p.1 #1 · Compcard printing and supplies question

I need to print up about 50 - 100 comp cards and 8 X 10 prints with resume printed on back of 8 X 10's.

Can anyone recommend a good printer with fast turnaround?

Id also like to order some supplies such as cardboard mailers for 4X6, 5X7 and 8X10 prints.
What is a good way to package each print before putting in cardboard mailer? Ive heard baggies, construction paper, etc. Is there an online source that sells this stuff in small bulk quantities for a better presentation? Thanks.

I recently got a recommendation from here for some nice clear bags from clearbags.com for some prints I made in 4x6 size, but I know that they have larger size bags as well. If it's very thin, I'd put in a thicker backing to the print or use a matte and put to whole thing into a clear bag, it will be a nice presentation. As for shipping once you have it packaged in the bag it can easily go into the cardboard mailer, just make sure you get the sizes right before you start to order in larger quantity or you'll be left with a bunch of bags and mailers until you've used them all up.

We use 2 mil polybags from uline ( http://www.uline.com/Browse_Listing_107.asp?desc=Uline+2+Mil+Industrial+Poly+Bags ) and the kraft tabbed stayflat mailers ( http://www.uline.com/Browse_Listing_1651.asp?desc=Uline+Kraft+Stay+Flat+Mailers+Tabbed ).

As for a printer for those... I'd be interested in a good source as well.
