Postcard - 2/13/2013 3:16:58 PM    DSIB   Posts: 4 Joined: 2/13/2013 Status: offline I am trying to make a custom size postcard. I created the custom paper using the wizard and then made the card. Everything looks fine but when I go to the print preview or try to print, it comes out in portrait and I need landscape. I have tried changing all the orientation settings in the program and the computer but it does not help. I am using an HP printer and have seen problems with HP and Printshop. Could this be the issue? Thanks! Post #: 1

A 4-to-a-page postcard project must be defined as 2 columns, 2 rows, width: the smaller number, height: the larger number. The thumbnail image of the stock should look portrait orientation. The individual postcard on the workspace will look landscape and the individual cards will print correctly as landscape. Edit your custom postcard stock so that the postcard height is 5.437 < Message edited by ellengard -- 2/14/2013 11:10:33 AM > (in reply to DSIB) Post #: 5

Thank you very much for your help! It saved me a lot of aggravation! (in reply to ellengard) Post #: 6

Any time you create a custom paper with this program, give the height measurement the larger number. The program knows to "rotate" when landscape printing is required. (in reply to DSIB) Post #: 7
