Is it possible to design Business Cards

I'm a newcomer to the world of Photoshop Elements in fact I only loaded the Programme onto my computer 10 minutes ago.
Whilst browsing thru Photoshop Elements I noticed that in the "Create" section whilst it can do most things, I didn't see if you could
design Business Cards, has anyone tried this & with what success.

  Try Vistaprint. They have a host of templates and you simply enter your details on line.
You can get 250 free (you pay postage only) if you don’t mind their small logo on the back.
I’ve used them myself and it’s a very good service - depending on your location.

    There is NO way to get the Unix (=Solaris) version of FM 8 to run
    under OS X. It's an executable compiled for the SPARC processor,
    and I don't think Apple has made a SPARC/Solaris emulator... :-)

  • How to create 10-up business card design with adobe... perfectly designed business card guidelines

    each side of the page has to be equal so the prints can be cut.
    2 x 3.5 cards
    also if you guys have any options for printing my first business cards and cutting them myself i would be very grateful
    i am very good with photoshop and generally all computer programs. if you need more details feel free to ask.
    thank you.

    You can print with multiup, but the pages generally are scaled a bit and that is probably not what you want. A lot depends on how you created the business card. The classic way is to use something like WORD an create multiple copies on the screen. Avery has templates for use with their card stock. Doing this with Acrobat is not a typical workflow, but might be able to be done if you play around with the multiup printing or such, but I would not depend on it.

  • How to create Business cards in Iphoto

    Hi There:
    Would anybody know if it is possible to create business cards in Iphoto. If not any ideas. Thank you.

    That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
    You need a layout program like pages or pagemaker or InDesign

  • Control to layout a design for instance a business card

    From my cold fusion app I want to have a control (any adobe control) to lay out a design for a business card . Is there any control that I can out of the box? I would prefer to use a Flash control.
    Thanks in advance.

    Dear,
    If you have ABAP team with you, an email to user SAP inbox will trigger from each transaction.
    We implemented this for PR level for each 1200 individual user / management release authorities, which informs by an email about the status of PR. once the final release done based on purchase group - an email will trigger to central procurement department all responsible persons indicating purchase order awaiting.
    NOW material rejection - reference to 122 and 102 movement is under study. Once any material rejected the system send email to procurement, stores personnel and management informing the material was rejected.
    Similar, based on the presentations and indepth meeting held with ABAP and FUNCTIONAL teams, workflow can be trigger on each event (not sure the all processes you mentioned in your post). But I hope possibility exists.
    THE ONLY POINT YOU SHOULD KEEP IN MIND AND INFORM MANAGEMENT - SYSTEM PERFORMANCE WILL AFFECT A LOT. SYSTEM WILL SLOW DOWN AS MANY WORKFLOWS EXISTS. CONSULT BASIS TEAM ALSO.

  • Designing a Double-Sided business card in InDesign

    Hi All
    I would like to design a double-sided business card using InDesign and I have just downloaded the app. I went to create a new document but there is no option for "US business card" size as it states in the tutorial. Is this because I am using the UK Cloud? If so, how do I get around this?
    Please advise how I go about designing my card.
    Many thanks

    But this is what I mean.... the option isn't there.

  • Business card designer

    I have what I'd call "intermediate" Flash experience, but
    I've been asked to research a rather... ambitions project. Client
    wants a business card designer similar to what's used at
    printsmadeeasy.com and others like that. While I have no doubt I
    *could* code something like this from scratch, I'm pretty sure I
    don't want to. Has anyone here done anything similar to this before
    and have any good suggestions of where to start? Sets of components
    made for such a thing, maybe?

  • Printing of a logo and text on business cards, paper, etc.

    Dear reader(s),
    Let me introduce myself; my name is Matthew Hennessy from the Netherlands and I mostly PhotoShop, Illustrate for a hobby (for the last 5 years).
    In the past 5 years I have learned a lot when it comes to designing, but this isn't enough. A few weeks ago my boss asked me to design a new logo and new text, with the intention of using it on business cards, brief paper and envelopes.
    Now here comes the part you have seen coming, I really need to know a few things about the printing process, and the settings necessary to make a 'print ready' file. I have already done some research, but still some things are very unclear to me. If any answers could be given to the following questions, that would be more than appreciated!
    Questions:
    1. Crop marks - I have seen a lot of tutorials on the internet where people refer to 'crop marks', why are these necessary? What are they? What are they used for? How can I set the preferences and how can I see if I use the 'crop marks' correctly?
    2. Trim marks - I have seen a few people talking about this. Are 'trim marks' the same as 'crop marks'?
    3. Bleeding - this is something I really try to figure out, and already did my best but I'm not getting any wiser! Example given of my problem:
    I'm planning to (when this comes to an end), order business cards, brief paper and envelopes on Vistaprint (Dutch site). The preferred size is 1. 90mm x 52mm (complete document) or 2. 87mm x 49mm (cut off).
    What is the difference between these two sizes? I suppose this has something to do with the bleeding, but what?
    Now this is what confuses me, and I don't think I'm the only one:
    3.1. I made a new document in Illustrator CS5, with the 'complete document' measurements 90mm x 52mm (300DPI, CMYK). Do I need to input bleeding before I push ok?
    3.2. I made a new document in Illustrator CS5, with the 'cut off document' measurements 87mm x 49mm (300DPI, CMYK). Do I need to input bleeding before I push ok?
    4. Is there a checklist or anything to do this perfectly? As you can imagine I don't want to mess this up.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated, e-mail contact would be great too: [email protected]
    Thank you for reading, I will be around to look for replies! Thanks again!

    1. Crop marks - I have seen a lot of tutorials on the internet where people refer to 'crop marks', why are these necessary? What are they? What are they used for? How can I set the preferences and how can I see if I use the 'crop marks' correctly?
    Forget so-called "Crop Marks." Crop Marks and Crop Region are Illustrator-specific terms. It's an Illustrator feature that creates a set of (grossly oversized) printable marks on the Artboard for the printing house to use as trim indicators and/or (depending on version) to define a region for output when you export the file in certain formats. Other programs in Illustrator's genre don't even have this feature because it's really not necessary. Historically, it was Illustrator's workaround for its lack of a proper bleed feature and single-page limitation. I never even use Illustrator's Crop Marks. If I want trim marks to print, I simply draw my own.
    Trim marks is an industry term. Trim marks are short hairlines which align to the edges at which you want the paper to be trimmed after printing, but are placed outside the actual trim rectangular area so that they get trimmed away. In most projects destined for offset printing, it's a good practice to draw proper trim marks in the bleed area of the page. The print dialog also provides a Printer Marks feature that will cause trim marks (among other things) to print outside the Artboard. (You don't need to worry about that in this scenario.)
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    2. Trim marks - I have seen a few people talking about this. Are 'trim marks' the same as 'crop marks'?
    So as explained above, Illustrator Crop Marks is an Illustrator feature commonly used to draw trim marks. I don't use that feature. It wastes space.
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    3. Bleeding - this is something I really try to figure out, and already did my best but I'm not getting any wiser! Example given of my problem:
    Bleed is an industry term that simply means you want ink to print "right to the edge of the paper." That's not actually possible on a commercial offset press. So if the design requires "right to the edge of the paper" printing, you cheat: You print on a larger-than-final-size sheet, put trim marks to indicate the final size of the piece, and design so that anything that is supposed to "print to the edge" actually extends beyond those trim marks. Theoretically, if the physical processes of commercial printing were perfect, you could draw your design "just to" the trim. But paper expands and shrinks with humidity changes, Press sheets jog around a bit as they get picked up by the suction lifts and grippers and shoved and squished between the rollers. (It's a mechanical miracle that the process works at all, and has for over a century. A full-size CMYK offset sheetfed press is a marvelous piece of engineering.) After printing and drying the sheet is trimmed at the trim marks, and the artwork that extends beyond the trim marks is chopped off.
    Typically in commercial offset printing, 1/8 inch of "extra artwork" beyond the trim is sufficient to allow for the inaccuracies of the process.
    Now here's the thing: If you are working in the traditonal manner with a commercial printing house, you know the press size and sheet size that will be used for the project. You can do all kinds of things at the design stage to minimize unnecessary work at the printing house by "designing for the press sheet." For example, in the press houses with which I work, I would never deliver a business card project output file as a single-card image on a single-card-sized page. No conventional offset printer is going print business cards one-card-at-a-time on 3.5 x 2 inch sheets. They are going to "gang" (step & repeat) multiple images of the card on one press sheet.
    Typically, I would know in advance the press sheet size that is going to be used and the necessary space for gripper and press sheet margins. I would set up the software page to the size of the press sheet and arrange multiple instances of the card in that space. I would draw my own trim marks for each card in the array. If the sheet size is such that it will result in alot of paper just going in the waste bin, I may design some other piece in the otherwise unused area (a bookmark or hangtag, for example) and thereby get an "almost free" second document out of the press run. If the cards is designed to be printed on both sides, I will often arrange the page to accommodate "work and turn" printing, wherein both sides of the card gets printing on one side of the sheet, the sheets are simply flopped over and run through the press again. That avoids the need for a second press setup.
    But since everybody and his third cousin's nephew is now a "designer," many printing houses have set up "click & drag" printing solutions on the web. Such solutions make it "quick & easy" (not necessarily cheaper) for the neophyte and "idiot proof" for the printer by removing the above-described flexibility and designing "one size fits all" workflows. That's what you're chasing with the Vistaprint vendor.
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    I'm planning to (when this comes to an end), order business cards, brief paper and envelopes on Vistaprint (Dutch site). The preferred size is 1. 90mm x 52mm (complete document) or 2. 87mm x 49mm (cut off).
    What is the difference between these two sizes? I suppose this has something to do with the bleeding, but what?
    In the Vistaprint .ai template for design-your-own business cards I just downloaded to see what you're talking about, they have the artboard set to accommodate a design with bleed. You don't have to design bleeding elements, but the space is there if you do.
    The AI Artboard (page) is 90 x 52 mm. Think of that as your bleed area. If there are elements in your design that you want to "print to the edge" of the finished card, draw them all the way to the edges of the Artboard. The printer is, in effect, telling you that if you do that, then you will be providing enough "extra" artwork to accommodate the inherent variances in the printing/triming process.
    The (grossly overthick) 87 x 49mm red rectangle is the trim. So it effectively is the "trim marks". It represents the final card after it is trimmed down to final size. That's the size your cards will be when delivered. That roughly coresponds to the 3.5 x 2 inch dimensions that are considered the norm in the US. I don't know about what's the convention in Europe, but assuming it is the same as in the US, that's the size you want the cards to be. Business cards that are even slightly oversized usually end up in the trash can because they often don't fit pockets in card-carriers or plastic sleeves.
    The (grossly overthick) blue rectangle is the so-called "safe area". That's nothing more than a suggested "safe design margin" between your artwork and the trim. The idea is that you are supposed to keep any elements of the design that you don't want to risk getting "too close" to the edges of the final piece--or even getting chopped off by the trim--within that rectangle. Magazines and newspapers are also fond of providing "safe area" in their add space specs. I ignore them. I know what kind of visual "margins" I want in my designs and I know when I am risking getting too close to the trim. But an amateur designer may think it brilliant to "make a title as big as possible" and actually crowd text almost right up against the trim (in other words, poor design). Then he gets upset when the normal variance in the printing/trimming process causes the text to actually get cut on some of the finished pieces. By providing that rectangle, the printer is telling you "Don't blame us if some of your artwork is too close to the trimmed edge if you place that artwork beyond this rectangle."
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    3.1. I made a new document in Illustrator CS5, with the 'complete document' measurements 90mm x 52mm (300DPI, CMYK). Do I need to input bleeding before I push ok?
    3.2. I made a new document in Illustrator CS5, with the 'cut off document' measurements 87mm x 49mm (300DPI, CMYK). Do I need to input bleeding before I push ok?
    In the "idiot proof" template that Vistaprint has provided, they are treating the Artboard size as the bleed, and the red rectangle as the trim. So there is no need for you to include trim or bleed marks in your design.
    Just set up your AI document exactly as the template that Vistaprint provided. Better, actually use their document file and paste your artwork into it on the Layer named "Your Design". When arranging your artwork, leave the (poorly named) "Guides" Layer visible, but locked. Make any art elements (background fills, etc.) that you want to "print to the edge" of the finished card extend all the way to the Artboard edge. Keep all other design elements within the "safe margin" blue rectangle.
    All this is explained, by the way, in the See Accepted File Types link on the Vistaprint site.
    When done, delete the Layer named "Gudies." Deliver the file to the printer. I would not deliver the .ai file; I would deliver a PDF. If you insist on delivering as an .ai file, convert all text to paths (a practice I despise). If you deliver as PDF, simply choose File>Save A Copy... in Illustrator. In the resulting dialog, select Adobe PDF as the file type. In the next dialog, leave the top menu set to Illustrator Defaults, but set the compatibility popup to Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3). That should be fine.

  • How can I control the location(s) of business cards on the printed sheet?

    I have created a business card design in Pages--with an inserted image and a text block--and it is located on the upper left of the sheet.
    However, I cannot find a way to fill all the other spaces on the sheet with this same design--that is, to replicate it across the entire sheet.
    For example, I cannot find a way to copy the entire design and then paste it in all the other spaces on the sheet.
    Alternatively--trying another possible method--when I go to the overhead button named "Pages" (which offers choices of "10 up," "8 up," and "blank"), and choose "10 up," all that happens is that a second page (sheet) is added with all the spaces filled with a "Your name," etc., template rather than the business card design I created.
    By comparison, for example, in the Avery DesignPro software, there is an "All same" button that fills the entire sheet with the business card design that you've created. That's apparently not possible with Pages.
    Any ideas? Many thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    Gregg,
    The graphic in the upper left corner of each original card in the template is a placeholder. To use the placeholder, you drag a media file to the placeholder and your file takes on the size and shape of the placeholder. You will have to do this once for each card on your page. Drag to the placeholder, release. Repeat.
    As you have learned, the +Pages icon adds a page. Logical, right? It doesn't change what you already have in your document, just adds to it.
    I'm sure you will have other issues with templates, and we're happy to help you. Apple seems to use the templates to show off their niftiest tricks. That means that the templates are often complex and confusing to newcomers. As shortcuts to fancy documents, they are seductive traps. Just my opinion - not meant as critisism, offered to give you some perspective on the troubles you are having.

  • Frame in presentation for white business card

    Hi,
    I'm updating my companies business cards which have a white background. Is there a way to get a thin black line at the artboards edges that I could use when the design is put on a word document for presentation?
    It's just to see the outer edge in presentation, not in printed version.
    I guess i could draw a rectangle and have a black border, but is there another way to get the exact edges?
    Thanks for any ideas!
    / Arty_Party

    Arty Party,
    Someone that knows anything about Worst may tell you whether it is possible to add a border in the receiving document.
    Otherwise, it is probably best to create a special presentation version (which should also be suited for Worst in terms of colour (mode)). In that connexion, you could apply an outer glow or a drop shadow or something to lift it off the background.

  • Using Final Cut Logo on Business Card

    I am a video editor of trainer of Final Cut Pro and I am currently designing a new business card. Does anyone know the legality of including the Final Cut Logo on the business card(i.e. the Final Cut Studio Box image or a screenshot from within the program). I would love to use these images if possible as it tells prospective clients a lot without getting too wordy.
    Any thoughts or ideas,
    Much obliged,
    Adam

    As an Apple Certified Pro end-user for both Final Cut Pro and DVD Studio Pro I can confirm that you do in fact need to be a certified pro in order to use the Apple logo on your business card/website. And you can only use one logo despite multiple certifications.
    When you pass the certification exam they Email you a link where you can download the logos and there's also a form that explains how and where you can use the logos. You also get a nifty certificate in the mail that you can frame and hang in your office. FWIW you can not use the logo on a resume. Only websites and business cards, in this instance. (you can use the Apple Authorized reseller/etc. logos on ads too)
    Hope this helps you out...
    Answered?
    P.S. My Motion certification is next on the list oh and I challenged the exams also (not to brag or anything, but I earned it)

  • Can I send a business Card ?

    I regulary used the very useful 'send business card' function on my old phone when sending somes contact details to another phone.
    Is this feature available on the iPhone ? (I've searched and cannot find it)

    Hi Noisboy2006,
    I realy apologize to you from my heart. I did not want to hurt you, ore your feelings for your
    grandmother. And I respect your effort to help out.
    My post was ment like KevinBrown2 has pointet out.
    The sarcasm is directet toward the fact that we need this kind of work around, while Apple claims to offer most superior technics to the world.
    But this is of no use, if in their second generation iPhone the most simple actions,
    like copy and paste, ore attachmt. to SMS is not possible.( Is it os X ore not)
    By now using Apple Computer for 11 years, I am alarmed by the move of Apple,
    to ignore the basic needs to design software usefull and realy working. Because this is the reason why I buy there products and not the rest. If the software would be proper designed, than this thread would not flow over with surch for help. why do have the folks here have to struggle around in their place ?! I do not want to spend my time in discussion forum. I am not willing to play the Volontair Product Tester for Apple.
    Further I have wrote to Apple via the Feedback page.
    And last, my grandmother is now 92 and she has water in her legs so she can´t barely walk.
    she starts to forget what happend 5 min. ago. and I dont think thats funny. But honestly when I imagine her to ring the the doorbell of my client and hand them over a vCard, that I gave her a week before, telling them that my iPhone was not able to do that work, I realy have to smile !
    So please understand that in the statement of mine, the "Grandmother" is a nice alegorie for comfort and the wisdom using your time best and with passion.
    All the best to you.

  • HP C4680 all in one printer out of alignement when printing avery business cards.

    I recently purchased an HP C4680 all in one printer and have found
    that it will not print Avery clean edge C32028-25 business cards. It
    prints ok on plain paper and when you compare against the business card
    sheet everything is in the correct position. However when you print the
    actual cards the printed area creeps up the page and some of the print
    is off the cards ruining the sheet. I am using avery design pro
    software version 5. The print preview shows the printing area correctly.
    Please advise of a fix for this issue.

    I have the same problem with my HP Officejet Pro 8000 using Avery business cards.  I don't think HP knows how to fix the problem.  I was told by HP to select card stock as my paper type, but that is not on my menu.  I may have to adjust my PageMaker template to counter the creep.  You would think that this would be an adustment that could be made in the software. It amounts to 1/8" over the whole page.  I don't plan on much help from HP since I have not received any help in the past.

  • When I print business cards, they sometimes print 1/4 too high but not always.

    I have my business cards in a Word document using an Avery template. I have used the same file for years. I never had a problem with my Canon printer but after buying an HP Photosmart D110 I have had nothing but problems. When I print then they print about 1/4 inch too high ruining the cardstock and wasting ink. This doesn't happen all the time. Sometimes I print and they are perfect but when I go back and print another, the problem returns. This is the same card stock I have used for years and when it is inserted in the printer it doesn't matter if it is a single page or a stack of them. I have tried previewing the page before printing and the alignment is correct. I've tried printing to a PDF and then printing the PDF, same problem. I try it on the Canon and no problem. Only reason I bought this in the first place was the cartridges were cheaper and I do a lot of color printing and scanning!  I have just replaced the cartridges and did a head alignment so that is not the problem. I have tried it with regular paper and the problem persists. I'm ready to drop kick this thing and buy another Canon!
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Did you ever find a solution for this problem? I have no problem printing the business cards out on a Canon printer, or a different HP printer I used to have, but the D110 is nothing but a pain in the you know what !  I'm using publisher and the avery 8371 card stock,  I searched solutions for days and did everything possible but still they're not printing correctly!! I'm dissapointed in this printer, every time I have a problem with something it always seems to be an HP product!!!  Very frustrating because I never had to mess with any settings in the other printers I had, I would just put the file in, change the quality and click the print button with no problems. I'm ready to throw this printer out the window Anyway thanks in advance and I hope somebody can help me with this issue !!!
