I've made some biz cards that look just like the ones we can order.. the only thing is the darn things won't print right:p

I'm using avery 8869 - edge to edge - and my printer keeps messing up the allignment... none of the cards print 100% in their card space... anyone else have an issue like this??

Thanks!
Kristina
 
Have you tried realigning your printer? When I had that problem, that's all I had to do!
 
You can shrink your fonts, etc. Use the print preview to make sure , you're within the lines. I use the avery software to make all my biz, and recipe cards. Plus all of my labels.

If your printer is jamming, check for any obstructions in the paper feed and ensure that the card stock is loaded correctly.
