Keep in mind that the resolution of your monitor is 72 dots per inch. A laser printer is going to be a minimum of 300 dots per inch and getting calling cards printed off-set by a good printer will be a minimum of 600 and possibly better. In other words, if you want an image to look good at 3/4" high on paper needs to look clear and crisp at about 3" high on your computer.
