This would not give you the exact positioning of text, nor the color and fonts that will be on the final printed card.
The idea is to output to the screen basically pixel exact representations of the print version of the product. The only sure way to do this is to create a single file that will go to the printer and can be viewed on the screen. The closest I have been able to get on this is the PS->pdf and PS->jpg version. I think on newer versions of CF (I'm still in 5.0 land), this will be possible with a combination of cfdocument, cfcontent and some open source java libs. On 9/14/05, S.
