Hi guys,
I use Pages '08
Printing, slitting?
How does it turn into real biz cards I can hand out? Especially 2-sided cards which have to be printed and slit within narrow tolerances?
Thanks,

Just give the printer what they want, which is probably not what is on the Apple templates.
For a start most commercial printers will want the business card artwork as an individual card with crops and bleed in a format they can handle such as cmyk PDFX1/A.

Thank you Peter.
Yes, there is the conventional production method. But why does Apple provide a template. Is it just a practical joke and ultmately not usable?
Probably so you can print them yourself on your inkjet on perforated stock.

Aha, perforated stock! Why didn't I think of it!
Thank you Peter. Now it makes sense.
Except Apple's templates do not fit any prescored business card sheets I know of.
Home printed Business Cards speak volumes of your professionalism, stability and temporary currently non-financial status.
Short run quality printed Business Cards from the likes of Moo or VistaPrint are so cheap these days, home made may as well accompany a tin cup in your business plan. 🙂

PS You meant Walt not me.
Indeed.
Thank you for reminding me. I'll try Moo.

Biz cards, what happens after the sheet is laid out?
