Printing Photo Cards

I'm a new mac user and am loving the ease of the features so far. I just created a 5x7 photo card to print on my own printer (using a 10x7 card). The card that I selected has five photos on each side of the inside of the card. When they print, the right side of the photos on the right side of the card are getting cut off - not printing to the edge. In print preview it looks fine. Does anyone know what could solve this? Thanks!

Ansie:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Unfortunately most printers do not support borderless 10 x 7 printing and that's what you need to get both sides to align properly. If you have a 3rd party image editor that handles layers you can try Tutorial #8 for printing the card.
Do you Twango?
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.

    how to print blank photo cards?

    Please specify what system, (OS X 10.?)
    hardware of the computer model...
    and application you are using to print.
    If you have an Intel based Mac built after 2006, you are in a pre-Intel forum.
    PowerPC Macs cannot run an OS X newer than Leopard 10.5.8, in general.
    And many newer applications need the Intel-based hardware, not PPC.
    There are several ways of performing tasks, based on the software in use
    and this changes when you may have posted in a different area than your
    computer model, thus software suggestions based on this, may not apply.
    As a user-to-user support community, we have no way to know what your
    computer happens to be, its OS X, or the application you may be running.
    Some photo card stock (paper) requires a maker's software, to set it up.
    Without anything to go on, you could try an online search engine...
    Good luck!

  • Trying to print 4x8 photo cards with iPhoto

    I designed this wonderful photo card, 4 inches by 8 inches, but I'm unable to select that size when ordering prints. Is there anyone that knows where I can print such a sized picture? Most services I've found want to build the 4x8 card from your 4x6 snapshot.
    Thanks.

    Horizontal lines appear on photo printed on card stock; don't appear on photos printed on paper or other card stock.
    What's the difference between the first card stock and the other card stock? What's the finish on the problem card stock? What printer are you using?  Does is have a physical adjustment for different stock thicknesses?

  • How do I get my HP 2645 to print 4x6 cards. It gives me a mismatch paper size error

    How do I get my HP 2645 to print 4x6 cards?   It gives me a mismatch paper size error.

    Hi @aleek,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums! I see you would like to print 4x6 cards to your HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2645, when you attempt to print the card you get a 'Paper Mismatch' error.
    I would like you to go ahead and take a look in your User Guide on page 10, here it shows how to load the media and change the printing preferences, although it shows Photos, you would use the same guidelines and steps for the Index cards, just be sure to change the media type to the correct card you are using.
    Once you have the media loaded and settings set if you are still getting the error, continue here: 'Paper Mismatch,' or 'Paper Size Mismatch' Error Message Displays When Printing
    I hope this helps, if you have anymore questions please let me know.

  • How do I get an Office Jet 6500A to print on Card stock?

    How do I get an Office Jet 6500A to print on card stock. It pushes the card stock through the printer but will not print and tells me I have not selected the right print media. There is no selection for card stock.  I have tried every selection.  I assume there are other media definitions that can be downloaded but they certainly are not apparent.  I have been doing this job on all my other HP printers for years.  Suddenly this printer balks.

    Hi,
    Page #22 of the manual says (must be the same as photo paper ?):
    To load cards and photo paper
    1. Lift the output tray.
    2. Slide the paper width guide out as far as possible.
    3. Insert the media print-side down along the right of the main tray. Make sure the media aligns with the right and back edges of the tray and does not exceed the line marking in the tray. If the photo paper has a tab along one edge, make sure the tab is pointing towards the front of the printer.
    4. Slide the media guides in the tray to adjust them for the media size that you have loaded.
    5. Lower the output tray.
    6. Pull out the tray extender.
    And the manual is : h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02519721.pdf
    Regards.

  • 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.

  • Epson R300 prints photos very dark and oversaturated

    My Epson R300 recently began printing photos much darker and heavily saturated relative to what I see on my monitor. It seems to print ok directly from a CompactFlash. Photos I printed in the past no longer print good. I tried different programs (iPhoto and Photoshop) and print settings. I replaced all cartridges and reset the driver using Print Setup Utility. Any idea what I can try? Thanks.

    Have you checked that the ColorSync profiles are OK,
    and have not been changed? Use the ColorSync Utility
    to check them.
    This appears to be a printer problem and not a setup issue. The printer worked good for nearly 2 years. The color isn't just a little off. All colors are very dark like too much ink is being delivered to the paper.
    There is a definite red cast to whites in photos. Printing directly from a CF card (bypassing my computer) shows the same problem. I deleted and reinstalled the drivers. Tried all of the various settings. With/without Colorsync, printer color vs photoshop color. Tried iPhoto vs Preview vs Photoshop. Epson Print vs Gimp Print. Replaced all cartiridges. Used different paper types (Glossy Photo, Matte). Very frustrating!

  • 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.

  • HP Officejet 4630 printing on cards

    I am trying to print on cardstock from my officejet 4630.  When I do it cuts off the top of it.  It doesn't do this when I try to copy the same thing on plain paper.  What am I doing wrong?

    maacjones
    Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
    I am not sure you are doing anything wrong.  The problem might have to do with your Printing Preferences; the printer needs to know not only what size of paper you are using, but also the kind of paper, that is, the thickness of that paper.
    For example, you might try setting the Media type to a thicker paper type -- Brochure matte, Business cards, something that indicates a "thick" paper so the printer feeds the paper properly.
    Reference:
    Printing Preferences
    You can also check to assure the settings include some method to assure the content is set to fit within the confines of the printed area.  Depending on the source of the print -- web page content, document, photo, or mixed content, the settings may need to be set to "shrint to fit" in Print Preview.

  • Printing photos that are in events.

    I have printed photos, 4 to a page, from events in i-photo '08 several times. However, pics from my Egypt trip do not go away after I print, thereby requiring I cancel, which requires restarting fresh in the Event. This is a "real" hassle, since it never goes to the place where I quit printing. Since I have about 500 pics, this is a REAL problem. Help!!

    Delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, launch iPhoto and try again.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current.

  • FIM CM Bulk Smart Card Issuance Client and Printing Smart Cards

    Hi,
    From what we are reading, the Bulk Smart Card Issuance Client can be used to Issue and Print Smart Cards - what does MS mean by 'print smart cards'?
    Do they mean 'print on smart cards' like for instance users photo's?
    Or would we still need to utilize something like ID Works Software?
    Thanks

    With FIM-CM you are limited to which software Middleware and printers you can use (at least the version I am running FIM 2010).
    We are running ID Works Enterprise Edition 5.1 on a windows 7 x32 workstation.
    CM now supports ID Works Enterprise Edition 6.51 which supposedly can work on an x64 system but we haven’t tried it.
    One thing to note is the cm software patch.  The CM Update allows the bulk client to be installed on windows 7.  But you can't install the client on windows 7 to apply the patch that lets it run on 7.  The work around is the Microsoft released
    a copy of the bulk client with the patch already applied.  This worked fine for the install.  But we got errors when we tried to connect to the CM Servers.  It couldn't find the templates.  Turns out the dlls in the patched bulk client
    were newer than the .dlls on the CM server, and this was breaking the notification.  We patched the CM server, and everything was good. 
    For Printers we got 2 SP75 plus Datacard printers.  We wanted the higher capacity, and the ability to laminate both sides of the card.  We got two for coverage so we will have one when we have to send one in for repair.  (Not saying that the
    printers are "bad” but they take a lot of abuse printing, and need a lot of care).
    Although the Plus printers aren’t listed in the supported printers, we got confirmation from MS that the Plus worked (they replaced the older ones), but that the newer 95's probably wouldn't.  (I think they are a different kind of printer).
    One more data point to add.  Work out your Pin Policy before you buy your cards.
    We got our cards first, and then figured out our PIN policy.  If we knew our PIN Policy at purchase time, the manufacture (Gemalto) could have set it.   We have been working on ways to set it using CM.  But have finally given up. 
    We figured out how to set the PIN policy using APDU commands, and CM can do application management via APDU commands.  But it looks like it can only do that for Java Cards, and not the .net cards (yet, we keep hoping).  So we are going to set the
    Pin Policy before we bulk print.  And when we order our next set of cards, we will order them with the PIN policy set.
    Over all I am very happy with CM.  and there is a lot more information on setting it up now than there was a two years ago (thanks a lot to Paul Adare and Brian Komar,  who I am beginning to think are the same person.  Has anyone actually
    seen both of them at the same time?
