My Moo cards just came in. Business, mini and post cards.
Really impressed with the quality. It's cool that I can put different pics from my portfolio on each card. It's a good way to show off your portfolio and I let clients pick their favorite card, hopefully they won't just toss these like generic looking business cards lol. Plan to offer Moo for clients/models who want their pics on cards...

i LOVE the quality and feel of them. when i try to put my own text from indesign it always comes out a little pixilated though. did you use their text editor?

thx. Agreed they have a great feel to it. And the pics printed great.
I added text with Moo's text editor and it looks fine. I pixelated the text here so my address is not all over the web lol. Hint: the Twilight actors are currently staying in our building while shooting ;)

oh no, i know that you meant to do that.:D i just was commenting that was my only problem with them. moo is really great though.

i messed up my info (really dumb of me) and they just told me to throw them away and refunded me so i could re-order.

It's a great idea to offer them to your clients like you said. If i was a model, that would be the best way to sell myself, an awesome portrait on the business card.

I actually put the wrong website on my cards, decided on another domain name. I wonder if they'd refund me so I can reorder too :)

Yeah, I think it'd def appeal to models' vanities, nice pics of themselves on their cards ;)

I'm loving it. Used use their minicards, but will be doing the next batch of business cards from them. Their option to add as many images into 50 cards is just too cool :-)

I hadn't thought about offering it as a service, but will certainly look into it. Thank you for the idea :-)

The quality on Moo cards is excellent - nice heavy card, quality printing, fast delivery. Not the cheapest cards but the pocket portfolio makes up for it :)

Your cards look awesome dude.

They have some really awesome stuff, I just wish they would offer 'real business card' sizes too.

I'm going with Moo from now on. I just got my ~$50 worth of business cards form Vista Print.. even after upgrading to their 100lb stock paper, it was pathetic. That was a $50 lesson learned, stick with Moo if you're happy with the quality!

If you don't mind me asking how does the color accuracy on the cards compare to your computer. I ordered a sample pack and was extremely disappointed in how dark the cards came out.

I had some Moo samples sent. I guess I was over expecting the results. I was a bit disapointed in mine. I think I will still make the order for real ones as the customer will never be more pickey than I am. But I just didnt like the half toning on the images.

I have used them quite often. Always excited when I get the package! I stopped using them for my business cards, but I still use them for my Senior Rep Cards. I choose the best shots of my Senior Reps to print on the cards, then send them to school with them to hand out to their friends. It's really helped promote and bring business to my Seniors portrait program. And the kids LOVE having their photos on their own "business card."

I've always had great quality from moo, I only order the "green" paper. My only qualm is that the quantity isn't greater for a better price. Then again, the places that offer 5000 cards for $20 usually deliver shotty results. I wouldn't use them for my postcards or flyers by any means, but those minicards are great for throwing in bags at trade booths!

Very cool. I would have to pick one with Brittney, although I don't think you'll have many lasting too long.
