                         AST WORKS "CARDS" SOFTWARE AND PRINT QUALITY

            This is an informational bulletin.

            If a Bitmap or PhotoCD image is inserted on the 'front' portion of the
            card, it will print in low resolution.  If the same or different image
            is placed on the 'inside' of the card, it prints at a much higher
            resolution.

            The "CARDS" software does not support Bitmap or PhotoCD images on the
            front of the card.  AST recommends using Bitmap or PhotoCD images on
            the inside of the card for best results.
