Page to use

Used when "Double-sided" is checked — the same back prints behind every personalized front. Without one uploaded, double-sided has no back content to use and cards stay single-sided.

04 — Color Separations

Detects which process colors and spot colors are defined in the file — a QC report, not a visual channel preview (browsers can't rasterize CMYK/spot channels directly).

Print artwork (uncheck to hide the imported file entirely — crop marks and guides stay)

Uncheck a spot color to knock it out of the exported PDF (its objects are removed from that separation, so it won't print).

05 — Cut Marks

True black round marks around sheet

Margin (mm) Mark size (mm)

06 — Cut

Outline each cell with a CutContour spot rectangle

Draws a stroke-only rectangle (1pt, no fill) at the exact size of every cell, using a named spot color — "CutContour", shown magenta on screen — the standard convention cutting software looks for.

06 — Legend

Overlay 45×15mm rectangle on each cell (centered)
