Page 2006 and AppleWorks 6 business cards

For the past few years, I've been using a DB template that came with AppleWorks 6 to generate standard 10-up sheets of business cards for a local volunteer organization's board members. Does Pages 2006 offer this kind of functionality?

http://www.iworkcommunity.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=search&query=
That iWorks site does have a 10 up business card template. Click on the link and then click on the download. When you click on the downloaded file it automatically opens the template and away you go.
Edit: Sorry. That link does not work. Go to the Template site and search for business cards. I got two different templates to pop up.

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.

Creating Business Cards in PSE 5.0

I have been making some Business Cards in PSE for about the past couple of months. It has been quite a learning process along the way. I am by no means an expert at this. Either with PSE and in making business cards.
Basically I am making the core of my card or many times all of it within PSE, and then going to Publisher and inserting my PSE created file, formatted as a TIFF normally, right into a Blank Publisher Business Card template.
My question is regarding the original resolution of my card in PSE. Because when you use any Type within PSE, it's size is tied to the resolution of your image. I have been creating my images as 300 ppi. But when I add the text for the card on there, it's always too small. And if I try and enlarge the text size to make it look normal, then it seems I can't get things to fit within the safe printing zone. I can't seem to get a middle ground here.
Should I not create my basic image with a resolution of 300 ppi? Should I go lower so that the Text (type) will be more in line with a 72 ppi image? I am afraid to go too low with the resolution fearing that the graphics and text won't look to good when printed. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Lee

Thanks so much! I am actually in the middle of still reading your book Photoshop Elements 5 - The Missing Manual. What prompted me to put this out to the forum was the section you have in the chapter for using Type in PSE where you explain very well about how the resolution of your image effects the size of your text. Before reading that I was kind of stumped as to why things looked different.
That makes better sense then to do all the main graphic stuff in PSE and then go to Publisher for all the rest.
The book is great by the way.
Regards,
Lee

Re: c4450 card stock (avery 8371 business card stock) margin printing problems

I have been dealing with this for a while now. Finally researched the problem and You are right! The printer only works with less than 110 lb paper stock. It says in the the specifications. I have to go buy a new printer. Even the photopaper jams and sticks.
Sorry HP, you have to do better than this. It uses tons of ink...sick of paying $37 for printer cartridges from HP.

nellang507,
Sorry to hear that you too have encountered the "HP Wandering Margin Problem" that occurs with sheet business card printing.
One issue is that most people don't know the 110lb stock specification or what to look for.
We had tried printing on both avery business card sheets (probably 110lb + stock) and cheaper generic business card sheets (probably less than 100lb stock) and had the same problem. Even 4 sheets of regular paper taped together on the long sides would print ok but not perforated business cards.
Here is one link to similar problems people have had as you: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-printing-questions/Avery-Business-Card-Printing-quot-WANDERING-MA...
Good luck with it!

Nokia business card reader for N97

When will Nokia business card reader be available for Nokia N97.

Hi Mikael
I have purchased the ABBY 2.0. When i downloaded it to N97 it said that the software is not compatiable with N97. I still went ahead with the same. It does recognise and sorts the business card but the camera is not initiated from the ABBY Application. I have to click a normal picture and then go to ABBYY and select the image and process.... Is it how it is supposed to work ?

I have Pages 09 and I have created a business card using the template but can't figure out how to duplicate it to the other 9 spaces on the page. I am and sure I am going to look daft coz its only the click of a button but I can't work it out Thanks

I do the following: Hold down the command key and highlight all the items to be reproduced. Then hold down option and drag the items from the first to each subsequent card.

Pages '08 Business Card Template Question

In Pages '08, is there a way to change the business card template page view to a single card view, allowing me to create one card that would automatically display itself in all 10 positions when the layout is changed to multiple card view? This can be done with the old Appleworks program, but I can find no way to do this with Pages. It seems I have to choose a card template, modify one of the boxes with my info, then copy and paste it into the other 9 boxes. Is this correct? If so, it is a step way behind the Applewoprks method.

Yes it is a step backwards, but herre is the way to work with it.
Create your one card, highlight all of its components, group them, then copy and paste it into the space below it perfectly. NOW DON'T TOUCH ANOTHER KEY!!! Instead, just repeat the paste function (Command+V) 3 times to fill the left side of the card stock. Now paste another one in the right top spot, select the right top, copy and paste and then position in the next lower spot to repeat what you did on the left side. If you positioned the second card correctly, this should have only taken maybe 1-1½ minutes.
Good Luck.

How can I can I change an Appleworks business card to match an Avery Label?

I used the earliest Apple II's, and I loved Appleworks, being a member of the Appleworks Users Club through the days of Appleworks 6, which I still use on my Macbook with OS 10.6.8. I enjoy the ease of creating business cards that it allows. I have forgotten how to change the format to different Avery labels.

How do I set up a file (business card) in Illustrator CS6 to print front and back?

I'm working on a double sided business card and I would like to know how to set up the file in Illustrator.
Thanks

CGDesigns,
There is no need to set up the Artboards on top of each other.
You may send it as is or as a two page PDF, one for each Artboard/Layer. The print shop can tell you exactly how they want it.

Bizcards is only customizable via IMG as of EHP3
Lower releases might require additonal steps/modifications
For EHP3 you need to ensure you are using EHP3 software components and have EHP3 business
function switched on (be careful though switching on this function is only reversal via restore to point in time
before switching it on) - also check note 1159911 if you have switched this one and/or see no fields
Worth also trying the following
Check V_T7XSSPERBIZFLD for existing fields and positions
Add supplementary fields and position numbers to V_T7XSSPERBIZFLD
OR
Check V_T7XSSPERBIZFLD for existing fields and positions
Overwrite required positions and fields in V_T7XSSPERBIZFLC

Illustrator CS3 - Double sided Business Card in two pages PDF

Hi,
How do you create a double sided business card in Illustrator CS3 and be able save on one PDF document with two pages? I know how to create a single sided business card (90 mm x 55 mm with 5mm bleed) and save in PDF without any problems. I'm now trying to create a two sided business card in the same illustrator file and be able to save as one PDF but with two pages.
I searched a bit and tried playing around with page titling but the result just isn’t working out (the size of the business card in the PDF is too small).
Any help would be really appreciated!

I downloaded CS5 trail and it resolved my issue. So much more easier to create a two sided business cards and save in PDF.

Info on creating business cards in pages

In creating business cards using pages, how do copy and paste? Doesn't seem to work as normal.

Fruhulda,
I was too impatient to wait for your solution and finally figured it out for myself. But I came up with a different method of dragging the one master card to the other blocks and that was by using the "option" key on the Apple key board. Apparently, it does the same as Cm + D. It's strange that we can't just copy and paste as normal.
It's a shame too that we don't have a "how to do things" directory for our keyboard.
But I want to say thanks for being a good Samaritan out there willing to help people like me and Samdelrussi.
Have a good Holiday Season.
