Keep Cup business cards press sheets showing colour bars

Keep Cup business card forme cut sheets once all the business cards have been striped out once forme cut on our Heidelberg Platen.  Round cornering on the Platen is the best as you don’t have to nick the forme and cause burs to remain in the finished product.  This method also gives you a nice even, perfect and smooth finish.

Sometimes forme cutting can be a little difficult as above.  We’re cutting right up to the back edge of the sheet and reducing the amount of forme cutting nicks so the back edge of the forme cut sheet is catching on paper/sheet guides through the press and flying out everywhere.

Our Round cornering hand machine which we used on our Calendars corners.  A great machine for jobs such as this.  The best quality round corner is when you forme cut them on a platen or cylinder because of the way the corner is cut, different pressure applied.
