Borderless cards look excellent, spirals suit pics

Great news, the borderless cards look excellent. Most importantly, the concerns about the color bleeding through to the edge seem to be largely unfounded. Also, the lack of a hard-edged border also makes the cards look much cleaner and any variations in positioning much less noticeable.

There was a minor color variation issue, unrelated the borderless change, that I'm working out with Drive Thru Cards at the moment, but that should hopefully be resolved soon.

For now, I took a bunch of quick cell phone photos. I'll take some nicer photos when I get the next set of proofs.

Regarding the concern about the suit being identifiable based on the color bleeding through to the edge, here is a worse case scenario of having the cards in order, squared up, and looked at straight on:

There is a touch of red, green and blue along the edge.

If someone was super eagle eyed, the deck was stacked in order, and they got their head down to table level, they *may* be able to tell the suit of the upcoming card. In practice, I don't think its an issue.

Any angle towards the back of the cards and all you see is the back color, even when the cards are stacked in order:

Once the cards are shuffled, I couldn't see any identifiable color along the edge, even when viewed straight on:

If you flip the deck to the front, there is a colorful display that looks pretty cool:

I think the borderless design should have been the way to go from the very beginning. I never considered it because I saw comments on forums suggesting that it would be an issue, so I'm very glad to have tested it myself. Thanks to Ess for first suggesting the change.
