My business cards have arrived
I got them from Moo. 50 of them in fact, and for a very reasonable price.
And Moo, bless them, describe business cards as greetings for meetings. Which I think is quite wonderful.
If I had any gripes, it would be that the quality of the printing on the front isn’t great. As you might be able to see, it looks slightly tired around the edges.
According to Stephen (who knows about these things) it’s because they use digital printing. Indeed, Wikipedia’s entry for digital printing tells us that:
The Ink or Toner does not absorb into the substrate, as does conventional ink, but forms a layer on the surface and may be fused to the substrate by using an inline fuser fluid with heat process(toner) or UV curing process(ink).
So because the ink doesn’t absord into the card (or substrate, for you jargoneers) it can flake when the cards are cut.
Or something like that.
I don’t actually mind the effect. Each card looks like a well-read book. Which can’t be a bad thing for a writer.

I like the message and the way you have used it. Also the casual mention of your name. Don’t just be satisfied with the quality. If you are unhappy have them redo it or get another printer.
Also 50 cards should last you about a fortnight if you follow my advice and strive to give out 3 per day with the intent of distributing 1,000 per year minimum.
It’s a great card. Share it. http://www.businesscardtobusiness.com
