"Kay, our next step with business cards is how do you go about saving your business cards so you can then print it out properly. So, if you followed the last tutorial on business cards here we are with our very very extremely simple business card. You have to make sure you have got your bleed in there so, I mean generally it is I added a point two five millimeter point two five of an inch millimeter not millimeter, point two five of an inch bleed on this one. But a lot of printers require different sizes for the bleed depending on their printer and how they are slicing machine works when it is cutting it off, lets just say you know we got so we add a couple of our shapes of here went into the bleed. You know that would not be good because when they chop it they would be chopping out a lot of this stuff so your card would not look how you meant it to look you know you got to make sure everything is nicely in the boundary that you set yourself when you are designing it. So say we have got our card ready the design is ready you have got your bleed done properly, you want to go up to "Image", we want to make sure the mode is on CMYK 'cause that is how most printers operate, CMYK, you do not want to RGB. So you then go to our, where is it? "Color Settings" down here, go to "Edit" "Color Settings". And we are going to down to, CMYK, just make sure that is all good right here you want it on US sheet fed coded V2 so you click on that. And that should be and that should be good for that everything else looks to be in order. You click OK. So this should be now ready for print so all you would have to do now is go to "File", and you want to go to "Save As", and you want to save it as a PDF file or a Photoshop EPF file, but I would strongly suggest going with a PDF, and you would save it. And make sure it is a high quality print. Want to get rid of the editing, and save. And there you go you would have your business cards ready to go and to send off to your printer."
