I am trying to make business cards in Adobe Illustrator using the Pantone Color System. In my logo, the middle circle is a dark grey: C20 Y20 M20 K80. I can't find a suitable Pantone grey that is this dark. Pantone 425U is too light. Also, which Pantone Black is the darkest?
View 21 RepliesMy printer (digital printer) tells me that they dont recommend having any borders on their cards as during the printing /cutting process the edges may be trimmed 1mm in a random manner and thus offsetting a nice even border.
Is there anyway to combat this or do I need to go to a specific type of printer?
Or do I just setup the file and hope the random edge cut/print/positioning goes my way?
Id love to get a small white 1mm/2mm edge on the left and top of my card if possible, bottom doesnt matter as its allready white and right edge there doesnt need to be one.
I have a simple design in coreldraw X5 and a rectangle with a postscript fill (example: color bubles), now whenever i print out this artwork the rectangle prints in a dark grey color and the rest is OK.
Before i used X4 and the same artwork with the same printer were working perfectly, but now this is happening since i use X5
as a user of pse 6 I 'm used to work with darkgrey background in the organizer.
This works perfectly for quickly assessing brightness and contrast of pictures.
In pse 10 however I could not find any button to change the preset lightgrey background colour to darkgrey.
I am about to print business cards? Where is the best place to get QUALITY (not Vista Print) cards done?

Business Card 1

Note: These were created with photoshop.
I have Photoshop 7 and I want to create some business cards in Photoshop and then print them.
How do I set it up so that it will print out on those business card sheets correctly?
Long-term user of CorelDraw, and have just found Xara P&GD, which is quite a revelation. I've re-designed my business card and how to print to A4, pre-perforated card. CorelDraw can make use of Avery templates for printing the single business card design, multiple times, on the same sheet of card, but I can't find a way to do this with Xara without physically copying the design to make a composite A4 layout. Can Xara do this the "template" way?

View 2 Replies View RelatedThe powerful new XD7 LIVE COPY and EDITING INSIDE GROUPS features are really useful if you need to create a sheet of business cards. Create your business card and then set it as a LIVE COPY and repeat it on page. Now if you need to make a change later to the business card all the other copies of the business card change automatically.
Attached is a sample (.xar) to play around with.
If you're not familiar with LIVE COPY or EDITING INSIDE GROUPS in XD7, I recommend you watch Xhris's excellent videos at [URL]....
I really like the effect in this poster. I see this effect all the time taking one color and making it light and dark in different areas. Like the banner on this site, but can never do it myself.

In page setup i have setup my page to print 4 business cards on an A4 page. I have customize the labels myself. Then in print preview i have chosen to print the business cards in the center of the page. But the cards are on the bottom left corner and what ever i do it will not change.
maybe i have to change the margins in page setup-customize label? But don't know the inches.
How can i put my 4 business cards in the center of the page to print?

The company that's going to do the printing says they need to be 300 dpi or better. I know nothing about this. What filetype would be best for that purpose and what software I need to create a design quickly and easily?

To print business cards, I selected Label AVERY 5371 - 2X 3.5 BusCr. Print preview looks good. There is no any visible alignment problems.
When printing is completed (Linen paper AVERY 5371), there is about 2 millimeters alignment problem for each card. I created my own template and the print is with the same results. The printer I use is Canon MP830 ink jet.
I have CorelDraw Graphics Suite X6. I have created what I want in the end to be a double sided business card. However, when printing I am unable to get what will be the back design to align with the front design. Does Coreldraw have a option of sort to make this happen automatically? Or is there a technique to make this happen?

View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen I create a shape with a Pantone Color and then decrease the opacity in the color swatch palette, then go to my swatches palette and select "Select All Unused Colors" it highlights the pantone color being used in the file.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a series of Illustrator documents created over 2 - 3 years. They are artwork for labels of multiple sizes of the same product. It is important that the colour is consistent. In the period concerned I will have used CS5, CS5.5 and CS6.
I have just added to the range and the client came back to me saying that the "blue has changed”. Sure enough it has. When I compare, Pantone 652 on one it is darker than Pantone 652 on a newer one. Apparently it prints differently as well. When I copy and paste blue items from one document to another (either way) they change colour. In other words PMS 652 is not consistent from one document to another.
When I check the CMYK numbers on the two documents they are very different: 50/25/0/10 and 47/24/7/0.
I have read that Pantone wished to 'improve' some things, and I know I can change the colour book in CS6, or just work some projects in older Illustrator versions. But they all seem to me to be cumbersome work arounds. Surely Pantone 652 should always be Pantone 652.
I created a logo in Illustrator CS5 made of several overlapping parts, all parts have the same Pantone color, but with different intensity (I'm not sure it's called intensity, is the bar, inside the Color Palette by which you can adjust the color from white to 100% of the Pantone color of your choice). What I'm looking for is a way to change the color of all the parts at once with another Pantone with a simple click, without having to manually adjust all the intensity of every single parts again. Now, when I try, all parts changes in the new Pantone color but all are at 100%. If i change only one part at a time the percentage of intensity is observed. I know that i can do it manualy, changing every single part, but i wonder if there is a faster way that i don't know.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an image which opens in illustrator and has an RGB preview.I need to print in CMYK, but when I convert the colours add strange percentages to the colour ie 17.65% etc.The image has a set colour Pantone in a separate sheet, but bares no resemblance to the breakdown color.If I put the Pantone colour into Photoshop and Illustrator I get slightly different CMYK breakdowns. How do I know which program is giving me the correct breakdown and is there a quick way of linking everything up so we are singing off the same hymn sheet?
For instance
Pantone Hexachrome Black M in PS CS5 is C74/M58/Y58/B57

i'm looking for a Pantone color, that has this code "PMS 583 C", i tried typing it in the Pantone Solid Coated library searchbar but i couldn't find it. does it have a different code or something, the color is greenish.
