Just got back from the printer and apparently i need to figure out how to lay out these bad boys 9-up on a page and add 1/8" crop marks or "bleed" . I think i have a pretty good grasp on what they're wanting me to do, i just have to figure out how to do it and save the sheet as a file to give them. I'm using Photoshop 6, so if anyone can give my advice on how to do this, i would appreciate it. I'm pretty good at figuring things out, so if you can just point me in the right direction i can probably run with it.
I also need to figure out what card stock i want to use. The machine they have there will only do digital printing up to 100# and i thought that felt too thin. She showed me some glossy business cards that were 16 point (why we're talking point now and not # is beyond me, but whatever ) and that thickness seemed more appropriate. Anyone know for sure what weight card stock i should use? If i go the thicker route, they will be printed off site, but for the same price i was quoted for the thinner stock. So that's what i'm inclined to do, even though the turn around will be "a little longer".
