More Advanced Business Card Terminology

For Expert Village.com, this is Jason Freedman. In this clip we will be talking about business card terminology. Business card collecting, like any other hobby, has its own set of special language that is helpful to know and here are some terms that would be good for you to understand. Four color or full color describes the use of the certain inks that are used to apply color to a business card. CMYK stands for cyan, magenta, yellow and black. Favorites or a wish list; those are the terms that we use in the business card collectors clubs to describe some cards that are the ones that we really prefer to have, those are the most special to us in our collection. A round robin is a form of trading cards among a group of several people; one pack of cards is sent from person to person to person along the way, you take out the cards that you like and you replace them with similar cards and send it along to the next person. Thermography is a printing process that produces raised lettering and design by applying a powder to the wet ink on the paper stock as it comes off the printing press. Next heat is applied and that causes the powder to melt and adhere to the paper. It is also known as raised ink and it is a less expensive version of copperplate engraving, which also produces raised ink lettering. Finally, the last term I am going to share with you today is called vertical. Vertical is any card where the layout or the design is set up on the card in a portrait fashion as opposed to horizontal fashion. Its one of my favorite categories because those cards seem to stand out a little bit more from all the rest just for the fact of the way that they are oriented.
