HT4007 printing greeting cards with 7" width & 5" height

I print photos on greeting cards with specific dimensions: each greeting card is 7 inches in width & 10 inches in height; each is scored in the middle allowing me to print 2 (5x7") photos per card. Whenever a photo is printed it is not in a landscape mode. It seems to me that Aperture is defaulted to print 5x7" photos with the width being 5" & the height 7". I place the greeting card into the printer with the width being 7" & the height 5" with the orientation being in the portrait mode. To date, I have had no luck printing a photo with the correct orientation on the greeting card.

Have you tried to edit a custom print preset like the above? Page size 10x7 inches,
image siz 5x7, 2 rows, one column, orientation landscape, no borders?
Works for me.
Regards
Léonie

IPhoto 08 makes it difficult to print greeting cards

It seems to me that it should be easier to print greeting cards yourself from iPhoto. I have tried many ways and there are no options to adjust the print size. No one makes paper the correct size, and printing on a Letter sized page doesn't work. In fact, it seems to crop the bottom of the page off even printing on a larger paper.
Has anyone had luck printing cards? The idea of ordering them seems absurd.

Yes, the card feature is designed to encourage ordering thru Apple. If you have a 3rd party image editor that handles layers, like Photoshop Elements for Mac, you can follow Tutorial #8 to print cards.
Happy Holidays
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Problems printing Greeting Cards from iPhoto 6 and 8

I've had this problem since I tried it in iPhoto 6, and that is printing greeting cards in iPhoto doesn't work with my inkjet printer. When the first page prints, it's not centered, so when I flip the page and print page 2, they are not aligned and won't cut correctly. My Aunt is able to print cards from iPhoto but only by doing some long 20 step process of exporting them to jpgs using Preview, then printing them from some custom template in Pages. When Mr. Jobs said "Home Printing" was going to be fixed in '08, I got all excited only to see I'm having the same problems. Any one have any luck with this from inside iPhoto?

Mark:
If you have a 3rd party editor that can handle layers take a look at Tutorial #8.

Can Anyone Tell Me How to Create Greeting Cards with Photoshop Elements 7 or 8?

I need a 7x10 page setup so that when the card is folded to a 5x7 my photo is landscape on the outside of the card. Currently I can only find a 8 1/2 x 11 paper size.
Thanks,
Lexington59

In Photoshop Elements 8 Editor, go to the Create tab, and you will see Greeting card, with 5x7 page size.

BUG: Unable to publish any photo with a width or height 800 pixels.

My first attempts to publish a Photo page resulted in an alarmingly consistent: "Publish error: an error occurred while publishing file {filename}.jpg". These are standard .jpgs from a variety of digital cameras which I've been putting up on various photo pages using Homepage directly in .Mac, so one would think that they would work in iWeb without a hitch.
Well.... it just doesn't work, and it stalls as soon as it hits "Uploading Photos..." before I eventually get the "Publish error" described above.
This appeared to be file dimensions related (I was able to get a much smaller image to publish), so I investigated.
A file that's 667 wide by 1000 high fails every time. Scale down to 334 x 500, it works. Trying some sizes in between: 534x800 works. 666x999 fails. (567x850 fails. 550x825 fails. 534x801 fails.
So my guess is, it's looking like any picture with a dimension greater than 800 pixels on either side will fail. Let's test this.
Stretching the image to 800x800: It works!
Stretch it again to 801x800: It fails!
The verdict: can't publish a photo with a width or height > 800 pixels.

Apple: please fix this....! It's possible to work around this for now, but this is totally undocumented and not very friendly...!

Problems printing perforated greeting card with PS D7260

I'm making Christmas cards on photo quality note paper - 2/page. When I print the second side, the paper gets stuck and the perforation comes apart and I have jam. One half jammed and the other half in the paper feed. With my previous printer (I think it was a 8190 - not sure) I never had a problem. How can this be correct? I hate the thought of printing my cards on half fold photo quality card paper and having to cut.
Any suggestions?
Helen

I would suggest detaching the cards before printing. Break the cards in half and then load them in the printer. Select the proper paper size for the half cards.

Best software to print greeting cards

I need a software recommendation to print greeting type cards, messages or notes on card stock ~ 4x5 in. I've used Publisher in the past and was wondering it there's an alternative?

Thanks, dwb! I went ahead and ordered PS2. I actually have always enjoyed figuring out layouts and such, and, as I said in another post, I actually used to use PrintMaster even for kids' school projects when they were in grade school. There were so many things I used it for. But it has just become too difficult to use on my Windows side and was hoping to find something similar for Apple. They already shipped! If that's not fast, I don't know what is! We had Photoshop Elements with our old computer, but I found it far too difficult to comprehend. I think PS2 is probably more for people at my level of technical comprehension. Thank you again for your help! Marilyn

Print colors are not true when printing greeting cards. blue background is orange.

My Greeting cards have multiple colors. I'm only getting reds, yellows, orange. (Printer head Status:Color: Black/Yellow(GOOD) Magenta/Cyan(GOOD). Cartridge Dates(GOOD)

Printing greeting card

Someone please help!! I'm trying to print a greeting card but the printer keeps cutting off the right end of the card...its an hp deskjet 5740. I've already messed with the margins with no results.

I have a HP 1610 printer. When I go to "Page Set-up" I do have an option for "borderless 5 X 7". But after I print (on a precut 7 x 10 card stock) I still end up with a 3/5" white (unprinted) border on the right hand side of the card - front page, thereby cutting of what would be the color margin and white "frame". I was using Maple Leaf. I must experiment more!
I suppose, Apple really wants us to order the cards from them!
Old Toad - thank you for the Tutorial, but I don't think I would go to all that bother. Thank you anyway for all the details.

Printing greeting cards on elements 9

I cannot succssfully print a greeting card on elements 9. I have finally arrived at the conculsion that duplex printing is not possible. So I have been trying to print without the duplex feature enabled. The problem is when the page prints out the picture takes up the whole page - how do I shrink it to make it look like a greeting card?

Using one of the guides under, "Create?" I don't think those were done with duplex printing in mind (at least when doing home projects).
Could be a printer driver issue in regards to it printing too big. Can you preview before you print? Are the settings correct?

Can i use avery or hallmark blank greeting cards with pages?

I would like to make my own greeting cards using commercially available cards and templates, such as avery or hallmark's products, or plain cardstock. I'd appreciate any how-to advice on this subject, the simpler the better.

Stick the stock in the printer.
Download the Word templates from the company's websites and open them in Pages.

Does the OffficeJet 8500 pro support auto duplex printing on card with weight 256gsm or higher?

I'm looking for a printer with comparable print costs to the officejet 8500 pro but which will allow me to auto duplex print onto card so I can create colour postcards.
Will the 8500 pro handle this reliably, or is there a better choice?
Thanks

Printing Greeting cards

I wish to print my own cards using iPhoto 11 (9.1.1). I have chosen a theme and layout but I cant print the pastel-colored borders and patterns, only the photos and the text actually print.
What am I doing wrong?

You will have a problem aligning the front and back of the cards when printing them manually. To get the front and back in register you need to use a 3rd party editor that handles layers. These tutorials describe how: #8 - Printing a iPhoto Greeting Card and #8a - Printing a iPhoto Greeting Card to Standard Stock Sizes.
Try the following: Do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto. A jpeg image file of each page will be created and imported into iPhoto.
Click to view full size
See if they are correct as far as color, etc. Then you can follow the tutorials to print to your card stock.
