Instructions for printing using Microsoft Word

Our A4 Response Cards are delivered at actual size.  Flat, non folding response cards are 3 1/2 x 4 7/8. Folder response cards measure 4 7/8 x 7 open and are scored to fold to 3 1/2 x 4 7/8. These cards are smaller than the typical 8 1/2 x 11 sheet, therefore, the set up time needed to print out your cards using off the shelf printing software and your home printer is somewhat more involved. However with a little instruction both these sizes can easily be printed using Microsoft Word or any of our Invitation Printing software. Below please find links to help with this process.

For best printing results with our Metallic papers, we recommend using laser printers not inkjet printers. In particular, printers that can handle heavyweight card stocks are recommended.

Yes, we recommend you try The Perfect Printing Pouch for any Metallic papers you encounter which resist being printed on. It is a pouch filled with a formula of acid-free, talc-free, non-toxic powders. Prior to printing, lightly tap the pouch over the area where you wish to print to release the powder onto the paper surface. The powder makes the ink adhere to the paper and speeds drying. We recommend that after using the pouch; run a plain sheet of paper through your printer to remove any excess powder from the inside of your printer. Please note: The pouch is inkjet friendly only and should not be used with laser printers.

First, some people haven't yet run into difficulty if they haven’t tried fancier papers such as pearly vellums or mulberry paper, and others don’t realize their printing could be greatly improved. Secondly, there are significant differences between ink and paper brands in how they work and how long they take to dry. Thirdly, different ink types yield very different results.

Set the printer for plain paper and normal print quality. Do not have it set for automatic or draft. Try to use as little as possible to achieve the effect you want but enough so it works. It may take a lot less than you think.

Since very little is used in each application, it lasts a very long time. It's hard to say how long as it depends upon how much and how often it is used so It could last 6 months, a year or more. There is no expiration date. To maximize the life, keep the pouch clean and dry.

For any vellums you encounter which resist being printed, we recommend you try “The Perfect Printing Pouch.” It is a pouch filled with a formula of acid-free, talc-free, non-toxic powders. Prior to printing, lightly tap the pouch over the area where you wish to print to release the powder onto the vellum surface. The powder makes the ink adhere to the paper and speeds drying. It works well on patterned, coated, and colored vellum as well as on many glossy, textured, handmade and coated papers. We recommend that after using the pouch, run a plain sheet of paper through your printer to remove any excess powder from the inside of your printer.

No. The Perfect Printing Pouch improves printing and speeds drying with many forms of wet ink. There is no need to purchase a whole new set of ‘vellum markers’ since the pouch makes writing with regular markers perfect. Use the pouch with gel pens, both dye and pigment ink for rubber stamping projects, and to stop permanent markers from bleeding into wood.
