>>84538 Personally, I don't really care about seeing white edges on my models, showing that they're made from paper, so I just score on the front. But that's because I just use my X-Acto to actuallu cut through the upper layer. If you use something blunt (like a dead ballpoint that REALLY doesn't write anymore or the tip of a mechanical pencil like on the Yamaha site, you won't actually cut though the paper, just dent it, and the color won't be gone at the fold line: most white edges are from the lines you CUT, and there's nothing to prevent that really, excpet using colored cardstock. Or you can touch these edges up with a felt pen, if you really want to...
Some companies like 3DPaper actually print their kits doublesided, with the fold lines on the backside. But the vast majority of models on the internet doesn't have that of course. So you can do what you do, or some people take a needle or something, and make a tiny hole at both ends of the fold line. Since a fold line always ends at an edge (I mean not in the middle of the part) you can always make the holes outside the part so they won't show. And then you can flip it over, and score between the holes you made using a ruler to guide you. But it's quite time consuming of course, and personally, like I said: even with some white edges showing my papercrafts look great. ;)
