I don't see them as ever replacing my business cards or my postcards, they're a great compliment. I just wish that there was some kind of discount available if you ordered 500 or 1000 at once. Tim - there were a few b+w cards in my set, by Alison Grippo, and they came out SO well. They were nice and crispy and striking. She's printed with them several times her own self, I imagine she'll be along to put her two cents in soon. Ms. Jen makes a good point… and the Altoids tins are the perfect carrying case.

My favorite part of the Moo cards is that you can get 100 different photos for $25. Yes, I can order a large run of postcards at a cheap price, but they are all the same artwork. Then there is size... I love the fact that I can stuff 40-50 of them in a small Altoids tin in my handbag and people want them.

Most of my flickr uploads are the equivalent of 4"x6" 300dpi scans. One minor thing I saw was that the online crop choice was not always reproduced as chosen so you can't be too precious with those choices. I've also wondered about the repeat cost and whether there is a comparable local digital printing option but then they are unlikely to print directly from flickr so the time savings in dealing with a printer to produce something similar might make the difference.
