won't believe it, but I use VistaPrint. I pay a premium not to have their name on the back, and I pay another premium for top quality paper. I like using them because their site is so organized and easy to submit to. What I don't like is the upselling they do every time you click to go to another screen. Be careful as you click through all that because you could end up signing up for something you don't want.
