Printing cards/half-fold - 4/30/2015 1:19:17 PM    Verscheijden   Posts: 4 Joined: 4/30/2015 Status: offline Although I've printed a paper for alignment; when I print cards the image is nog big enough so I have a big white border at the right site of the card. Post #: 1

RE: Printing cards/half-fold - 4/30/2015 2:59:11 PM    ellengard Posts: 3253 Joined: 10/2/2006 Status: offline Does your card project size match the printer's paper size setting? For example, if your printer is set for letter size paper, but your project template is for a 5x7 card (when folded), you are going to get a big white margin because the card is much smaller than the paper. For people who want to make a 5x7 full bleed card, this is the correct way to do it. Fold the printed paper in half, then trim off the margins. If you make a 5.5x8.5 card on letter size paper, your design will fill out the paper and margins will be minimal. Even these margins can be trimmed off to get a nice full-bleed look. < Message edited by ellengard -- 4/30/2015 3:02:37 PM > (in reply to Verscheijden) Post #: 2

They don't auto-adjust to fit A4 paper, but you can copy/paste the design elements into a BROCHURE project. BROCHURE projects will adjust to the default paper size.
