Hi Y'all!

Merrill has been on my nerves today. I purchased those recruitment & hosting business cards posters - not the personalized ones. So when I finally used the template off of their website today, the .pdf didn't line up. I have no idea how to fix it.

Has any one had success with a template for these business card posters? Or should I just suck it up and experience Merrill's World Class CS Dept.? As an alternative, are their stickers small enough to work on those? Thanks!
 
The Booster (thebooster.com) has similar posters, and I think they have a template. You might have to play with it a bit (print them on plain paper and hold them up to the good pages to see if they line up).OK- The Booster does have templates for their business card posters. Check them out http://www.thebooster.com/scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=1360. The pictures on their posters are different, but the general layout is the same.

I so love that you are sharing this! I have had those posters for over a year and have tried them on different compters/printers and cannot get them to line up. I'm gonna try this later and see if I can make use of them instead of having them in my file cabinet taking up space!
