Online Color Printing--PsPrint
PS Prints
This company provides in my experience the best quality printing, great turn-around options and best prices. I have used them for a number of printed items and everyone I have recommmeded them to has been extremely happy. One added benefit is if you are in the Bay Area and need to get it quickly they are located in Oakland, but so close to Emeryville they are literally right around the corner on Mandela Parkway from the Best Buy - also very close to the Freeway.

GotVMail
If you are running more than one business or you are very mobile or just want to sound professional at a minimal expense - then GotVMail is a great solution. I use this service for two of my businessess and have done so for a couple of years now. I don't have one bad thing or bad experience to report but endless delight in how much easier it makes my life and business management.

The four most outstanding features are: 1) when GotVMail transfers the call to whichever number(s) you choose, when you take the call GotVMail asks if you want to take the call, send to voicemail or hear the caller ID; 2) you can view, rename and listen to all your calls in their online interface; 3) GotVMail sends you an email if you choose with the message in an MP3 file - this means for a lot of PDA cell phone users you can just open your email at your leisure and hear the voicemail via the MP3; 4) you can use GotVMail's Voice Studio for only $50 to record a very professional message with instructions to your alphabetical search for extensions and any other items you want within your menu tree of phone extensions. You can also choose the voice you want for the recording - last time I checked there were British and French accents included in the choices.
