I wonder; how or what sequence does one use to cut business cards from a sheet using crop marks.
For example, using the card that Jeff Harrison created in this thread <click me> second post, from a 2 x 4 sheet.
OK. I think I got it now.
Thank you Jeff. I do appreciate your time. As they say "You da Man"
Thanks Paul. Your description was just bout what I had visualized for cutting business cards.
Both Jeff and yourself have enlighted me. Appreciate the time. Thanks.
We normally do a 12 up print on letter sized sheets. That's when we use our one color small press.This way we can take teh printed sheets and use our business card slitter. It's far quicker than cutting using the larger guillotine.
For cards with bleed we have to use the guillotine because the slitter doesn't do a double cut.
This is what my business cards with bleed (0.125") looks like. We cut first from the end that feeds...most like the pressman will feed the cards from the top.
It all comes down to what you feel comfortable doing.
<Paul McGee> wrote in message news:78021@coreldraw.com... Then 4" to cut down the centre, leaving two strips of cards on each side. Then usually 2" to cut both those. NOTICE the centre cut first to minimize cumulative error!!!!! NEVER cut from just one side when you have an even number of strips--i.e. don't cut 2" three times!
