Photoshop - layouts for business cards, bleed edge etc

Hey
I've been told by some printers that I need to put a bleed edge for them. I'm alright with that part....
But they asked for me to put bleed edge marks so I don't have to pay for the extra layout costs.
Any idea what they meant or how to do it?
Thanks very much

I'm sure the phone conversation took longer than it would for your printer to add bleed marks. Personally I always hated "bleed" marks added by the customer for a bunch of reasons, but to each their own.
<br />
<br />Make a file 1 inch bigger than your BC (typically a file 4.5 x 3). Then make guides at 0.375 and 0.5 inches from the top, bottom, left and right. If you set your rulers to inches and hold the shift key while you draw the guides (click on the ruler and drag into the image), you should have an easier time hitting 0.5. Make sure the info palette is visible so you can see the guide coordinates.
<br />
<br />Then use the pencil tool with 2 pixels width to paint (in black) the marks. Make sure to stay outside the 0.375 guides. This is your bleed and you don't want marks creeping into it. Use the marquee tool to check you got the size right: the inner box (trim) should be 3.5 x 2, and the outer box (bleed) should be 3.75 x 2.25.
<br />
<br />If I were to build a bleed BC, I would build it 3.75 x 2.25 and tell them it bleeds on all four sides. Their stance is a red flag as far as I'm concerned.
<br />

  • Determine Fields for Business Card on Area Page -  does not show on portal

    Hi,
    I'm trying to add new fields on the overview page of service personal data IT0002
    I found "Determine Fields for Business Card on Area Page" in customizing and added new field, but it doesn't show in ESS portal service.
    Does anyone have any advice what I need to do to make it work?

    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

  • Pages templates for business cards.

    Pages has templates for business cards. How do you modify/change them and then print to Avery forms?

    In Pages open the appropriate Avery word template (from their website) for their BCard sheets, then copy over a single BCard from the Apple templates.
    Modified that to your liking.
    You can option drag copies of objects in Pages so just option shift drag copies into place.

    Here is a post I just assembled for another Appleworks user:
    First, read these excellent articles on Appleworks migration:
    Appleworks for the modern day, a migration tip by a brody; and
    Abandoning Appleworks by Roger Wilmut.
    If you need to run Appleworks 6 to export some data (for example a database, which cannot be opened by any other program):
    a)  If your Mac will still boot into Snow Leopard, partition your hard drive (or add an external hard drive) and install Snow Leopard (and the optional Rosetta) into it and use the "dual-boot" method to boot into Snow Leopard and run Appleworks 6; or
    b)  Install Snow Leopard Server into Parallels and run Appleworks 6 concurrently with Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks:

  • What software for business cards ?

    What software can I use to create business cards except Word ? Thanks

    When I did this allot, I would use photoshop and illustrator in order to create any logos, or images that I wanted. From there I would use Adobe In-Design in order to do the actual layout, and to make them multi up on a page for printing. Just remember when you are doing your layout that a standard business card is 2" tall by 3.5" wide. Also remember when you are setting them onto a page for printing that "MOST" printers will not print within .25" of the edge of a piece of paper. With that in mind you will need to make sure that you either compensate and shift all of your content in on the page in order to keep it from being a problem, or make sure that nothing is printed (including any background) within .25" of the edge of the card itself. You can set up cards to get 12 individual cards onto a single sheet by setting them up into a landscape format and placing your first card in top left corner of that sheet, then do 3 cards across, and 4 cards down on the page.
    There are also LOTS of business card specific programs out there that you can try out, but I found that I got best results by using the programs that I mentioned above.

  • Photoshop: values for type, brush, crop, lasso etc tools broken on Leopard

    I posted this in answer to another thread, but decided that it may be helpful to some Photoshop users if it had its own topic:
    The following is a technote copied from Adobe's forums, regarding the performance of several menus for key tool settings in Photoshop CS3 running in Leopard:
    *Changing values for type, brush, crop, lasso etc tools broken on Leopard*
    *Kirsten Harris - 08:58pm Nov 15, 2007 Pacific*
    Adobe and Apple are working closely to provide a fix to a known issue running Adobe Photoshop CS3 and Photoshop CS3 Extended on Mac OS X Leopard (v10.5.1). Currently, when you enter values in numerical fields to set sizes for the brush, crop, marquee, lasso, type, and other Photoshop CS3 tools, those values revert to previously entered values when you try to apply them.
    # While we have identified workarounds for some of the affected tools, this issue prevents people from working as precisely and intuitively as they expect. Providing a fix to customers is a top priority. Please note the following: The fix will be provided through an update to Mac OS X Leopard. Consequently, it is not part of the Photoshop CS3 (10.0.1) update.
    # Apple is collaborating closely with us to get this fix incorporated into a Mac OS X Leopard update. No public schedule is available at this time, but both companies understand the urgency of this fix.
    # As soon as the appropriate update to Mac OS X Leopard is available, we will immediately alert our Photoshop users.
    Affected Photoshop CS3 tools: Art History tool, Blur tool, Brush tool, Burn tool, Color Replacement tool, Clone tools (all), Crop tool, Dodge tool, Eraser tools (all), Gradient tool, Healing tools (all), History tool, Lasso tools (all), Line tool, Magic Wand tool, Marquee tools (all), Paint Bucket tool, Pencil tool, Polygon tool, Quick Selection tool, Red Eye tool, Rounded Rectangle tool, Sharpen tool, Smudge tool, Sponge tool, Slice tool, Type tool
    Workaround for tools with sliders: Instead of typing in a number, use the sliders to change the value.
    Workaround for tools with pop-up menus: Enter a value for the size but don’t press Return/Enter to apply the value. Instead, choose it from the top of the Size pop-up menu to commit it.
    Workaround for tools which do not have sliders or pop-up menus: For certain tools, such as the Line tool, you may want to set up presets that you can load to set common sizes. Alternatively, you can restart Photoshop CS3 to clear the problem. You will then be able to enter values again. However, the issue typically re-surfaces quickly.
    If additional details come to light, our tech doc Values in numerical fields in Photoshop CS3 revert to the previous value in Mac OS X v10.5.1 (Leopard) will be updated.

    Well, that's interesting! Here I thought the problem with my CS1 was just that it was too old, running in Rosetta and all, and would be fixed when I get my Xmas treat of CS3. Wonder if that means when the fix comes from Apple it will also fix the same problem in CS1? Of course, by then I'll probably have CS3.... Thanks for posting this, I would have been mighty annoyed to have plonked down my 200 bucks only to discover that I had the same bugs.

  • Custom page layouts for iPhoto books- bleeds and type

    I've been digging through the forum for info on creating custom page layouts. I have the basics: print PDF (to capture the page BG and graphics elements), manipulate in PhotoShop and place the custom page as a full page photo.
    How does iPhoto deal with bleeds? Since I'm trying to recreate the style of the other pages I'd like it to match.
    Is all type in an iPhoto book rasterized? The printed PDF retains type. Will rasterized type in PS layouts match "native" text in iPhoto?
    I haven't purchased a book yet and I'm wondering if the book is sent to Apple as a PDF with vector data. If that's the case can custom pages be inserted into the PDF with vector type intact?
    Thanks all!
    rg

    gatz:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I don't know much about bleeds but you can manipulate it in the iPhoto preference file with Pref Setter.
    Regarding the rasterized type, you'll have to give it a try and then create a pdf of the book to check it out. In iPHoto 5 we used to be able to get a copy of the pdf file that was uploaded to Apple but in V6 that's not possible. I think the pdf file may be the same as we get when creating it via Print to PDF. Here's the info I received from Apple about book quality and materials:
    I contacted Apple and asked for information that I could pass on. Here's the reply I received from Apple:
    "Thank you for contacting the Apple Print Products Customer Service.
    I understand that you would like to know the printing process that is used and the color mode the files should be in, so you can better advise users in the iPhoto forum.
    iPhoto version 4 or later, allows you to import and print files through the Apple Print Product service as RGB, grayscale, or CMYK color space. JPEG files with RGB color space are recommended for best results.
    While iPhoto 2 can import files of various formats, including RGB color, grayscale, and CMYK, this version requires JPEG files with RGB color space when printing photos and books.
    For more information regarding iPhoto 2, please visit the following article:
    iPhoto: Color, Black and White Prints Appear Garbled or Distorted
    For more information regarding iPhoto 5, please visit the following article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=165501
    Here are some of the technical specifications for the books, cards, and calendars. I hope this gives you an idea about their quality and form.
    BOOKS
    All iPhoto books are printed using acid-free paper for long-lasting image quality. The photos are printed at a high resolution (300DPI if you use iPhoto 6). There is no external modification--such as sharpening or contrast adjustment--of the photos; what you see in the application is what is printed in the book.
    Hardcovers Books
    The cover is hard-bound and covered in linen. You select the linen color during the book-ordering process. The hardcover books have a solid, stiff binding that is glued and crimped. The internal pages, measuring 8.5 x 11 inches, are printed on McCoy 100# Text Gloss paper stock.
    Softcover Books
    The softcover books come in three sizes:
    - Large 8.5 x 11 inches
    - Medium 6 x 8 inches
    - Small 2.6 x 3.5 inches
    All of the softcover books have internal pages that are printed on McCoy 100# Text Gloss paper stock. The large softcover book has a white cover (Kromekoteplus Folding Cover, 16 point) with a cutout on the front that reveals the cover-page photo in the book. The covers for the medium and small softcover books have the cover image and title printed directly on the cover. All of the softcover books have a glued binding and feature a thick cover of McCoy 100# Cover Gloss paper stock.
    CARDS
    All cards are printed on McCoy 120# Silk Cover paper stock. The postcards measure 4 x 6 inches, and the greeting cards measure 5 x 7inches.
    CALENDARS
    All calendars measure 8 x 10 inches and are printed on McCoy 100# Silk Cover paper stock.
    To ensure the best print quality, we have chosen to use Kodak NexPress technology. The press uses a dry toner, which is fused to the surface of the paper. Please see NexPress' site for more information:
    KODAK NEXPRESS 2500 Digital Production Color Press
    I hope you find this information helpful in answering questions on the iPhoto forum."
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • What type of paper setting should I adjust my printer to for printing business cards?

    HP PSC 2210 all in one
    Win XP Pro Media 3rd ed.
    No error message
    no changes made to the system
    I am trying to print out some business cards using Avery 5876 2-sided printable business cards.
    When I print a test sheet out of my biz cards on regular 20# paper stock and adjust the settings just so, everything goes well and a trial run using the regular 20 # stock everything comes out great!  But when I put in the Avery card stock and hit go, the printer goes a lot slower while making the script and images very dark with excess toner on the card stock only.  But not on the paper stock. Why is this?  
    Should I should change the paper settings on the printer from automatic to what setting for business card stock?  If so, to what setting? -- Special papers, greeting cards, brochure papers or what???  PLEASE ADVISE.
    THANKS,
    Scott

    Is the stock designed for inkjet printers?  The cardstock is likley being misread as photo paper by the automatic sensor.  I would suggest trying with brochure paper, other inkjet paper or card stock in that order.

  • Business Cards functionality on iPad

    Hi Pushkar,
    I was referring to one of your Blogs from February(SAP Cloud for Customer - February 2014 Release Highlights) and noticed that under User Experience - there is a Native Business Card Scanner for Mobile Solutions.
    Do you have any documentation related to this? Like how do we use this feature on iPad application today and what is the exact use.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Siva.

    NM..
    Enable the Business Card Scanner to Create Leads (optional)
    Buy the appropriate number of licenses for business card scans for your company from ABBYY at http://cloud.ocrsdk.com.
    Each business card scan counts as one A4 scan.
    As a result, ABBYY sends you the application name and password.
    Log on to your SAP solution as an administrator and choose  Administrator Mashup Web Services Business Card Scanner Service .
    Choose Enter API Keys.
    In the dialog box that appears, choose Show API Keys.
    Enter the application and password that you received from ABBYY.
    Save your entries.

  • Action profile for Business Partners

    Dear SAPers,
    Currently Action profile, can be easily set-up for Business transactions (Opp, Activity,etc.).
    Examle: When Opp status is changed (schedule condition, start condition), Business Parnter attribute is adapted (Execution).
    Does anyone know if Action profile can  be set-up for Business Partner?
    Examle: When BP is changed (schedule condition, start condition), Business transaction attribute is adapted (Execution).
    In standard, it does not look possible.
    Should it be possible from Business Parnter BADI (check_before_save) to generate the schedule condition of a set of Business transactions e.g Opp.
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi Marc,
    Yes. As of today you can customize the Action Profiles to trigger actions for Business Transactions only. This is not available for the Business Partners. So, your approach of Business Partner BADI sounds a very reasonable solution to achieve the functionality.
    And for the Business Partner BADI that you mentioned here I was unable to find any such BADI in SAP CRM 7.0 system. Can you let me know from which system you got that BADI name?
    I got a BADI of BP - COM_PARTNER_BADI. Can you have a look at the implementations of it so as to have a understanding of it's usage.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,
    Samantak.
