Besides the content itself of course, you should check if the font styles, font formatting and font color all match your business card theme. You will be surprised as to how some people actually mismatch their font style and formatting with the theme of their color business cards.

Things to check on your images – The third thing to check when printing business cards are your images. The most important thing to check here is the appropriateness of the image, as well as its resolution. Whatever you are inserting in your color business cards, be it a logo or a photograph, the image must be appropriate to the theme. Make sure that the color scheme of your image matches the overall color scheme of the business card. You must do this to get a more coherent and beautiful business card design.

Besides that, you should also of course check the resolution of your image. A lot of beginner designers actually make the mistake of using low resolution images in their business card drafts. Using these low-res images will cause them to look fuzzy once they are printed in business cards. That is why it is important to always check if your images are in the highest resolution possible. A value of 300dpi or larger is best for business card printing so that the images come out crystal clear with not fuzziness.

Things to check on your draft settings – Finally, there is also a need to check your draft settings. For example, you should always check your dimensions if it is set to the proper business card size. You might also want to check if your color settings are set to CMYK (Cyan Magenta Yellow Black) since that is the standard color mode used in professional business card printing. Finally, you might want to check if you are using the right file format. Some printers prefer using .psd or .pub for printing, while others are cool with using images such as .bmp and .jpg.

Whatever the case, you should check your draft settings several times over to make sure that they are indeed set properly for business card printing. Believe me, it is better to set these things now, than be surprised at the changes made after printing.

So those are the standard list of items to check in your business card designs. If you follow these standard checks right, your business cards should be 100% ready for business card printing.
