What's a good software program to use to print cards? I want to print graphics and text on business cards and I want to print on both sides.

Most word processors have templates for perforated biz card sheets, either built in or from the vendor website.

For example, I use libreoffice and it has the template for the Avery cards I use.

I used to use the Avery software, but now that it is Web only, it doesn't work as well as when I had it loaded on my computer. They have lost a lot of functionality, and the software that worked well is no longer supported.

I have gone to using Microsoft Word to print cards and labels. For this purpose it works equally well on both a Mac and a PC.

Not for business cards, but the Magic Set Editor is great for 'standard' collectible card games (Magic the Gathering, Axis & Allies Minis, etc)

For business cards, MS Word as above.

I use MS Publisher. As discussed, it has a template for Avery pre-perforated biz cards, same as MS Word. I prefer Publisher over Word, but it really is just personal preference.

I use it to print out unit rosters for my 2e BattleSystem games. Works perfectly.

If you want free software, try Scribus, a free knock-off of MS Publisher. Cheers!
