I have uploaded my latest screencast, Episode 025, to screencasters.heathenx.org. This screencast illustrates how to create a business card using the available business card template included with Inkscape.

I actually use the business card template often here at work. I do quite a bit of communicating with my vendors through the use of email. Most of the time my vendors will include company name, phone numbers, email address, and other information as part of their email signature. I often take this information and cut-n-paste it into Inkscape so that I can make a generic business card of sorts. I’ll print that off and place in my Rolodex. I can easily find information about my vendors in either Thunderbird or my Rolodex for future use.

Obviously, one can use Inkscape to make business cards for themselves or others. If you intend to print from your exported bitmap then I recommend that you change the dpi from 90 to 300. This will ensure a high resolution print out. Scribus and OpenOffice are other applications that can produce business cards too but this just gives me another excuse to use Inkscape.
