Guide Review - Photo Lab Review - Review of MOO.com

It's hard not to intuitively like a company that is willing to call themselves "Moo." Moo.com is a photo printing company that does not print traditional prints and enlargements. Moo.com focuses on business cards, greeting cards, postcards, and half sized business cards called "minicards."

Moo.com certainly isn't the cheapest printing option for business cards but it is their quirky products that really catch a photographer's eye. The minicards are often affectionately called "minimoos" by customers and are the width of a standard business card but 1/2 the height. Photographers are using these cards for everything from give away bookmarks, to short run coupons, to gift tags, and dozens of other uses. The sticker books are great for adding finishing touches to product packaging or for senior portrait customers to trade with friends (they work fabulously for students to put in each others' yearbooks).

In addition to the quirky products, Moo.com offers an option that both sets them apart from the competitors and sends photographers back to Moo.com time and time again. Moo.com's "printfinity" option (a no additional cost option), allows customers to use a different photo on every item in their order. This means a pack of 100 minicards can have 100 different images. A pack of 25 greeting cards can have 25 different images. This extreme customization makes Moo.com an excellent choice for anyone with short run printing needs.

Print quality is very good and the ordering system clearly shows cropping of images so there are no unpleasant surprises when and order arrives.
