Verified Purchase:Yes
I was cautiously optimistic. But I've now tried the Avery 5881 and the Avery 5871 cards, and both are very hard to print on the Samsung C430W I have -- near impossible. And when I did manage to feed a page through and successfully print it (maybe 1 out 3 or 1 out of 4 times it wouldn't jam), I'd say the thickness of the card stock and visible/tactile feel of the micro-perforations make this one of the worst products I've ever purchased anywhere, at any time. Not blaming Avery completely for that, after all, my printer can't handle these things as it is. Maybe if you've got a better printer this will work okay for you...
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We are very sorry to hear this. We do recommend selecting a thicker paper type setting such as Cardstock or Heavyweight and a best quality option when printing. Also, using the manual feed on the printer may also be helpful. If you continue to see this issue when printing, please reach out to our Care Team at avery.com/contact and we would be happy to take a closer look and try to make this right for you.
The additional spacing between cards allows for full bleed (edge to edge) graphics use while the perforations tear cleanly and easily, allowing anyone to create a professional looking card from the comfort of their own home or office. Just needs to be sold in the larger box, like the Avery 5911 standard cards, to be perfect.
With these cards I used the online Design & Print templates, and came up with a design I could be proud of. The printing was a snap, and the cards came apart without those ragged edges I'd been getting with other business card products. The end result is attractive and professional. I've been handing cards out everywhere!
These cards are quick and easy to produce with professional results. You create a card that looks sharp, exactly the way you want it. When you trade business cards at a meeting, you cannot differentiate between the Avery card and the one's done at a brick and mortar print shop.
I used these cards at work to provide a quick reference or "flash card" to co-workers for specific information on helping our customers with reference to another company we worked with for them. I used text and graphics so the card would stand out. The print to edge feature with the extra space between cards made it very easy to setup the graphic as I wanted. Once the cards were separated, it looked like a professional job.
