HP 1315v Business Card Layout problem....

Hi, I love my 1315v and this is the first time I've had a problem with it.  I'm trying to print out business cards, designed in Adobe Illustrator CS5 onto Avery Inkjet Business Card Stock #8376.  Every time I print, it changes alignment.  The image is the exact right size, and placed perfectly to line up with the perforations in the card stock but, each time I print, the images are placed in a seemingly random position.  Sometimes they're at the top (margins be damned), sometimes they're just a hair or two off the mark.
I've got the latest driver (in fact, there hasn't been an update in a couple of years), and I've been searching all over trying to figure out the issue.  I thought it might have something to do with printable space, but that doesn't seem to be it.  I've tinkered with just about every setting in Illustrator, to no avail.  I'm at my wits' end here.
Does anyone know what the problem is?

I have an HP Deskjet D1520, and I was having the same issue printing business cards. Avery Template 8869.
I have solved the issue for ALL HP printers that are having this issue.
I remove the top tab off the paper. Where is says "Side 1 / Side 2".
I then remove the top margin from the template. I Zero it out. In the page setup in MS word or what ever your using.
With the printer turned off <<<<<<<----printer has to be off. I manually feed the paper into the printer. So now the paper is offset the width of the torn off strip. I then set the printer to best setting. Also it seems to help to have the paper tray half full. "No idea why." I then hit print. After I hit print I turn on the printer. The printer thinks the paper is fully inserted....which it is.
The printer will warn that it is outside the printer are....ignore it, and it will be fine.
I have tried this on 4 HP Printers, and it has worked flawless. I hope this helps others. I was getting very unhappy to say the least.

  • Make business cards

    I'm halfway figuring out how to make business cards from other programs I've used on different computers.  But halfway on my MacBook with iWorks 9 !  The problem I run into is creating ONE on a sheet of 8 or 10, then how to make all the others the same.  "Duplicate" is very awkward and it's almost the same as creating 10 separately then they aren't identical.  In Word, I could make one then tell it to fill the page.  I could use a blank document or any of the pre made business cards, same problem duplicating...
    I also wish there were an Avery hook up.

    When I do this and there isn't an automatic feature in the application I first duplicate once, position it and then group the two cards. Now I duplicate that and group again having now 4 cards. Duplicate again and you have 8 cards!
    You could also try Option and drag to duplicate and position the card/s

  • 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.

  • Re: c4450 card stock (avery 8371 business card stock) margin printing problems

    I have been dealing with this for a while now. Finally researched the problem and You are right! The printer only works with less than 110 lb paper stock. It says in the the specifications. I have to go buy a new printer. Even the photopaper jams and sticks.
    Sorry HP, you have to do better than this. It uses tons of ink...sick of paying $37 for printer cartridges from HP.

    nellang507,
    Sorry to hear that you too have encountered the "HP Wandering Margin Problem" that occurs with sheet business card printing.
    One issue is that most people don't know the 110lb stock specification or what to look for.
    We had tried printing on both avery business card sheets (probably 110lb + stock) and cheaper generic business card sheets (probably less than 100lb stock) and had the same problem. Even 4 sheets of regular paper taped together on the long sides would print ok but not perforated business cards.
    Here is one link to similar problems people have had as you: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-printing-questions/Avery-Business-Card-Printing-quot-WANDERING-MA...
    Good luck with it!

  • C4450 card stock (avery 8371 business card stock) margin printing problems

    printing to plain paper works fine every time
    printing to cardstock starts printing on the top edge (no margin)
    if i peel the top margin perferation then it prints somewhere else on the page
    did i just buy a printer that cant do cardstock? if not then how do you fix it.
    this is a hardware problem (brand new printer) not a software problem - does the same thing for every software pac that i use
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I tried printing using a matte photo paper, but it didn't work.  My HP C4280 still prints without a left margin on Avery business card stock.
    This IS a bug.  It has to be.  Why on earth would anyone build a printer by design that prints without the margin just because a different paper is used?  If I print with plain paper, it prints just fine.  But when I put in Avery paper, no good.  
    What is the point to this?  So that Avery makes more money from customers who waste business card paper?  So that HP makes more money from customers who waste ink?  I am not happy.  This should NOT be happening.
    HP, fix this problem now.

  • Control to layout a design for instance a business card

    From my cold fusion app I want to have a control (any adobe control) to lay out a design for a business card . Is there any control that I can out of the box? I would prefer to use a Flash control.
    Thanks in advance.

    Dear,
    If you have ABAP team with you, an email to user SAP inbox will trigger from each transaction.
    We implemented this for PR level for each 1200 individual user / management release authorities, which informs by an email about the status of PR. once the final release done based on purchase group - an email will trigger to central procurement department all responsible persons indicating purchase order awaiting.
    NOW material rejection - reference to 122 and 102 movement is under study. Once any material rejected the system send email to procurement, stores personnel and management informing the material was rejected.
    Similar, based on the presentations and indepth meeting held with ABAP and FUNCTIONAL teams, workflow can be trigger on each event (not sure the all processes you mentioned in your post). But I hope possibility exists.
    THE ONLY POINT YOU SHOULD KEEP IN MIND AND INFORM MANAGEMENT - SYSTEM PERFORMANCE WILL AFFECT A LOT. SYSTEM WILL SLOW DOWN AS MANY WORKFLOWS EXISTS. CONSULT BASIS TEAM ALSO.

    I am curious where you got the tutorial, and which version of InDesign Server you are using. Also, can you show the contents of the businesscards.jsx script?
    In the meantime, it seems like the connection from Flex to InDesign is working since your script is running and producing output. The next step is to check the arguments being passed to the script, and how the script is accessing and using the arguments.
    You can add this to your jsx script to test the values of the arguments:
    var myName = app.scriptArgs.IsDefined("name") ? app.scriptArgs.getValue("name") : "name undefined";
    app.consoleout("scriptArg name = " + myName);
    var myCompany = app.scriptArgs.IsDefined("company") ? app.scriptArgs.getValue("company") : "company undefined";
    app.consoleout("scriptArg company = " + myCompany);
    var myTitle = app.scriptArgs.IsDefined("title") ? app.scriptArgs.getValue("title") : "title undefined";
    app.consoleout("scriptArg title = " + myTitle);
    To see the values, watch the InDesign Server console window. If you are not getting the values you expect, check your mxml code to make sure the variable names are valid, etc. If you are getting the values you expect, examine your businesscards.jsx to make sure you are using the values as required to populate the InDesign document.

  • What software for business cards ?

    What software can I use to create business cards except Word ? Thanks

    When I did this allot, I would use photoshop and illustrator in order to create any logos, or images that I wanted. From there I would use Adobe In-Design in order to do the actual layout, and to make them multi up on a page for printing. Just remember when you are doing your layout that a standard business card is 2" tall by 3.5" wide. Also remember when you are setting them onto a page for printing that "MOST" printers will not print within .25" of the edge of a piece of paper. With that in mind you will need to make sure that you either compensate and shift all of your content in on the page in order to keep it from being a problem, or make sure that nothing is printed (including any background) within .25" of the edge of the card itself. You can set up cards to get 12 individual cards onto a single sheet by setting them up into a landscape format and placing your first card in top left corner of that sheet, then do 3 cards across, and 4 cards down on the page.
    There are also LOTS of business card specific programs out there that you can try out, but I found that I got best results by using the programs that I mentioned above.

  • Pages '08 Business Card Template Question

    In Pages '08, is there a way to change the business card template page view to a single card view, allowing me to create one card that would automatically display itself in all 10 positions when the layout is changed to multiple card view? This can be done with the old Appleworks program, but I can find no way to do this with Pages. It seems I have to choose a card template, modify one of the boxes with my info, then copy and paste it into the other 9 boxes. Is this correct? If so, it is a step way behind the Applewoprks method.

    Yes it is a step backwards, but herre is the way to work with it.
    Create your one card, highlight all of its components, group them, then copy and paste it into the space below it perfectly. NOW DON'T TOUCH ANOTHER KEY!!! Instead, just repeat the paste function (Command+V) 3 times to fill the left side of the card stock. Now paste another one in the right top spot, select the right top, copy and paste and then position in the next lower spot to repeat what you did on the left side. If you positioned the second card correctly, this should have only taken maybe 1-1½ minutes.
    Good Luck.

  • Import Crystal Reports Dunning letter as SAP Business One layout

    Hello,
    I have created a dunning letter in Crystal Reports. I want to import this layout as a layout (not a report) in Business One.
    Problem is that I don't know the parameters in the report so I can import the layout between the standard PLD layouts (like Dunning 1, dunning 2 dunning 3 dunning all etc). I tried a few but import fails everytime. You also don't get any errormessage when the layout cannot be imported.
    Anybody knows what parameters to use in this report? Thanks.
    Regards Thijs

    Hello Gordon/ Rahul,
    Thanks for yor reply.
    I already created a Crystal report that runs as a report. In this case you select the WizardName and the report will give an output of all dunning letters in this report.
    Unfortunately it is not possible to import this report because when I do that I only get the error that SAP Business One couldn't import the layout. EXporting a layout is af course not possible because only PLD layouts are available in dunning.
    Regards Thijs

  • How do I add a business card to a signature without image

    Hi everyone,
    Please forgive me if the answer is here, but I could not find it.
    I am using Windows 7 Home Premium and Outlook 2010. I’d like to add a Business Card (vCard) to be included with my signature but this also adds an image of it in my signature which I do not want.
    Is there any way to create my signature with the vCard attachment but without the image of it?  I found an article that looked promising, but I could never get it to work.
    http://www.msoutlook.info/question/487
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Respectfully,
    Terry
     

    Save your signature with vCard and exit Outlook.
    in htm file in Signatures directory find above sentence and delete it.
    <v:shape id="_x0000_i1025" type="#_x0000_t75" style='width:187.5pt; height:112.5pt'>

  • HP C4680 all in one printer out of alignement when printing avery business cards.

    I recently purchased an HP C4680 all in one printer and have found
    that it will not print Avery clean edge C32028-25 business cards. It
    prints ok on plain paper and when you compare against the business card
    sheet everything is in the correct position. However when you print the
    actual cards the printed area creeps up the page and some of the print
    is off the cards ruining the sheet. I am using avery design pro
    software version 5. The print preview shows the printing area correctly.
    Please advise of a fix for this issue.

    I have the same problem with my HP Officejet Pro 8000 using Avery business cards.  I don't think HP knows how to fix the problem.  I was told by HP to select card stock as my paper type, but that is not on my menu.  I may have to adjust my PageMaker template to counter the creep.  You would think that this would be an adustment that could be made in the software. It amounts to 1/8" over the whole page.  I don't plan on much help from HP since I have not received any help in the past.

  • Printing of a logo and text on business cards, paper, etc.

    Dear reader(s),
    Let me introduce myself; my name is Matthew Hennessy from the Netherlands and I mostly PhotoShop, Illustrate for a hobby (for the last 5 years).
    In the past 5 years I have learned a lot when it comes to designing, but this isn't enough. A few weeks ago my boss asked me to design a new logo and new text, with the intention of using it on business cards, brief paper and envelopes.
    Now here comes the part you have seen coming, I really need to know a few things about the printing process, and the settings necessary to make a 'print ready' file. I have already done some research, but still some things are very unclear to me. If any answers could be given to the following questions, that would be more than appreciated!
    Questions:
    1. Crop marks - I have seen a lot of tutorials on the internet where people refer to 'crop marks', why are these necessary? What are they? What are they used for? How can I set the preferences and how can I see if I use the 'crop marks' correctly?
    2. Trim marks - I have seen a few people talking about this. Are 'trim marks' the same as 'crop marks'?
    3. Bleeding - this is something I really try to figure out, and already did my best but I'm not getting any wiser! Example given of my problem:
    I'm planning to (when this comes to an end), order business cards, brief paper and envelopes on Vistaprint (Dutch site). The preferred size is 1. 90mm x 52mm (complete document) or 2. 87mm x 49mm (cut off).
    What is the difference between these two sizes? I suppose this has something to do with the bleeding, but what?
    Now this is what confuses me, and I don't think I'm the only one:
    3.1. I made a new document in Illustrator CS5, with the 'complete document' measurements 90mm x 52mm (300DPI, CMYK). Do I need to input bleeding before I push ok?
    3.2. I made a new document in Illustrator CS5, with the 'cut off document' measurements 87mm x 49mm (300DPI, CMYK). Do I need to input bleeding before I push ok?
    4. Is there a checklist or anything to do this perfectly? As you can imagine I don't want to mess this up.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated, e-mail contact would be great too: [email protected]
    Thank you for reading, I will be around to look for replies! Thanks again!

    1. Crop marks - I have seen a lot of tutorials on the internet where people refer to 'crop marks', why are these necessary? What are they? What are they used for? How can I set the preferences and how can I see if I use the 'crop marks' correctly?
    Forget so-called "Crop Marks." Crop Marks and Crop Region are Illustrator-specific terms. It's an Illustrator feature that creates a set of (grossly oversized) printable marks on the Artboard for the printing house to use as trim indicators and/or (depending on version) to define a region for output when you export the file in certain formats. Other programs in Illustrator's genre don't even have this feature because it's really not necessary. Historically, it was Illustrator's workaround for its lack of a proper bleed feature and single-page limitation. I never even use Illustrator's Crop Marks. If I want trim marks to print, I simply draw my own.
    Trim marks is an industry term. Trim marks are short hairlines which align to the edges at which you want the paper to be trimmed after printing, but are placed outside the actual trim rectangular area so that they get trimmed away. In most projects destined for offset printing, it's a good practice to draw proper trim marks in the bleed area of the page. The print dialog also provides a Printer Marks feature that will cause trim marks (among other things) to print outside the Artboard. (You don't need to worry about that in this scenario.)
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    2. Trim marks - I have seen a few people talking about this. Are 'trim marks' the same as 'crop marks'?
    So as explained above, Illustrator Crop Marks is an Illustrator feature commonly used to draw trim marks. I don't use that feature. It wastes space.
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    3. Bleeding - this is something I really try to figure out, and already did my best but I'm not getting any wiser! Example given of my problem:
    Bleed is an industry term that simply means you want ink to print "right to the edge of the paper." That's not actually possible on a commercial offset press. So if the design requires "right to the edge of the paper" printing, you cheat: You print on a larger-than-final-size sheet, put trim marks to indicate the final size of the piece, and design so that anything that is supposed to "print to the edge" actually extends beyond those trim marks. Theoretically, if the physical processes of commercial printing were perfect, you could draw your design "just to" the trim. But paper expands and shrinks with humidity changes, Press sheets jog around a bit as they get picked up by the suction lifts and grippers and shoved and squished between the rollers. (It's a mechanical miracle that the process works at all, and has for over a century. A full-size CMYK offset sheetfed press is a marvelous piece of engineering.) After printing and drying the sheet is trimmed at the trim marks, and the artwork that extends beyond the trim marks is chopped off.
    Typically in commercial offset printing, 1/8 inch of "extra artwork" beyond the trim is sufficient to allow for the inaccuracies of the process.
    Now here's the thing: If you are working in the traditonal manner with a commercial printing house, you know the press size and sheet size that will be used for the project. You can do all kinds of things at the design stage to minimize unnecessary work at the printing house by "designing for the press sheet." For example, in the press houses with which I work, I would never deliver a business card project output file as a single-card image on a single-card-sized page. No conventional offset printer is going print business cards one-card-at-a-time on 3.5 x 2 inch sheets. They are going to "gang" (step & repeat) multiple images of the card on one press sheet.
    Typically, I would know in advance the press sheet size that is going to be used and the necessary space for gripper and press sheet margins. I would set up the software page to the size of the press sheet and arrange multiple instances of the card in that space. I would draw my own trim marks for each card in the array. If the sheet size is such that it will result in alot of paper just going in the waste bin, I may design some other piece in the otherwise unused area (a bookmark or hangtag, for example) and thereby get an "almost free" second document out of the press run. If the cards is designed to be printed on both sides, I will often arrange the page to accommodate "work and turn" printing, wherein both sides of the card gets printing on one side of the sheet, the sheets are simply flopped over and run through the press again. That avoids the need for a second press setup.
    But since everybody and his third cousin's nephew is now a "designer," many printing houses have set up "click & drag" printing solutions on the web. Such solutions make it "quick & easy" (not necessarily cheaper) for the neophyte and "idiot proof" for the printer by removing the above-described flexibility and designing "one size fits all" workflows. That's what you're chasing with the Vistaprint vendor.
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    I'm planning to (when this comes to an end), order business cards, brief paper and envelopes on Vistaprint (Dutch site). The preferred size is 1. 90mm x 52mm (complete document) or 2. 87mm x 49mm (cut off).
    What is the difference between these two sizes? I suppose this has something to do with the bleeding, but what?
    In the Vistaprint .ai template for design-your-own business cards I just downloaded to see what you're talking about, they have the artboard set to accommodate a design with bleed. You don't have to design bleeding elements, but the space is there if you do.
    The AI Artboard (page) is 90 x 52 mm. Think of that as your bleed area. If there are elements in your design that you want to "print to the edge" of the finished card, draw them all the way to the edges of the Artboard. The printer is, in effect, telling you that if you do that, then you will be providing enough "extra" artwork to accommodate the inherent variances in the printing/triming process.
    The (grossly overthick) 87 x 49mm red rectangle is the trim. So it effectively is the "trim marks". It represents the final card after it is trimmed down to final size. That's the size your cards will be when delivered. That roughly coresponds to the 3.5 x 2 inch dimensions that are considered the norm in the US. I don't know about what's the convention in Europe, but assuming it is the same as in the US, that's the size you want the cards to be. Business cards that are even slightly oversized usually end up in the trash can because they often don't fit pockets in card-carriers or plastic sleeves.
    The (grossly overthick) blue rectangle is the so-called "safe area". That's nothing more than a suggested "safe design margin" between your artwork and the trim. The idea is that you are supposed to keep any elements of the design that you don't want to risk getting "too close" to the edges of the final piece--or even getting chopped off by the trim--within that rectangle. Magazines and newspapers are also fond of providing "safe area" in their add space specs. I ignore them. I know what kind of visual "margins" I want in my designs and I know when I am risking getting too close to the trim. But an amateur designer may think it brilliant to "make a title as big as possible" and actually crowd text almost right up against the trim (in other words, poor design). Then he gets upset when the normal variance in the printing/trimming process causes the text to actually get cut on some of the finished pieces. By providing that rectangle, the printer is telling you "Don't blame us if some of your artwork is too close to the trimmed edge if you place that artwork beyond this rectangle."

    3.1. I made a new document in Illustrator CS5, with the 'complete document' measurements 90mm x 52mm (300DPI, CMYK). Do I need to input bleeding before I push ok?
    3.2. I made a new document in Illustrator CS5, with the 'cut off document' measurements 87mm x 49mm (300DPI, CMYK). Do I need to input bleeding before I push ok?
    In the "idiot proof" template that Vistaprint has provided, they are treating the Artboard size as the bleed, and the red rectangle as the trim. So there is no need for you to include trim or bleed marks in your design.
    Just set up your AI document exactly as the template that Vistaprint provided. Better, actually use their document file and paste your artwork into it on the Layer named "Your Design". When arranging your artwork, leave the (poorly named) "Guides" Layer visible, but locked. Make any art elements (background fills, etc.) that you want to "print to the edge" of the finished card extend all the way to the Artboard edge. Keep all other design elements within the "safe margin" blue rectangle.
    All this is explained, by the way, in the See Accepted File Types link on the Vistaprint site.
    When done, delete the Layer named "Gudies." Deliver the file to the printer. I would not deliver the .ai file; I would deliver a PDF. If you insist on delivering as an .ai file, convert all text to paths (a practice I despise). If you deliver as PDF, simply choose File>Save A Copy... in Illustrator. In the resulting dialog, select Adobe PDF as the file type. In the next dialog, leave the top menu set to Illustrator Defaults, but set the compatibility popup to Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3). That should be fine.
