Suitable plaster join for non recessed edges

Hi, I have recently hung plaster in my house and it has come time to stop the job. I have completed recessed joins before however not sure how to finish the non recessed joins from the off cuts. Can anyone offer me some advise on the best way to stop these where the join won't show through the paint. Any advise is greatly appreciated on the subject because i have looked at a few sites and they don't really touch the subject. Cheers Robbie

Are they verticle joints or horizontal joints.

I had some verticle joints where the sheets weren't long enough on the walls. I just taped them up as normal but feathered them out to about 600 to 750mm wide and they really don't show under the paint.
