why can't I print a half fold greeting card correctly?

You probably need to let your printer "Learn" the way it works. And if not, do a test print and see which way to put the paper back in... OR print on two pieces and glue the inside one to the middle of the fold.

The printer is very new to me, so I just tried 2 envelopes. While the printing was fine, both envelopes were "crinkled" at the left edge. They would be usable in the mail, but it is disappointing to see that they did not feed cleanly.

Having the same problem with mine! Please help! I tried everythign mikob suggested. Adding more paper, less paper, checking that it was pushed in all the way, ensuring the correct size was selected. Nothing is working... Could this be a defect?

Many pre-made templates don't print accurately. A lot depends on the printer you are using. I made my own template, printed it on plain paper to check alignment, and made adjustments until it lined up correctly. Then I saved my own template for next time. Hope that helps.

I am sorry you are having this problem. They are very handy little machines; the one I had before this one lasted almost 15 years. It sounds to me as though your machine is broken. As long as you are pressing the button marked Print, you seem to be doing everything correctly. You need to return the machine. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

I don't know. I have an ink jet printer. I do know that you have to change the print settings as the card stock is thicker than normal paper. Sorry that. I could not help.

Tip on printing greeting cards. Use Matte finish presentation paper. Make them 1/4 fold design. You'll get awsome quality and they're easier to fold than card stock anyway. It's normally 32 to 35# HP brand seems to be the best value at this time.That said....I don't think I want this printer as I often need to print on heavy paper for other print jobs.

Agree with Wordsmith, your printer must be able to print "full-bleed" - most can't. Check with your printer mfr; also, Avery.com may have a suggestion. I just made a decorative frame/border around my photos and left 1/4" of white card as a mat.

I suggest using a decent quality card stock (available at walmart, kmart, craft stores in both stationery and craft sections) and laminating it - that would be a much better way to make stiff cards - this will disappoint you for that purpose.

Thanks for all the feedback, everyone! Sounds like some people got lucky but that in general this printer is not the one to get if you want to print greeting cards or business cards....the search goes on! :-D

We print envelopes and such through the rear paper tray, try it. Make sure you specify the rear tray as "paper source". The front trays are pretty useless for that purpose.

I use the higher grade of printer paper due to the fact that it prints colors better. Many people also print bi-fold cards but I have found that quarter fold works very well and is cheaper to mail.

I have an AppleMacBook Pro so I had trouble finding a program like American Greeting Createa Card. I had used AGCC with my HP and loved it. The closest I could recommend is Print Shop by Borderbund. Good luck.

I had the same problem with this item my guess would be to go to avery.com and find the double label set up and have that downloaded to your computer so it will print only HALF THE PAGE.

I've had that problem on occasion usually when there are folds in the paper. My solution has been to put a slight crease in the document length wise first. I think it handles paper better than the other scanners I've used but still not perfect

Yes it is a misprint. When you unfold it, it is 50x30. The above dimensions your questioning must be the dimensions when you receive the FOLDED item. Hope this helps. Thank you.
