Step 5: Print away!

Allow time for the ink to dry.

Ink printed on the non-glossy side will dry quicker than ink printer on the coated side.

Use your straight edge with X-Acto and cutting matte or just use scissors and free hand it.

Use the crop marks you added to the design to quickly line up your cuts.

If you don’t want to invest in a Print Gocco, you can use any screen printing method you like. If the design is simple enough you can even create a stencil by cutting your design out of paper and then screening it or even spray painting it.
