I used illbuzz.com. They are great, fast, and have high quality paper. I opted for the rounded corners, making it 1000 cards for $45. Excellent service.
I second illbuzz.com. Quality prints, and the cheapest game in town for rounded corners. :-)

#42I've used iPrint several times. Once they completely screwed up the order (I received somebody else's cards) and once the quality was so-so, but in both cases they were very good at making it right. Overall I'd use them again.

#43Moo. I like them because you can still get the right information across and make use of real images I've taken ~ http://flickr.com/photos/bootload/tags/moo/page2/ The only comment I've had back is the 1/2 size is non-standard and easier to loose. Then again my competitive advantage is not in my business cards.
Re: Ask YC: Who do you use to print your business cards?
#44I was going to print my own but the cost would have been the same as Vistaprint if not more expensive (cost of perforated business card paper + ink is not insignificant) and not as professional-looking, so I was going to go with Vistaprint for the cheap prices. But I spent a good few hours browsing flickr "businesscard" tag looking for card designs I liked and where the people got them printed (if it was mentioned). I found that Print100.com was named a few times by some of the people with really beautiful cards..not only the design but the whole thing. I went with them...they're based in China and the last time I used their site it was pretty awful and slow, but they throw in free shipping.
I got http://www.flickr.com/photos/chix0r/1409350187/ at around $30 for 300 - not the cheapest around, but I love the results (double sided 4 color plus spot uv varnish) and it arrived via fedex in something like one week since I ordered them. I got a bunch of the cards braille embossed by someone else (I deal with a lot of visually disabled folks) and the paper was decently thick for that. Maybe I'm more partial to them because I was really disappointed with the quality of the cards I got printed the first couple of times around (local shops in LA)...hmm, dunno.
I will note that moocards are adorable and awesome for casual uses..like my personal email and number, as opposed to my business contact info. Got a whole bunch for free before and the size is tiny but everyone loves them :]

#45You don't need "business" cards.

#46moo.com! by far the coolest - everyone can be different and you can upload a library of a hundred snaps in one zip file.

#47http://www.overnightprints.com Used them for years. Fantastic quality, inexpensive.
If you do a quick search, you can usually find some pretty decent coupon codes on the net.
This is true of a lot of sites now that offer online discount codes. A quick google search will often save you 10-20% on purchases. I think I got 25% off our business card purchases and free shipping at overnightprints.

#48Am I the only person here who couldn't care less about business cards? Who groans at the very thought of them? I didn't think I was a dirty fucking hippie but y'all are making me wonder.
Do I still get to be startup guy?
Re: Ask YC: Who do you use to print your business cards?
#49Vistaprint is the total nuts. They used to give you some free cheapo ones too.
I've used them once and once was enough. The cards that I ordered were their premium variety but, when I received them, the card stock was poor and the cards were sloppily cut (meaning the bleeds looked poor). I would definitely pay more to use a more professional company.

Are you also happy that you're in a lower tax bracket because that means you'll pay less taxes? lol - I actually had someone say that to me last night. He probably doesn't like the idea of business cards either. Sorry - it's tax time here in the US and I have taxes on the brain...
