Printing Tips

• Paper: For the best result, use cardstock between 80–110 lb (216–300 gsm). Matte cardstock gives a classic look; glossy adds brightness and warmth.
• Home printing: Set your printer to “Best Quality” or “Photo” mode. Always do a test print on regular paper first to check alignment before using your good cardstock.
• Professional printing: Upload the PDF directly to services like Staples, Office Depot, or a local print shop. The 300 DPI resolution ensures crisp, professional results. Ask for “cardstock” and “full bleed” printing for the cleanest finish.
• Folding: Use a bone folder or the back of a spoon along a ruler for a clean, sharp fold.
