Printing Tips

• Use blank white printer paper (US Letter) for best results as it is the best for the colors on the cards to show. For more high quality cards, you can also use premium paper types. 
• The cards are designed for US letter paper size. You can also use A4 size paper but adjust the paper setting on your printer and check the margins before printing.
• Before printing, check your print settings. Confirm the correct paper size, preview the design and choose the appropriate print option from the menu.
