Full sheets of cards for Joyce Watson of Beannachd Cards

Joyce has recently taken the opportunity to place an order for a whole range of postcards,greetings cards, bookmarks and mini cards. Here at Abacus we were able to fill the large SRA2 sheet economically by mixing both postcards and greetings cards on the same sheet leaving no empty waste space.

Abacus offers this flexibility in relation to full sheets to enable clients to maximise the available spaces. We at Abacus are not rigid in our sheet layouts and will guide you to what is and what is not possible on these SRA2 sheets. Your financial success is our success as further orders will inevitably follow.

With previous orders Joyce has sent in her own scans originated on her own desktop scanner, but having not been entirely happy with cards originated in this way, this year she left the scanning to Abacus. [A route we always recommend as the final print quality is only as good as the origination].

We at Abacus were delighted to ensure the scans from our very expensive drum scanner met her approval by submitting press profiled digital proofs for her to see before printing. On receiving this approval the postcards, greetings cards, bookmarks and mini cards were printed, cut, scored packed and despatched to her base in the Isle of Iona.

Joyce chose a matt finish to completely seal the colour front side of the cards.When ordering a full card sheet there are several options available for a range of finishes, such as gloss or matt lamination, gloss sealer, spot varnish,or very matt sealer, all of which are undertaken in house[some involve extra costs].

Spot UV varnish is yet another option but this involves significant additional costs as it is only available from a company based in Yorkshire.
