I want to thank everyone who's placed an order or submitted a design. If you're thinking about contributing a design, here are a few common issues that seem to be coming up a lot:
* I can't do full bleeds. That means your card image can't go quite to the edge of the card. I recommend leaving a 20px buffer, which is built into the sample templates. If you do try going all the way to the edge, when it prints, there will be a little sliver of white space along each side. However, the white space isn't quite the same on all sides and it doesn't mesh too well with the curved corners. Overall, I may be making the bleeds into a bigger deal than it needs to be, but I just want to make sure that each card looks as good as possible when it prints.
* I can't use any copyright protected content. That includes screen captures from movies, video games, sports logos, etc. If you own the art or you have written permission from the creator to use it for commercial purposes, that's fine. Otherwise, assume it can't be used.
* I want to be as accepting as possible, and I know it can be frustrating if you put a lot of work into something I can't use, but I do need to reserve a subjective level of editorial discretion too. This product still needs to convey a professional rated-G feeling. I've had to reject a few really creepy designs like a stack of dead bodies, skulls, horrific images of war and things of that nature. Sorry.
(None of the above applies if you just want a custom card for yourself. I'll print whatever you want if it's just for you.)
As for the QR code thing, I'm using a 1x quiet area on my basic designs and they seem to scan fine. I suppose going a little larger wouldn't hurt though.
