Artwork Preparation for the E4-CC :
  

Artwork Templates :   Corel Draw 11

Register to Mounting Holes : Multi-colour artwork can be run on the E4-CC by running the card through in multiple passes.  Whenever setting-up a multi-colour job, be careful to ensure that the colour-separated artwork stays consistently placed relative to any mounting holes.  The goal is to translate the computer precise registration of the artwork into the dies. 

Hologram Dies : Hologram dies are often made differently to most common hot stamping dies.  Typically made of steel, hologram dies are highly polished and are slightly raised in the centre (called a crown).  The purpose of the crown is to push air out of the way as the die and foil press against the card.
