biz cards

I print a lot of business cards for myself and others.  I use HP premium 
plus photo paper 9mil matte finish.  The matte finish is much cleaner than 
the glossy.  I've made some nice looking cards with photos on them for 
relativly nothing,  just print a page full and cut them apart as described 
below.  One trick I've learned, butt all the card edges together so you only 
make one cut per seem.

The only draw back is the 9 mil paper isn't quite as heavy as card stock.  
I've been told they make photo paper in card stock but I have never seen it.

I've attached an example of a flashy card for a local band.
