Has anyone ordered from them and is the price as much as it says it is. For example for the buisness cards its 39.95 for 400. I want to know after they send you the proof do they charge extra or its 39.95 and shipping only.

It says  make sure you provide a valid and active email)
1-2 Business Days to produce a proof. (IS THIS EXTRA aside from the 39.95)?
We will email a proof*. Proof must be approved before printing.
After approval: 2-3 Business Days to print. Customized Items might take longer.

If any model has ordered how was her experience like. If you prefer you can send me a message.

Thank you
Soni

Why make OMP business and comp cards?  Get them done professionally.

I've never quite understood why you'd want business or comp cards that have OMP's logos and info sprayed all over them.  They still do, right?

We signed a model recently who had a stack of OMP cards with OMP written all over it.  How amateur.  She had to toss them in the garbage.  Your agency logo goes on your comp cards, if you're a professional model... not some Internet modeling site name.

OMP business cards are really silly.

Holla atcha boy. I'll design and get your business card printed. It won't be $39.99 though, you won't get a corney template based business card stamped out from me.

I use gotprint.com.  I got 5000 2-sided color cards for $100.  Pretty good deal, great quality, and I'll be well sick of the design long before I can pass all those out.

I agree...I have seen the quality of the cards first hand and I certainly would not want them...For all intent and purposes, you can go to VistaPrint.com and get free cards and only pay the 3.95 for shipping. At least it will then be your card, but there will be the vistaprint logo on the back of the card...still, it is a much better card...Compcards...Without question...Get them done right from a good printer

I ordered some OMP business cards once. They never sent them to me. And when I wrote to them and sent them a copie of my statement that indicated that they had charged my accoutn they still didn't send me my order. All I got from them was in their own twisted ways a SHOWCASE image. I guess if I wanted any more showcase images I will just have to cough up an other $29.99. Bravo Magic Image Photography

OMP has pretty cool t-shirts! I wore mine because I would get people asking me if I was a model or something ... LOL It would lead to me explaining to them that I am a photographer which is always good for potential business. ModelMeyhem should have shirts for sale!

I ordered a Silver Year Package.  It came with comp and business cards.  It took FOREVER to get them, but the quality is pretty good.

I don't know much about quality wise, I guess.  I've never found a real reason for comp cards.

Why bother? If you go to something like coloritprinting.com you can download a template for business cards and get something like 1000 for $75.

I did postcards instead of business cards! There's lots more room for an eyecatching image on the front, and it makes a big difference.

I dunno much about business cards. I create my on my computer, print 'em and cut them at Kinkos. It don't cost much at all!!!! 

As for the t-shirts ... I've been wearing torn blue jeans, and t-shirts I buy from the bands on MySpace for cheap. Goes good with my black leather biker jacket. I was born a rocker and have not changed one bit! So the t-shirt I got from OMP is about all I've really used from OMP's store!

Don't waste your money !  Get some printed professionally the way you want them, without the OMP spam all over them.

I've actually seen the OMP comp cards and the quality of the printing is not that bad.  The issue is their stamping of their logo on there.  It would be one thing if it was a tiny tag on the edge of the card - most the commercial comp printers do that.  The OMP logo, however, was too large and looked like it was trying to be the traditional agency logo that generally goes onto a professional comp.  Not to mention the fact that many professionals look down on OMP, so it doesn't send a good message either.

I had a photographer give me a card she printed off her computer. Personally I don't care what kind of card someone has. If they are professional and good at what they do thats all that matters.
