Printing Your Postcard Project |
When you print postcards, you need to feed your paper through the printer twice once for the front side of the card and once for the back side. Postcards are printed two or four to a page. The Print Shop accommodates special Avery preperforated papers to print Avery type postcards.
We recommend you to specify the printer you are currently using because some projects may be truncated while printing if the printer and paper format have not been set up properly. Before printing your postcard project, you also may need to change the paper size or properties related to your particular printer. Choose Page Setup from the File menu, and a dialog with options specific to your printer appears. Consult your printer's documentation for more information.
When you are ready to print your postcard project:
1. Choose Print from the File menu. The Print Postcard Project dialog appears.
2. The default is set to print all cards on a sheet. To print only one card on one blank, click the preview image of the single card. A dark gray box will appear around it, showing that only this one will be printed. To select several cards to print at a time, hold down the Shift key and click the preview images of cards. Only those cards you clicked in print preview will be printed.
TIP: Click the Select All button to print the entire page of cards.
3. Select the Front/Back or Inside option in the Print dialog to specify which side of the postcard will be printed first.
4. When you have set all the printing options you want, click the Print button to print your postcard.
5. When printing of the first side is complete, a message will appear prompting you to continue printing your project. Click OK to print the second side, or click Cancel to leave the postcards printed on one side only.
