Project Description
This is a crisp 1-color business card with painted edges. The bright orange sings on the crisp white stock.Production Lesson(s)
Designing the front and back of the cards so the imprint won't obstruct with either side's design was a little tricky. Sideshow Press handled this printing tightrope flawlessly.Subtle variation on the painted edges (some edges appear darker, some lighter) was a pleasant surprise, imparting a handmade quality.
Printing Pantone orange is far better, brighter, crisper than process printing. I need to use orange more often!
