    I recently printed some business cards using Word 2003 and a Lexmark 6500 series inkjet printer.

    I added colour to the background. I used a 25% grey level. The front of the card that included foreground text printed very nicely. However, the back of the card that included no text printed out a much paler shade of grey.

    Needless to say, this was not what I expected to see. Is there an explanation and a solution for this?

    Thank you in advance for your assistance.

    Printing business cards

    Some words of wisdom for printing good quality color business cards without going broke: try CISS (continuous ink supply system). It's ideal for high-quality and inexpensive printing of colored texts and photos; even black-and-white text is cheaper than with a laser printer! Printing personal photos is cheaper than in a photo studio (ink costs $0.02 per photo). For office use: pricelists, booklets, offers, schedules and diagrams printing. A color copy of an А4-format page costs app. $0.01, whereas in printing centers it costs app. $2-7. For professional printing: СISS with high-quality ink and ICC-profiles gives 95-97% quality, compared to original materials. The cost is 20 times less, see inksystem.org for more info and eshop is available at *************. Ink for refilling is also available in refilling kits or as separate color flasks. Quality is very high and consistent.

    make sure the cards are A) inkjet compatible and B) able to be printed on both sides. Commonly I'll see cards with high gloss backs which won't accept ink.
