Mary in New York state ordered a card sample so she could test it in her printer. She wanted to make sure she could print her daughter’s Bat Mitzvah cards from home. As she was trying to print the card on her HP All-in-One Printer model C309, she ran into trouble and called HP’s tech support. We were surprised to hear that they had told Mary that not only would this printer not accept a 6 ¼” square card, but no HP printer would print non-standard card sizes. Maybe something was lost in translation because we know that simply isn’t true. HP printers can indeed accept non-standard paper sizes. The user simply needs to enter a custom document size within the print driver. But Mary’s story ends well. LCI Paper's Josh Birch was able to walk her through the process and the card printed perfectly giving Mary the confidence that she could now place her full order and print her daughter’s Bat Mitzvah invitations with her HP printer. We’ll let Mary tell you about her experience in her own words.

Sarah was kind enough to answer some questions I had about her cards, as well as share some of her other unique laser cut designs.
