General Comment
- Please read the text you inserted into the products. After confirmation, it cannot be changed.
- There is a slight variation between the colors you see on your screen and what you get printed at home: computer screens use the RGB color schema, and our printer uses CMYK. Moreover there might be a variation of more or less 10% on the printing process (colors might become more or less bright).
- The dotting you see on the borders of the cards are cutting edges: that is where the cards get cut by the guillotines.
