Buy Clean Edge business cards
Buy Clean Edge business cards. If you want to print on the back buy double sided cards. See info on next slide for the double sided cards I bought (Avery 8871). The single sided cards are cheaper. Trial and Error for the printer before you start. Print only the page of this PowerPoint with just the grid lines on plain printer paper. It may say it is beyond the borders, that’s ok. Print in draft and B&W. this is just a test print. Overlay this with a blank page of cards. See if it matches. It must match the cut marks on the cards PERFECTLY. If they don’t match you will have to resize the grid so you can place your words accurately. (See next slide in this ppt for suggestions on how to resize.) Edit card to your liking. Once you get the hang of this make and keep several different card layouts/slides for different uses. You can just print 10 at a time! Use Ctrl F, to Find and select Replace to replace my sample words. Then adjust the layout . You can add photos if you like. There is LOTS more info… If you are good with PowerPoint or know someone who is, this is easy. Choose one of my backgrounds if you want something other than white. Use the grid lines only for alignment. When you get it laid out with the grid lines, DUPLICATE your finished slide with the grid lines as backup, DELETE the grid lines on the good one. Choose printer Properties Fast Draft is probably just fine! Try printing test card on plain paper first. Hold up to light and check alignment. Adjust settings if necessary Borderless!! Select 8.5x11 Print actual size In color Print Current slide only!!! Copies 1 Print ONLY one page and ONE side at a time!!! (that is for my printer) INSURE CARDS PAPER IS IN PRINTER CORRECTLY ©: WilliamWiseArt.com

CARDS: Search for Avery Two-Side Printable Clean Edge Business Cards for Inkjet Printers, Matte, White, Pack of 200 (08871) est. $9.00 on line. These are really nice! There are generic brands and I think they all have clean edges now. They also sell cards at many stores with office supplies. To resize the grid if the grid lines don’t match exactly: Warning, you must have a fair knowledge of PowerPoint! What I would do is print my sample card (last slide) with my info and grid lines on just a piece of printer paper. Hold it up to the card stock into the light. Mark on the sample piece of paper where the actual card edges are. Then select only the grid layer on the test slide and then press the SHIFT key and shrink the grid layer to match exactly the card marks you made on the test print. Now print this slide as a test again. Do the grid lines match the cut lines of the cards? If not, adjust until they match exactly. When you have it, copy just the grid lines and put it on a new slide. (Maybe two of them so you have a back-up!!!) Now you have a frame work for your cards and your printer!!! Remember, If you move something or change something by accident and want to undo that change, press Ctrl Z to undo last change! If you go to Avery’s site you can download a template. That is not for me. Good Luck. Bill You can make that Circle C mark by holding Alt 0169, cool huh?! ©: WilliamWiseArt.com
