I was going to say, photoshop has variable DPI, like if you open a digicam picture its huge, and/or really high DPI. Maybe try setting it to 300DPI, or making the image size, 5x or so and then work with it shrunk down. Then printing it may take some extra effort, DPI can be changed in image size, or canvas size, i forget which.

I've used a high DPI setting in photoshop with my own business card - looks great. Just make sure you are using a good printer and have high quality ink - you should be fine.

you guys, i was being sarcastic. if you print a 72dpi image, it'll print. it won't throw an error and tell you to use a higher dpi.

printing aside, photoshop sucks at handling type. i'm more worried about the design than whether he prints at 600dpi vs 300.

I make my business card in photoshop and they came out great.

Gotta say that Photoshop is pretty much enough in most cases.

One tip about the Fonts. Only use Clean and professional Fonts. So don't use those fonts what are used on Metal Rock sites or something So it must be easy to Read
