This is where I got mine (http://loca*****intbusinesscards.com/ordering/Darryl-Brooks-Business-Cards.php). You can order with custom photography, including your own.

i run a graphic design business and very few of my clients choose vista print - they are good for postcards and novelty items magnets ect but cards try studioprint.com if you are uk based.. your cards can be your first impression or your final one make the effort to say "quality" - if you try a local printers and arn't sure of artwork most charge £45 for artwork its worth it in the long run :)

vistaprint! again.

I am a freelance Graphic Designer and if your interested, I would be willing to create you a custom business card. You even will get to see the design before you pay to see if you like it or not, so what do you have to lose.
I charge $20 for the design.

Just ordered from overnightprints.com. Found a coupon online and went with 100 cards shipped for less than 10 bucks . Figured it was worth giving them a try.

I just took a chance and ordered 2000 cards (my normal amount) from vistaprints. They came much darker than what I had designed. They'll get me by for a short period although it is quite embarrasing.

Formerly, I had prinfirm.com do my cards. Two sided full color cards with a UV coating on both sides. Very slightly more expensive than vistaprints but they always turned out EXACTLY the way I designed them and on better paper. Printfirm is getting my business back.

If you took the vistaprint cards, did full color both sides, glossy ONE side, the price would be much more expensive than printfirm. Plus I just paid nearly $20 for vistaprint shipping and last I ordered from printfirm it was around $8 for the same shipment.

I forgot to mention, The vistaprint pricing was following the link in this thread to get the big discount. Printfirm pricing is their standard pricing...

I have heard of the ink being darker than people designed, but I did not have this problem when I ordered. I remember reading somewhere when I ordered to lighten the colors to compensate for this issue but I ignored it. Most people are not going to look at your card and think that it is too dark of a gray so I will not do my business with him, how DARE he choose that color.

My cards actually had a fade, black at the top and medium gray at the bottom to match my website. The difference was so great that the entire background is completely black. The back side has a nice shiney black car with reflections. The image of the car is just 'black'.

I'm still using the cards as I know customers will not know the difference, but I will make sure the next batch is correct.

After comparing the papers from my previous cards, the best way to describe it is compared to printing a photograph on plain paper verses photo paper. (with both papers being thicker than the description) I did not get the better paper upgrade on vistaprint since the cost would have greatly exceeded the cost from the other printer.

As an example I took a photo of the new card against the old. I've noticed while viewing in sunlight they have the saturated look also.

I just ordered from moo.com. I'll let you know how that turns out. I have used vistaprint in the past and they're decent for the price.

I ALWAYS order from Vistaprint.com - and I always get the glossy finish. If you get the matte, you will notice a difference in color because it's not as sharp as the glossy; it's like a picture in the newspaper, dull and not very eyecatching. Spend the money and get the glossy; it is WELL worth it. The colors came out perfect as well! I not only had business cards made up by them, but postcards as well.

My husband's boss also orders exclusively from them. I design all their invoices, order forms, business cards, brochures, door hangers, etc... and vista print does an excellent job and gets everything perfect each time.

When you want to make an impression on people about your business and all you have is a business card, don't be cheap - you want to WOW them. If they are impressed with your personality and your business card, you're more than likely going to stick out in their memory and they will come to you vs. another photographer with a crummy business card. Crummy business cards tell them you don't care enough about your business to have top notch cards, so what are they going to expect from you for photos?

I am not intending to offend anyone with this advice. Please don't take it that way. You have to put on a good face for potential customers. First impressions and all that............ :)

I just ordered from staples.com, I will let you know when I get them how their print quality is.

Just came in here to post this.
Got my cards from Vista.
Tried them out. 250 free premium cards with like $5 shipping.
Very dark. I was using a dark design to begin with so it really makes the cards look bad. Much darker than my design. Id say a full stop darker to give you an idea. I wasnt very impressed with the paper they use either. Very thin and cardboard feeling. I guess just standard card. I could have bought some stuff from wall-mart and printed it myself.
The quality of the ink wasnt bad. The details came out well. The text wasnt blured just too dark.

For 5 bucks it wouldnt have been bad had my design not have been a dark one in the 1st place. But as it is they are pretty unusable. So it was a waste of 5 bucks for me.

I ordered mine from overnightprints. VERY happy with them. You can get coupons and discount codes with a quick search online. I spent about 50 for 1000 cards, and couldn't be happier. I really like the rounded edges I got with them. Next time I order will definitely be through overnightprints.com. Good price, excellent turnover, and I'm very happy with the cards.

[350D_Noob]

That's one of the reasons I got it. I THINK I'll like the size, but I'll have to see when it get here. Should be soon.

[auroraskye]

I like Overnight Prints I am very happy with them. Moo cards are very cute, but in a way too kitschy for a professional IMO.

[TXLEBER]

Just got an email from MPIX. They are having a half off sale on their biz cards.

I highly second this statement. I ordered cards from vistaprint and was actually quite pissed off at the results. I ordered from www.gotprint.net and got the cards back just today. I almost fell out of my chair at the quality of the cards. They far surpassed my expectations. I got 500 cards on 14pt stock with rounded corners which where gloss and UV coated on both sides for $30 shipped. Here's the design I created for the front side. Had a similar design on the back:
