Print photocards at home, true to size

Works for every printer

1. 1

   Print at 100 %

   Turn off “fit to page” and “borderless”. Both enlarge or shrink your cards.

2. 2

   Calibrate once

   Print mallow’s test sheet and measure the 100 mm ruler. If it shows 98 mm, mallow corrects that printer’s scale (from 90 % to 110 %).

3. 3

   Cut inside the marks

   The artwork has 2 mm of bleed, so cutting a bit off never shows white.

Finishing

4. 4

   Cut with a paper trimmer, or a craft knife and metal ruler, along the marks.

5. 5

   Round the corners with a 3–4 mm corner punch.

6. 6

   Protect it with a sleeve and a toploader.
