This shows the e-prefix ('denoting the use of electronic data transfer, especially through the Internet') in lower case (Of course it would have a capital letter at the beginning of a sentence).
Minefield springs to mind, and they are just guessing if you read what they say in its entirety

Thanks for input. I went for E-Mail in the end against the designer's advice who said it should be EMail. What a brave chap I am

SiPie.

Coincidentally the chap who is doing my promo stuff is a guitarist with a band and he liked the "plectrum" idea. Trouble is he would have to get a special die for cutting at £70 which is £69 more than my boy has in his promo budget just at the moment. I might suggest that we let him put his company name on the back of the card which might bring him some business and might encourage a better deal! He also has a battered but reasonable Squire for sale at around £50 which might be useful as a spare for junior.

Cheers David

I know many printers who can do such a thing but theprice means you would want to hang on to the business cards for ever rather than handing them out

Good luck
