Business card help

aandy · 03-13-2008, 05:41 AM

Hi, I have just finished ccreating a 2 sided colour business card for myself as a trial and I was wondering if it is possible to print both sides out in the correct alignment multiple times on my home printer. It is just a Epson Epson Stylus Photo R340. Thanks in advance,

Andrew

If you have a program like photoshop, press "new" sett preset to "international paper" and "a4". Make a folder of your front and backside and make sure they are placed on top of each other. (Only front should be visible by example.) Duplicate your card and place it all over (Press CTRL * for grid)

When you have printed the front, press the "eye" on the front-layers to remove visability". Copy your backside on the same paper you printed the front. That should do.

it's tough, I found that I have to give myself some bleed because they never line up exactly right

I think it will line up if you're strict on the grid. Just place the front/back with just the same amount of space on every card. Do it like this in photoshop:

By the way. The red is back, grey is front. Line them up like this. Print front first. Put you paper back into the printer and print the back.

Edit: Crappy thumbnail. You understand the deal anyway.
