BEST QUALITY - Use a Professional Photographer. Look in the Yellow Pages under Photographers-Portrait.

Please understand you want to use an experienced portrait photographer.

Taking the picture is only 20% of what you need from your photographer to get your business cards right.

To obtain the best quality on your business cards have your photographer give you an original 3" x 5" color match print.

NEXT TO BEST QUALITY - Use a Professional Photographer with Digital Camera Studio.

Photographer MUST use a 3.0 Megapixel Camera or better. Photographer is to take your picture as a TIFF using high resolution.

Note: We suggest using a image size of a minimum of 1600x1200 pixels to obtain the best results with a digital photo. (Generally the larger the file size the better the original)

If you are using your own Camera for convenience, Please refer to your manual and MAKE CERTAIN your Camera is set for the HIGHEST possible Resolution.

Example...image size: 3264x2448 pixels, FINE or SUPER FINE, TIFF or JPEG

(At the HIGHEST Resolution Setting, Your Camera will store the LEAST number of pictures.)
