Business cards don't line up

Breezi · 01-18-2006, 05:16 PM

I'm trying to print a sheet of business cards, and only the top 4 actually make it in the lines. The rest are too high.

Anyone else have this problem? I guess I'll be making some new ones myself.

Are your printer properties set up to print the format or the cards?
(i.e. 10 cards or 12 cards per sheet and a 1/2" spacing or something like that)
I have not looked at them since I still have a couple from Dwight, but that is a common issue I have when printing out from different programs.

Printer properties were all right. Still no luck.

I ended up making my own. Same look, the only difference is the text is just a little bit different. So if anyone else is having this problem, PM me your email address and I can send my word doc. to you.

There seems to be a problem when we convert the Word doc to PDF. Everything lines up OK in Word, but shifts in PDF.

We may have a fix for that in a day or two and will then replace the PDFs that are on the server. The reason we do not put the Word doc on-line is to control the card content and look.

Microsoft WYSIWYG strike again!

I printed out mine tonight and it did take a few sheets to get it
right. Mine did the same thing yours did Breezi. Make sure you have your settings on Preview-8.5 x11, Zoom 100%. Use Page Scaling-Tile large pages. Tile Scale-100%, Overlap-0, Print Range-all. It will work like a charm. Oh and 1 more thing. I used Avery ink jet 27881 card stock for Template 8371. fep
