Need a printed actor headshot or model comp card?
Recently a young actor’s mom contacted me in a panic. Her son’s agent told her he needed printed headshots, specifically with his name at the bottom. She had no idea where to turn.
I did some research for her. There are a number of companies who print headshots and model comp cards. The vendor that had the most templates and options, however, was Zazzle.com. They have a ton of templates for comp cards and headshots.

You can order both digital downloads and prints. You have lots of paper options but if you’re not sure I’d default to the “most popular” selected.
For print headshots, again I’d keep it simple, and in the same style as the comp card:

Dimensions are typically 8×10, which is the crop size I use for headshots. Some agents want a white border and your name printed at the bottom. There are plenty of options to choose from.
I’d get digital versions of everything since other agents might require them.
Do you have a preferred printer for headshots or comp cards? If so I’d love to learn about them!
