Printing Business Cards

Now, you are ready to print your business cards. But, you have to setup the printer options to display it properly.

By default your browser is not set to allow the backgrounds to print.

To correctly set Internet Explorer:
1. Go to Tools > Internet Options...
2. Select the Advanced tab > scroll down to Printing
3. Check the Print background colors and images box
4. Click Apply then OK

To correctly set Firefox, Opera & Safari:
1. Go to File > Page Setup
2. Select the Format & Options tab > check the Print Background box.
To save ink use lighter backgrounds or set your printer to print lighter. You can see how it will look by using the Print Preview feature in your browser by clicking File > Print Preview.

Setting the Margins:
To print you must set the top and bottom margins to .5" (1/2 inch) and the left and right margins to .25" (1/4 inch). Then remove the header and footer on your browser's Page Setup, simple instructions with pictures can be found on our Card Printing Tips page. If you set the page margins incorrectly the cards will be positioned too far down on the paper!

To Print the Front Side and Back Side:
1. The Print Front button prints the front of the cards as you would normally print anything.
2. Press the Print Back button to print the back side, turn the page over with the front side facing up. Everyone's computer/printer setup is different it may be necessary to experiment to determine the correct orientation of the paper into the printer to properly line up the front side with the back.
3. To print folded cards press that button, cut out an adjoining front and back section as one piece then fold it long ways.

The Save My Card button will download a file that will enable you import your information to edit or print your cards at a later date. Simply double click on the file, it will bring you here.

The Cutting Outlines box will put outlines around the cards to show where to cut them.

The Top Margin selector will move the cards down on the paper if the cards are up too high, larger numbers will move them down the most.

Select the number of cards to print, folded cards print either 2 or 4.

You are Done!
