Please see the mock-up of your finished piece with its raised ink layers and cut line. Left-drag to rotate, right-drag to pan, scroll to zoom. Rebuild after any change on earlier steps.
This 3D preview is a representation only. Final printed color, texture, height, and finish may vary slightly.
We'll load an example design and walk through cleaning up the background, tuning the cut shape, and picking a bleed style — about a minute of clicking Next. Your current work will be brought back at the end.
You can also skip and explore on your own.
You have Build Layers work in progress. The tour swaps in a demo design and we'll try to bring your work back at the end, but the layer selections could get lost in the swap.
Draft saved. Safest: save a draft first so you can reload your design if anything looks off after the tour.
