Printing a Two sided greeting card

I am trying to design a two sided greeting card, but I do not seem to be able to find such a project as that in Photoshop.  Print shop has a double sided greeting card where you desgin the fron and back and then go to the inside of the card.  anybody have any suggestions.
thanks

Go to File>new>blank file, and in the dialog enter the height & width of your paper stock, set resolution 240-300 px/in, and design the components for your card. You will have to place these, each on their own layer, so that they print out in the correct orientation and that the fold of the card is centered. This will require some experimentation until you get it just right. View>grid may help in the placement.
The various card printing programs, such as Print Shop, readily allow accurate two-sided printing. You can import your design from Elements to the appropriate page(s) of the template.
There are also available templates (free) from Avery. Half fold greeting card #3265, for example, is available in landscape and portrait orientation in Microsoft Word application:

  • How to share a double sided greeting card

    i created a double sided greeting card (5x7) portrait and selected email attachment under share tab. The result was two separate files. First file was the front of the card and second file was the inside of the card. Not resembling a card. Is there any way to share a card and have it resemble the actions of a real card. (ie: front of card shows first then by clicking next or open or ?? u see the inside of the card?) 

    The card templates are really designed for printing but you could try saving as a PDF file and then attching that to an email.

  • Printing a two-sided brochure

    When I printed a two-sided brochure with the former Pages,  I would select options Two-Sided and Short-Edge Binding and the text would print correctly.  With the new Pages there isn't and option for borders when printing so the text prints correctly on the first page but the text is upside down on the second side.  How do I fix this?

    I googled this for you:

    Wait for it to dry, then flip it, a good idea anyway, unless you like your work smudged and ripped.
    or, what you should have done, print single sided, then single sided again for the 2nd side.
    Inkjets are such slow, expensive, bad ideas. I don't know why people are so attached to them, except they appear cheap when you first buy them.

  • Can group print orders ( example various greeting card designs) to one shipment

    I recently ordered two types of greeting cards within minutes from each others. They were handled and shipped separately. One has arrived the other hasn't. Does iPhoto have a shopping cart type of feature ( like many others do) This way I can group my orders into one shipment ( 2 books, various size prints, greeting cards ) 

    No.    Only multiple copies of the same item are shipped together. The two different card types constitute two different orders and must be shipped separately.

  • Best Printer for Two-Sided Printing?

    Hi all,
    I do a lot of printing of very long documents (up to 300 pages each) - right now I have an Epson CX4800 Inkjet which works very well, but I fear I am running it into the ground. Also, I am going through tons of paper and ink. I'd like to get an inexpensive laser printer (under $300) that can do duplex (two-sided) printing so that I can use less paper when printing out early drafts of projects. I don't want to have to manually flip the pages over and put them back through the printer because I am a ditz and a klutz and always wind up getting the pages in the wrong order when I do this - thus wasting even more paper. I just want a printer that can do automatic two-sided printing for under $300. Am I delusional?

    No matter what printer you are going for (please specify if you are looking for a colour or mono laser), the biggest expense you would encounter are consumables: toner, drums, transport belts, fuser unit. The reason you should do that first is that consumers are lured into buying a cheap printer and by the time of the first toner change they have to spend as much money as they did on a printer.
    What you have to do first is look around for a printer that has lowest cost for consumables (i.e. lowest cost per page print). The easiest thing to do would be take a supplier of consumables, and write down all the prices for the toner for specific models of printers, then divide them by the number of pages you can print from that toner - in this case you will get a breakdown for each colour: say, a replacement toner costs £50 and yields 4500 prints (with standard 5% page coverage) = 1p per page for that colour. Then compare this costs against the costs of your other candidates and you got yourself the most cost-efficient printer.
    Besides that though, you might hav e to spend money on things like drum (lasts for about 25000-40000 pages in SOHO printers) and transfer belt (again, 25000-40000) - but that all depends on a printer, as sometimes toner and drum are separated, so you have to get both, sometimes they are in one set, which cuts your costs.
    In my case, I've got a Xerox Phaser 6120, and although it might not be suited for you, it's OK for me as duplex unit can be added on, and I don't do this many prints. In your case my biggest concern would be, as I have said, the prices for consumables.

  • Keeping Printer setup @ two sided printing

    I know that I can set a page to print both sides each time I print but have been unable to find a way to set it up to stay on two sided printing. Am I missing something? Can it be done?

    Steve -- for some reason this isn't working for me. My iMac's printer driver settings themselves revert to having the two-sided printing option unchecked, as if I didn't want that option available. So even the "Last Used Settings" gambit doesn't work.
    What's weird are these two things: (1) it used to work flawlessly --- never needed to reset that, it always was available, and usually, of course, I wanted it. the exceptions were in printing photo paper, so I'd just set the print options for the software -- Aperture or whatever-- to single-sided, but always in Word or Preview I still had the two-sided option there and could select it. Now, I need first to go to the System Preferences spot and set the printer driver to using the two sided setting.  (2) my laptop (MacBook Pro of same vintage as the iMac) doesn't have the problem.
    Any ideas?

  • My printer will not recognize greeting card stock and I cannot use card programs.

    I have changed all of the necessary thing when loading card stock into the printer, and yet the printer asks for paper.  It doesn't recognize the card stock and I cannot use any of my greeting card programs.

    You are not alone with this issue. I wish that HP would accept the fact that printing with card stock is an issue that needs to be addressed and corrected. My Officejet 8600 Plus will not pick up nor print any weight (67 or 110) card stock. It is listed in their specifications that it will! Neither Best Buy or Office Depot could get their display units to print card stock either. Under troubleshooting they list a series of steps that do not apply to the basic problem. When trying to print to card stock you receive a "Out of Paper" error message. It is a known issue and not being addressed. I just posted this same problem so will see what comes back and stay in touch.

  • Printing more than one greeting card at a time?

    Does anyone know whether iPhoto 6 lets you print more than one greetings card at a time to save on postage? The postage changes for one type of card if you order 10 or more copies so I was wondering whether you could order 9 different cards (ie with different designs and pictures) and only pay for one lot of postage?
    I've had a quick look on the apple support page and in iPhoto help but haven't yet found anything that addresses this issue.
    Many thanks.

    i too recently emailed apple about this, and have not recieved a reply.
    however, i just found this statement on the support page:

    Can I order multiple cards in one order?
    You can order multiple copies of the same card in a single order, but a separate order will be placed for each unique card. For example, changing the color of your card will result in another order.
    sounds like the answer is no.

  • My printer prints everything fine except my quarterfold greeting cards

    my hp psc 2355 printer works fine for most things except when i go to print out a quarterfold greeting card from "the printshop".
    the face of the card should be printed on one quadrant of the paper but instead its printing about two inches further towards the middle of the page.
    i have uninstalled the printer and reinstalled it, tried realigning the print cartridges, updating drivers and many other things i could think of. some of the cards i can print out successfully but for some reason the quarterfold cards don't print right. i even thought it might be in the software itself but after i hooked up another printer, it printed out right. please help!!

    [Please do not post multiple posts of the same topic...]
    The most likely issue is the printer is having trouble feeding the relatively thick card stock.  Cleaning the feed rollers may help, see this page.

  • How to do two sided printing automatically with HP 7520 printer

    All that I am trying to do is to make my printer do two sided or double sided printing.  No matter what I check IT DOES NOT WORK.  I checked "2-sided, 1 to 2, NOTHING.  What amazes me is that this worked until recently and now it just will not do double sided printing.  I am probably doing something wrong, but WHAT?

    Generally speaking, duplex printing is accessed / adjusted from Printing Preferences.
    If you are printing from within an application, for example, within Word or within your Browser, you might reach Printing Preferences from Print Preview.
    Reference:
    Manage Print Output with Print Preview
    Excerpted:
    Print Preview – Accessing the Printing Preferences

  • The print menu on my MacBook Air won't allow me to select two sided printing, how do I do this?

    Hi Community,
    I recently purchased a MacBook Air (my very first Mac) and I cannot access all of the printing options when I print.  I am able to print and the printer driver was downloaded, but my options are limited.  I cannot enable two sided printing, which is something I was able to do with my current printer via my old laptop.  I am in grad school and have a lot of journal articles to print and read that are 60-70 pages each.  I'd much rather print these two sided to save paper.  I have the latest version of OS X (version 10.8.5) and my printer is an HP Laser Jet P2035n. 
    Can anyone help me fix this issue so I don't have to use my old laptop to print?
    Thanks,
    Melissa

  • How can I print two-sided with Mountain Lion and an Epson WF-2540?

    I just purchased an Epson WF-2540 printer with two-sided printing capabilities. The manual includes easy to follow instructions on doing this with a PC. However, it doesn't seem to be present in OSX Mountain Lion (10.8.4). I have looked all over for the answer, but nothing helps with this specific problem. It seems like, before Mountain Lion, there was a simple check-box within system preferences>print and fax>options and supplies>drivers that said "duplexer." Now, that option is not present. I would love to be able to use this function on my new printer. Thanks for all of your help!

    I have the answer ...
    The Epson WF-2540 does not appear to be a two-sided printer!
    Reference this article:
    http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/jsp/Product.do?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&sku=C11CC36 201
    The following is extracted from that article:
    There is no reference anywhere in what I've shown or the rest of the article to two-sided printing.
    Compare that to my Epson Workforce 645, which is a two sided printer.  Here's what it says in the Epson writeup:
    ... and indeed my options under the Layout dropdown menu look a lot different from yours, and from there I can choose two sided (whether I've attached as AirPrint or not, by the way).

  • Two sided printing on an HP Officejet 6500 Wireless

    When I print using two sided the printer cuts off the top half of the second side. It misses several lines of print. If I print the same document and do not make it two sided it prints properly. If I try to print 4 pages two sided - it will print the first one, bottom half of the second and then leave it in the print q with an error????

    I don't think that printer supports AirPrint. To get it to work you will need to install something like Printopia. That's what I had to do and it works great.
