    For anyone interested,
    If you would like to make gaff cards and keep the nice smooth finish, there are a million and 1 different kinds of things you can add to a pre-existing card to make a sweet gaff (ie. mirror the face of the card on the back to create a see through effect).
    I just wanted to point out I have had some better luck setting the paper type to transparency in my print setup for the non-blanked cards.
    If anyone has any other Ideas, please feel free to post.

  • hi

    thank you man, i just did 4 gaff cards, also i have a tip: for the first print use the line tool to mark all the borders of first print, that way you can put the car more perfect, before print in the real card cut the lines and presto you have a better print. thanks for your tip

    • Use the smudge tool

      I was going to post a link but metacafe won't let me.
      If you google: smudge tool photoshop
      the first link should say "introduction to photoshop"
      Thats the one! hope this helps :)
