Which way should I lay out cards to get more from each sheet?
Remove twice the margin on each axis. Count whole pieces across and down, leaving a gap only between neighbours. Test the full grid in both orientations. Coverage uses piece area including bleed and the full sheet area. Mixed layouts are outside this estimate.
