How Do You Print Business Cards in PSE9?

I'm trying to print my design on business cardstock. How do you print to Avery Cardstock or Avery Address Labels in PSE 9?
Thanks in advance.

There are available several Avery templates (for download) which open in Photoshop and PS Elements. directly.

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.

How to make a business card? -Adobe Illustrator CC

Hello,
I'm really stressed after searching the web for a tutorial on how to create a business card in Adobe Illustrator CC. I already have the graphics done, but I just need to know the dimensions and what unit it is. I'm using a homemade kit for these business cards. They're Avery, and I've used the template provided by them but every time I use it, print it out the business card is too low, or high or even cut off right when I have them exactly in the template. The product number is 8373. ASAP assistance would be nice as I'd like to get this done.

Make sure you align your page using the Page tool ( the one that looks like a hand in the lower section of the tool palette). Also, set a holding line for the document dimensions ( I use an 8.5"w x 11"h Rectangle with a no fill, no stroke applied to it > then I lock it ). This will hopefully align the document through the printer.

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

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 layout and print business cards in Avery 8873

I am new to Pages and can not figure out how to create business cards that register and print in
an Avery form 8873 Business Card sheet. This should be so simple.
Please advise he simple trick.
Mike

Have you opened and used the Avery word template for that sheet from Avery's website?
Tight registration is always a problem with printing to a desktop printer. The paper just doesn't have an accurate paper feed.
It is always best to design your cards with generous tolerances so nothing vital gets trimmed off, especially when doublesided printing.

How do you convert to cmyk in aperture 3 for printing business cards?

I'm wanting to make my own business cards and post cards online. The printing companies want cmyk files. How do I convert my photo files and pages files to cmyk? I do not use Photoshop, only Aperture 3.5.1.
Please keep it simple. I'm an old dinosaur and could be your next tank of gas!
Thanks

You will need some External Photo editor, and you can get to to invoke from with Aperture. For the price and function, I can recommend GraphicConverter. Check it out in the Mac App Store for $39.95.
Aperture will create a new master to send to GC, and in GC you click on Picture/Mode and choose CMYK. Then simply click Save, and it will now be saved in the Aperture Library as CMYK.
Aperture can archive the CMYK, but not convert it.

How to edit a business card info

I need to know how to do so

Hi,
The Photoshop Elements trial is not crippled. You have the full function of Photoshop Elements thru your trial period. If you did not get a layered business card template and the place you used to create your card went bankrupt, you might try looking around the net for free business card templates. You can do this from scratch but it's easier with a template as it's already sized and it has a basic layout.
Templates come layered so all you need to do is double click on the T of the text layer you want to change in the layers palette and type in the desired text.
Edit: Mark was much faster at typing how to make a print screen. I'll leave all of the below anyway.
How to make a screen shot of your workspace if on Windows...
1. With your card open in the workspace and the layers panel open as I think Mark wants to see if you have a layered business card, press the print screen button on your keyboard. On my keyboard, it's located above the numeric keyboard.
2. After you press the print screen key, go to the menu and select File<New...from clipboard. A large blank document will open.
3. Press Ctrl + V keys at the same time to paste. Alternately, you can do this from the menu bar...Edit<Paste. This will paste the snapshot you took of your workspace into the open document.
4. (Optional step) You can use the crop tool to cut away unnecessary parts of your screenshot if desired.
5. Next, save the document. To make the document more forum friendly...smaller in file size, I'd use file<Save for Web but if you just want to File<Save As...it's okay. Save in JPG format so you can upload to the forum.
For the camera icon, Mark means the camera icon in the post box that appears when you post or reply to a post when using the web forum. Mark posted a screen grab with the icon but I'll add one with a red arrow pointing to the icon you click to add an image to a post.
I always save any image I want to upload to this forum or any forum to my desktop as it makes it easier to find. A dialog will come up that says choose. Press it and navigate to your JPG image. It will list the location where you have the file stored on your computer. Press the upload button to add the image to the post.
Edit: I'm not sure why Mark has a "Browse" on his button and I have "Choose". Same difference...just select whichever option your button displays.

Help printing business cards

I created a standard size business card in Adobe Illustrator CS3. I have the paper and printer to print these cards, but cannot for the life of me figure out how to print more than one copy of the card on a sheet of paper.
I've poured through the printing options and the only thing I can think of would be to print the business card, then reposition the image in the print options and print again with the result of tiling the image down the page. However, this would be considerably time consuming since I want to print at least 100 business cards.
If anyone has any knowledge on this subject, help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks much,
Rachael

About printing business cards

once i have the template finished finaly figuring out the cut and paste thing (thanks to these posts).Can't I print out the bussines cards on my h.p all in one printer? does anyone know what kind of blank business cards do i get? I went to office max and there is all different numbers on them,dont know which ones or how to proceed from there. what steps do i have top do? when I look at the preview page before print it is smaller and doesnt look like it will print the right size.

Get the kind of stock that is designed for your type printer (laser or inkjet). I recommend the "clean edge" type, it really does break off easily with no perforations. Decide whether you need two sided or not. Decide the type of finish you want. After setting up your template print one page out on plain paper to see if everything is properly aligned as card stock isn't cheap. If things aren't aligned properly adjust your text boxes so the text fits properly on each card. Also, do a test with plain paper to determine how to orient your page stock (face up, face down, which paper tray or input to use, etc.)

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 !!!

How i can receive business cards from others....?

i don't know how to receive business card on my i phone.....though i know i can the contact through the share option.....can any genious or tech person help me ........................

Now, do I need to create new communication channel (Sender)?
Only one sender channel will be required.....the one which gets the message from ECC......other will be the SOAP receiver channel.
In what format is ECC sending the request....it should be PROXY/ RFC since it is a synchronous call.
My service interface has request, response, and fault roles. Also its mode is synchronies. But I couldn't get vendor
response.
Are both the (outbound and inbound) services interfaces defined as Synchronous?
Is the proper wsdl imported in ESR from the vendor?
Are you atleast able to see some response node generated in the processing entry in SXMB_MONI?
Regards,
Abhishek.

What type of paper setting should I adjust my printer to for printing business cards?

HP PSC 2210 all in one
Win XP Pro Media 3rd ed.
No error message
no changes made to the system
I am trying to print out some business cards using Avery 5876 2-sided printable business cards.
When I print a test sheet out of my biz cards on regular 20# paper stock and adjust the settings just so, everything goes well and a trial run using the regular 20 # stock everything comes out great! But when I put in the Avery card stock and hit go, the printer goes a lot slower while making the script and images very dark with excess toner on the card stock only. But not on the paper stock. Why is this?
Should I should change the paper settings on the printer from automatic to what setting for business card stock? If so, to what setting? -- Special papers, greeting cards, brochure papers or what??? PLEASE ADVISE.
THANKS,
Scott

Is the stock designed for inkjet printers? The cardstock is likley being misread as photo paper by the automatic sensor. I would suggest trying with brochure paper, other inkjet paper or card stock in that order.
