Hi,
If you are focused on Photoshop, the best resolution is 300dpi

And you can choose the colour RGB, CMYK colour is a good for print but CMYK colour can representative different variations.

If you want to create your work on RGB go Image-Adjustment-RGB, if you want for CMYK just go Image-Adjustment-CMYK. Dont forget one important-Photoshop is for pixels. The nians of colours can be good, but if you print from Photoshop results cant be so good

Is the resolution must be chosen differently? Given the dimensions of the layout?

^^ Actually the business card dimension standard for North America is 3.5x2 inches. In Romania where you are it's 9x5 centimetres. It varies in different countries/regions... here is a chart from wikipedia for reference: Business Card Dimensions

Thanks for the advice. But I want to know how to recognize if the design (not only the business card, but also the broadsheet press) is eligible to run print.

Broadsheet printing is normally for newspapers. Is this what you are referring to?

Ok. In Photoshop check:
—- file resolution • (Image>Image Size...) to see what the number is. For most print jobs it should be 300pixels/inch (118.11pixels/cm).
—- colour mode • (Image>Mode>CMYK Color) CMYK is used almost all the time for print jobs
—- colour profile • (Edit>Assign Profile...) it should be fine if US Web Coated is selected. US Sheetfed is another popular profile, atleast it is in North America. But since you are in Lithuania (please tell me you like basketball :o) you can choose Europe General Purpose or Europe Prepress if those are available

Those are the basic steps for checking if your document is eligible for print. I hope this info helps
