I don't live near Staples but there happened to be several printshops all near each other in the local business district. I found one that gave me a hefty discount if I would just email them a PDF of the card (according to their specifications).

I made a PNG of what I wanted in Paint.NET and converted it to a PDF using ImageMagick, both free programs, and emailed it to them.

It required two visits, one to decide on the shop and get the email address, and the second to pick up the cards.

Color is more expensive than black and white.

There's a really cheap shop on the internet called Vistaprint that will do it, too. If you web search for 'vistaprint fraud' you find a lot of complaints that they charge your credit card once a month forever. I have no way of verifying if these accusations are true or false.

So I avoided giving my credit card out over the web and trekked to the local shop; They were very nice and friendly, much more human than a web site.
