Maybe you could PM yakasoto, he's good with that sort of thing. I guess people use illustrator, not really sure.

Illustrator is good, but im not sure if it would be better then photo shop in this situation. Illustrator is awesome for logo's and drawings. But everything ive done in illustrator is could of done in ps. Its kinda preference...

You can use CS3, Corel...whatever. If he wants full color cards just make sure you leave margin. You can do a google for a full color business card template, or I have on in a PDF if you want.

The possibilities are endless. Depends on what your dad wants. And finding a good printer....I got one of those too. And they are cheap. Not cheap by quality, just cheap because they mass run cards so you get a great price...about $25 for 500 full color d/s shipped to your door.

lol idk, i honestly find that program far inferior to adobe. I learned how to use it, and was told it's one of the most widely used graphics programs for pros. Turns out its not. Ah, but that being said i have seen some sweet stuff come out of it.
