I want to include my photograph on my business card. How can I get the best result?

Begin by remembering that the size of the photograph, when printed on the business card, will be thumbnail size in order to fit pleasingly on the business card. A standard business card measures 2 x 3.5 inches, and by convention there is a 1/8th inch "border" of white space on all four sides. This means the live area of the card is 1 3/4 x 3 1/4 inches so the maximum height of the photograph is 1 3/4 inches.

For best results, give us a photograph that is as close to the final size as possible. If submitting the photograph as a digital file, use 300 dpi resolution, again in a size as close to the final size as possible. Acceptable file formats are Encapsulated Postcript (eps); Tagged Image File Format(.tif) or JPEG (.jpeg) if the resolution is high enough.
