Printing Tips for Best Results
Paper: Use 110lb cardstock for professional-feeling cards, or regular printer paper for a lighter option. White or cream colored paper works best.
Printer Settings: Select "Best" or "High Quality" print settings. Make sure "Fit to Page" is turned off so cards print at actual size.
Cutting: Use scissors or a paper trimmer for clean edges. A ruler helps keep lines straight.
Folding: Score the fold line first with a butter knife or bone folder for crisp, professional folds.
