When I print business cards, they sometimes print 1/4 too high but not always.

I have my business cards in a Word document using an Avery template. I have used the same file for years. I never had a problem with my Canon printer but after buying an HP Photosmart D110 I have had nothing but problems. When I print then they print about 1/4 inch too high ruining the cardstock and wasting ink. This doesn't happen all the time. Sometimes I print and they are perfect but when I go back and print another, the problem returns. This is the same card stock I have used for years and when it is inserted in the printer it doesn't matter if it is a single page or a stack of them. I have tried previewing the page before printing and the alignment is correct. I've tried printing to a PDF and then printing the PDF, same problem. I try it on the Canon and no problem. Only reason I bought this in the first place was the cartridges were cheaper and I do a lot of color printing and scanning!  I have just replaced the cartridges and did a head alignment so that is not the problem. I have tried it with regular paper and the problem persists. I'm ready to drop kick this thing and buy another Canon!
This question was solved.

Did you ever find a solution for this problem? I have no problem printing the business cards out on a Canon printer, or a different HP printer I used to have, but the D110 is nothing but a pain in the you know what !  I'm using publisher and the avery 8371 card stock,  I searched solutions for days and did everything possible but still they're not printing correctly!! I'm dissapointed in this printer, every time I have a problem with something it always seems to be an HP product!!!  Very frustrating because I never had to mess with any settings in the other printers I had, I would just put the file in, change the quality and click the print button with no problems. I'm ready to throw this printer out the window Anyway thanks in advance and I hope somebody can help me with this issue !!!

  • C4480 print business card crooked

    I have a relatively new C4480.  When I try to print business cards, they come out crooked and printed only in part.  Using Avery 27871.  No problem with previous Epson.  I got a flashlight and looked inside, saw nothing. (Had a paper jam yesterday.)

    Create 8 copies of the document. Combine the 8 documents into one document. Print the document with 8 pages onto one sheet.

  • How to stop the guesswork with printing business cards

    Hello everyone, when I print business cards I use one of those 10 blank business cards per sheet paper.
    I scan the image of the blank business card template, then I import to Illustrator and then I make the business cards.
    The problem is when I print sometimes I get some of the design cut and have to print again until I get it right.
    My question is how do I get rid of the guesswork when it comes to printing business cards on a 10 card per sheet? (I believe the problem occurs because my scanner is not exactly 8 1/2 by 11 and therefore there is some margin for error)
    I know I could use Indesign, but since I don't have Indesign (and may not have it in a future graphic design job) how do I do it in Illustrator?

    There should be no guesswork if you set up your Artboard, guides, etc., accurately.
    I never do this by scanning and tracing a card template sheet, by the way. It only takes a few minutes,to take accurate measures from the sheet and enter the dimensions for guides, etc., numerically. That way you are confident, for example, that you do, indeed, use consistent spacing between rows & columns of die cuts. And the question of any scaling/position/distortion from your scanner image becomes moot.
    Then you simply have to design to accomodate the inaccuracy of the specific printer--which is almost certain to be the cause of the misregistration--just as one has to do for a printing press. Paper jogs somewhat as it proceeds through a commercial offset press, just as it does (albeit to a greater degree) on an office copier.
    If you design graphic elements which are supposed to print all the way to the edge of the cards, make sure those elements bleed beyond the edges of the die cuts. For this reason, try to find card sheets on which the cards do not share edges, but have spaces between them. If you can't find such sheets, then limit yourself to designing bleeding objects which can span across whole rows or columns of cards.
    What Scott says about availability of cheap printing online is true. You can also get short-run, on-demand, decent-quality, digital printing in places like Kinko's, Office Depot, etc. But often, the whole point of this excercise is to provide the client (or workgroups in your own company) the convenience of printing a few cards at a time on a desktop device or a networked office printer.
    Delivering the card design as an Enabled PDF is great for this; you can create editable fields for the changing content (names, phones, etc.,) and the one document can work for the whole company. Any user can edit the fields in Adobe Reader, save the edits, and print the pre-cut sheets on a suitable office device, or at a quick-copy shop.
    Also, consider the actual need for die-cut stock. Even a quick-copy shop running a decent digital press most likely has a paper shear also. Your real materials cost is much higher per card with pre-perforated sheet, toner, and inkjet cartridges, and you have to fuss over the suitability for inkjet versus laser devices. You're paying for convenience at the sacrifice of quality.

  • Printing business cards

    I have an officejet 4500 desktop G510a. Tried to print business cards. They are suppose to be 2"x31/2", the paper is perperated. when I print them it does not line up correctly so you can tear them correctly. Any ideas on what to do to correct this.

    This is the HP printer "wandering margin" issue with printing sheet business cards:
    Here are some possible solutions:
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Printing-Questions/Solved-All-in-Ones-Misalignment-on-Costco-or-H...
    All possible solutions require troubleshooting of various settings or software some easy settings some more difficult.  None of this trouble shooting should be required for users.  It is thought that this is a software to hardware integration problem.
    I solved my problem by purchasing a competitor product that pulled the sheet though straight from the back versus pulling it in and around such as HP does.
    Good luck

    Hi.
    Does this only open on that specific site?
    In any case, you may want to:
    - instruct Firefox to handle PDF files in a specific way by going into Tools > Options > Applications and selecting the option you want for the PDF files
    - reinstall Adobe Reader and its Firefox plugin
    - install another reader instead of Adobe Reader. I recommend Foxit Reader ( http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/ ), since it's free, VERY light, VERY fast, safe and also has a Firefox plugin (make sure you don't have both Adobe Reader plugin and Foxit Reader plugin enabled/installed at the same time in Firefox)

  • HT3669 Hi I have a Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer. This works with my Windows-based Toshiba laptop but not with my i-Mac. Can someone please advise me how I get the printer to work with my i-Mac? I have installed it but documents don't print. Thanks

    Hi I have a Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer. This works with my Windows-based Toshiba laptop but not with my i-Mac. I have the latest (Mountain Lion 10.8.2) OS-X software.
    I have installed the printer using 'System Preferences' on my i-Mac and it appears on the list of available printers but documents that I create just don't print.
    Can someone please advise me how I get the Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer to work with my i-Mac?
    Thanks, John Lee

    Looking at the Konica web site for the PagePro 1300W, I saw the following note.
    Please note: This printer is designed to be used in computer operating systems running MS Windows only. Operating systems such as UNIX, Macintosh, or Linux are not supported nor do we have workaround drivers available. Older MS Windows versions, such as Windows 3.1/95/98[pre-SE] and NT 3.51/4.0, are not supported.
    So KM are not going to help you. But the LinuxFoundation does provide a workaround that should allow you to print. Have a look at this web page. You will need to install all three packages as per the instructions from that page.

  • When I down loaded some ring tones they show up in my Music folder but not in my ringtones?

    When I down load some ring tones I purchased they show up under my Music Icon but not in my ringtones

    Where did you download them from? Did you drag them from the Music folder to the Ringtones folder?
    iOS devices use MPEG4 audio (AAC) for ringtones. Often these files end with .m4a, but the .m4r suffixe is generally used to denote a ringtone. iOS expects a ringtone to be less than 30 seconds in length and otherwise the only other restriction is that it's an AAC audio file.
    You can make your own ringtones simply enough with any audio editing application on the Mac. Just create an MPEG4 audio stream, give it the suffice .m4r, and drag it into iTunes.

    Hello cjtulowiecki,
    You’re having problems with the computer not booting sometimes.
    Do a hard reset.
    Power off the computer.
    Remove the power cable and the battery.
    Hold down the power button for 15 sec while booth power sources are removed.
    This should reset the hardware in the computer.
    Next test all the hardware in the system.
    As you power it back on tap the F2 key. This will load hardware diagnostics.
    Run the startup test.
    Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!
    Let me know how everything goes.
    Have a good day.

  • Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my AOL messages sometimes, but not always open with a blank page. If I open AOL in Firefox, the messages open fine.  This does not happen with any messages by any means, and it is not any type of certain message

    Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my AOL messages sometimes, but not always open with a blank page. If I open AOL in Firefox, the messages open fine.  This does not happen with any messages by any means, and it is not any type of certain message. In fact, in the same screen I can often open an email from the same sender with email intact. This is weird. Sometimes I close the page and open a new page. Sometimes that works and sometimes it does not. It is a very annoying thing.

    Hi,
    When you start Messages fro the first time you are asked for an Apple ID
    When this is verified and entered it appears in Messages Menu > Preference > Accounts and is Enabled.
    The App should have also picked on on those iChat Accounst you had before.
    These should be Enabled if they were when you last used iChat.
    Exactly which "Accounts" are logged in can be seen in Message Menu > Accounts and will include the iMessage "Account" and Bonjour.
    In the Window menu you will see CMD +0 for the Messages window and CMD+1 for the "Buddies" window which is a combined list at this stage.
    Go to the Preferences > General Section and Untick the "Collect all accounts into one list".
    This will give you separate iChat type Buddy lists.
    You can check if that account/Buddy list is set to Invisible or if in the Preferences > Accounts > Security you have settings that will block some people from seeing you as On line.
    You are saying Buddies can see you as On Line which implies they are still sending to your AIM based Names (@Mac.com is a valid AIM Screen Name)
    I am not sure from your post if you are trying to iMessage their email IDs thinking they are Apple IDs and that they are using Messages as well.
    There is no Buddy list for iMessages side
    No-one can tell you are "On Line" until they have your details in the "To" spot in Messages with the correct iMessaged contact info (iPhone Number or Apple ID)
    Obviously an Apple ID can be an email or look like one.
    In some cases they are also valid AIM Screen Names as well.
    In the case or the @mac.com name you may have linked this Apple ID to iMessages as well.

    Tom wants you to run Disk Utility from the install disc and then select your boot volume and then click "Repair Disk" to check and correct any directory problems.  That will not erase any data files on the disc.  If Disk Utility actually makes repairs, do another "Repair Disk" operation, as sometimes one repair will uncover another error.  Stop when it gives the volume a clean bill of health without making any repairs.  Then restart the machine and see how things work.
