Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I can certainly help you out with a card. Can you let me know what leo photo in particular you would like to see used. Also, I can save an image without the extra text. You can send photos and contact info to: ryanroth@suscom.net. The larger the photos the better.
Thanks for the opportunity.

I agree, I like that that one is better to read... I should have filled in the "front" lettering. Such as this :

Not to butt in and point out the obvious (I didn't go through this whole thread either). Web graphics are at a very low resolution (usually 72 dpi or lower). Anything pulled offline is inappropriate for print. You want minimum 300 dpi to be able to print clean graphics.

Hey Stephanie, I did mention this earlier to them. To quote myself...
Just an FYI with these business cards…. You should really be building these files at 600 DPI, or at least 300 for the best results. If you just grab the jpg from here, the quality will really lack. Stretching or increasing the DPI will distort them as well. Also, most printers require at least a 1/8in bleed as well, so everything can be cut to size without errors in cutting/cropping. So essentially, the cards should be 3.75 x 2.25 in size. Make sure everything is tabbed in at least 1/2 in from the 3.75 x 2.25 dimensions to ensure nothing will get cropped. Most printers will not even print without a bleed.
Another important thing with printing is the color. Right now these photos are in RGB color and they need to be in CMYK color. There’s not a huge difference, but there definitely is with any black values. Also, you should print these out, actual size and look at them. There's a big difference looking at them on a screen, and seeing them in hand.
A lot of printers can print high quality jpg or eps files, but some still want full control. If that's the case, they'll need your source file as in: illustrator, photoshop, quark, or indesign. Most companies use Quark. Along with the source file, you'll have to provide the fonts used.
I really think you should take all of this into consideration before trying to take one of these images somewhere. If you’re going to invest $50-100 in cards, I’d want them to look their best. This is just my 2 cents...

See, told you I didn't read the whole thread! Just the first 2 pages!
I just grew concerned when someone was pulling web graphics off of someones site to build the business cards.
And I would have to disagree with you stating Quark is the industry standard. It's on it's way out the door (THANKFULLY). InDesign is taking over where Quark left off. Sadly, their will be a number of companies that will take a long while to catch up with the rest. The company I work for is still using OS9 and Photoshop 5! I hate when the Quark and Pagemaker jobs come in!
As long as he provides a high resolution PDF, their should be no problems. The majority of printing companies have an editing software in their Adobe Acrobat that allows them to edit the PDF. We use Pitstop.
