Business Cards

[Ph0t0g]

I haven't tried these yet, but I think I am going to order a set to check them out... If your looking for new cards it might be worth a look at this sale price.

I just ordered some. They should be here in the next couple days. I'll let you know how they look.

I posted about this last week. But I'm having a hard time figuring out the mpix press software thing. I set up my card according to the size limits of Vista and overnightprints.com, but when I transfer it into the press program, it's not sized appropriately. *sigh* I'm getting frustrated. Anyone have any advice?

[bjarrell]

I had the same problem. I had to make the card in the press software. It was alot of trial and error. Hopefully they'll come out right. When I previewed the image, it looks like everything is centered. We'll see.

Hmm, well, digging around, I found this link:

maybe this will help me a bit.

Looks like I have to make a couple of orders.

Anyone trying the metallic print cards?

[bjarrell]

I thought about using metallic, but I was afraid it would be too much for the photos I was using.

Christie - even using the sizing info above, I still had problems. I would crop the image to the specified size (3.75in X2.25in) and when I inserted it into the mpixpress program, I would have to resize it again in the mpixpress.

I have been ordering business cards from them for a few months now. i LOVE them! they are perfect. I have both single sided as well as double sided.

i found the mpix business cards to be FAR subpar and far more expensive than the beautiful 2-sided color glossy ones i ordered from americasprinter.com.

i got like over 1000 cards for $65.

i got one small box from mpix for like 40 bucks. and they were a lot flimsier than the AP ones.

Yup, me too. Oh well, I'm just too darned frustrated to sit here and get it to work.

Off to check them out :) Thanks!

I've ordered 1000 double sided, glossy business cards for $56.25 from Overnight prints. I am pleased with their quality and they are also a lot cheaper than mpix. I have not seen any mpix cards in person though.

Even with 50% off, it doesn't seem like a good deal.

Lisa,

I just got the sample kit in the mail from overnightprints.com and I think I agree with you they are cheaper and the quality of the samples they send seems very nice. And they are cheaper than MPIX's sales price regularly.

I have been using WHCC and love everything about them. They also have EXCELLENT customer service. It was a little bit of the trial and error sizing situation you had with MPIX, but once I figured it out, it was easy breezy.

I just got my cards from Mpix. I will never use Mpix again. The printing is horrible. I should have listened to the forum.
