If printing on top of each other you would need to flash between each color as well making the run longer and more costly. Second question would be "B". Cut out for the reasons stated above. A slight trap will help with registration issues on press yet normally I would butt register the job.

is there a 'preffered' method of doing this? if all my art is in vector format, but each colour has been drawn on-top of each other i.e colours are layered ontop of eachother.. is there a way to 'knock out' the underlying colours so that colours are butt registered instead of overlayed - or would this need to be taken into consideration when designing.. keeping colours on seperate layers and only drawing a colour where it will be printed?
