Woohoo go us! (dev at moo)

A recent client had Moo biz cards and the quality of the card itself was awesome and very thick. They had a photo on one side that looked great, but the side with their information was kind of blurry. Is that just from them not doing something right in the creation of the card or just from the type of card stock Moo uses?

  There are a lot of things that can go wrong at various points in the process of putting the details in the ui and getting a printed card out the other end, and there will always be bad batches. I'm not sure that its a general problem with the paper stock though. Did your client mention the problem to customer service? There's a chance that he/she could get the cards reprinted.

  I received 50 cards from Moo this week. I love the shape and the paper quality and cutting are very good. They also upgraded my shipping for free, which was nice of them. However, the print quality is pretty poor--the text is visibly grainy. Might be my fault as I had to upload the whole card as a 600dpi image, but I'd expect that to be sufficient. I used the recycled paper option. I'd go with Moo in the future if I could be confident the print quality would be fixed.

    Did you make sure the text in your image was not anti-aliased? Anti-aliasing is a hack for monitors, not printers.

Could you elaborate on the different size your cards have? As I understand, the size is perfectly normal by European standards, and might make American customers stand out. What I'm wondering is why you don't offer the US-sized cards to customers who may prefer them for reasons such as being able to fit it into a business card holder? Reading the reddit thread[1], a lot of people scoffed at the size and chose other brands over yours simply due to the size. There might be some interesting things to be learnt and taught if you get some guys to pick their brains about what they think. At the very least from a PR point of view.
