Business cards go 2.0
In the June issue of Business 2.0 I read an interesting article about Moo.com and how they allow you to create personalized mini cards. I was in the market for some new business cards so I decided to give moo a shot and get something different than the norm.
The cards turned out perfect, exactly what I wanted. I'm not meeting people everyday, constantly swapping cards, so a box of 100 cards for $20 bucks is perfect. Ordering a box of 1000 regular business cards just doesn't make any sense, they would go stale long before I ever used them up. Plus with the Moo cards, the cost is so low, and the customizing process so simple, I can order up a new unique batch whenever I want something new, without feeling like I've wasted a bunch of money and paper.

Hi John,
I used the jpeg templates provided from Moo to get the sizing and dpi correct. I created two different jpegs (one in orange, the other blue) in Fireworks at 300 dpi and then uploaded both versions to moo. The final print quality on the fonts was very good. The only special thing I did for the fonts was to set the anti-aliasing to 'crisp'. Here's the link to the moo format guide.
