Production Lesson(s)
Printing white ink on the dark brown paper on the back of the card and printing the gold ink precisely within the black key line on the front of the card were the most difficult parts of this project. Both issues were resolved with special attention to the registration and a lot of help from my amazing Kort gauge pins.
