Re: Square photo inkjet cards?

Mark -

Here's a faster way to print your cards, even though there's a bit more work at the back end of the project:

Your can print multiple files on a larger sheet of paper -- I print 4 - 5 1/2 X8 1/2 inch cards on a sheet of 
13 X 19 paper, and space them so you can cut them to give you a 5 1/2 X 4 1/4  card which folds in 
half.  The fold is the blank and gives you the inside to write a message (or it can be blank on the outside,
with the photo on the inside.

Anyway, the process is fast once you make the setup, and you'll have your choice of many different papers. 
I use 315 gram  Photo Rag.  You will have to score the paper where the fold is, with a straight edge. 

Once you've done this a couple times, you'll wonder why you've every wanted to cut the paper first - much 
more work and trouble with multiple feeds to the printer.

Thanks, folks. I'd still prefer paper thatâ•˙s ready to use, but I'll keep the paper cutting option in mind
