I'm Stephen Moss and I'm a student at the New York Institute of Photography. I talked to a photo lab out in California who gave me a good deal on comp cards. If you are trying to build a profile, let me know and we can do a photo shoot and I'll have the lab make you comp cards.
Depends on how serious the model is. I also run my own auto body repair business. That's like trying to run a business with out a business card. Can it be done? Sure, but, it's not smart.

we do 5.5x8.5 comp (zed) cards & 9x12 printed portfolios for serious models & designers all the time! everything in the fashion world is 4/3rds. we had custom 4/3 focus screens installed in our Nikons to facilitate desired cropping & composition.
