I borrowed the e-cigarette-forum logo for the backdrop, but I also direct inquiries to this website :)

Print this at 225ppi and you will have a business card. 3.5' x 2'

Can I get "Printing for Dummies" please? How do I make it print business card size?

I run Linux almost exclusively now so I forget exactly what to do in windows. Open it in a web page instead of the image previewer windows uses and click print. Somewhere you should find settings for resolution, dimensions, size etc, somewhere after clicking preferences, printing preferences, page setup or whatever. For resolution, 225dpi or ppi. For dimensions/size, 3.5x2in (it actually is 3.5002, so don't worry :p)

If you use FireFox, you can go to the first page and right click the image, then click View Image. That will display it in your browser.

Let me see if I can publish PDF's in linux and I will put together a sheet of them for each image. Or did you want one in particular?

Note: I am finding that with the back logo, some words are hard to read at 225ppi...working on this issue

OK I made the font ever so slightly bigger, as the space allowed. I corrected the typo (thanks Antha), made the background logo more transparent. Tried printing, again at 225ppi (3.5inx2in), and it is much more readable. Keep in mind it's a lot of info for a business card, so people will have to look closely! You can always make them bigger and keep them in your back pocket.

The third one is easiest to read, just black and white with no logo.
