Re: [php-49] Business Cards - I designed my business cards using inkscape and saved as a png (don't know the resolution) and took it to Staples on 140th in Bellevue. The girl working there did a great job, giving me several proofs, with matte, glossy, and different contrast. She Aaron Evans Nov 7, 2009 9:50 AM
Re: [php-49] Business Cards - A late reply, but a bit of a warning about using PNGs. While the png format technically supports a dpi property, most apps that work with pngs ignore it for some reason, so you might run into some difficulty with your printing company.
