moo.com: printing business cards... deception![UPDATE2:resending]

Mar. 25th, 2009 23:32 by sdelucaPermalink | TrackBack: http://stephanedeluca.com/trackback/863 | del.icio.us logoDel.icio.us — updated on Apr. 1st, 2009 15:18 exists for 3 years & a month ago — Rate:

Recently I gave a try to moo.com, an oline service that can print business cards for you and others things.

The site looks pretty good and the user interface is quite simple. So I decided to give it a try.

I created this colorful card, a recto and a verso with a good resolution:

moo.com quickly print and shipped the cards and I received it about one week after I ordered. Alas, the result is quite poor, look at it:

As you can see -- the color is really over saturated and the teint is yellowish!

The print resolution itself is okay -- when you see the cards.

I dropped a mail to them and wait for an answer. I keep you posted.

[UPDATE Fri. March 25 2009] Apparently, after looking at the issue, moo.com decided to reprint the cards. I REALLY APPRECIATE THEIR EFFORT. They are very quick at fixing issue. That's a good point. Let's see the result.

[UPDATE Tue. April 1st 2009] Just received a mail where they say that the first print had suffered from a technical printing issue and the reprint looks goo. He sends it to me. Goood! Can't wait to see it.
