A while back I heard (from either Mike or one of the 200-odd blogs I read) about custom printing company MOO. Never really had any reason to take advantage of their service until today, when I realized their mini-cards would be perfect for an event I’m planning. And so far I’m impressed!
About two hours ago I started designing the series of cards using my local photo archive. I started with eight different photos, scaled, cropped, and resized to my little heart’s delight, then narrowed the selection to five favourites… and as of half an hour ago they’ve been ordered. Almost everything went as smooth as silk: the only glitch was that the templates they provide are at a different resolution than what the website says, but they’ve both got the same aspect ratio so everything worked out. $DEITY willing and the creeks don’t rise, they should be here within a couple of weeks… which’ll be just in time.
I recall talking to you about them… but I’m sure you heard it from someone else first 😉
I’m looking forward to seeing how they turn out. I was interested in making myself some, but never really had anything worth doing it for. I recall some early horror stories of long delays across customs, as well as $$$ in brokerage fees. Hopefully you have a better experience!
“Hooray! Your order is in the mail.”
“your moo minicards are inside* [*how very exciting.]”
The cards came in the mail a few minutes ago (with a $7.97 customs fee, boo). They’re fantastic… better than I could’ve hoped. I’ll have to post photos at some point.
