Card Stock
TIP:
I learned how to do all of this by
reading the LOGic Help Files.
So can you!!
TIP:
Try printing on regular paper to
ascertain needed adjustments to suit your printer.
TIP:
Fine tune alignment
by holding
printed paper and unprinted card stock up to a light.
TIP:
There is a lot of information on this
page - be sure to scroll down!
Sheet Sizes
All sheet sizes measure 8.5 inches x 11 inches - called "Letter Size" or
"A-Size". (Do not confuse with European "A1-size")
Sheet
Material
There are numerous sources for pre-perforated card stock. The more common
stock perforates a full sheet into 4 equal size cards. Others perforate
sheets into thirds, with each card measuring 8.5 inches wide.
Printing
Order
You can use any of these reports and if needed, readjust print
direction/order within LOGic5 to suit your printer.
The information on how to do this is included within LOGic.
Black and White (B&W) printing is done using an HP Laser Jet 4 Printer.
The "leading edge" is to the RIGHT on horizontal layouts and to the
TOP on vertical layouts.
The stock is fed using the front tilt-down shelf for a straight-through paper
path. Heavy card stock needs a straight paper path. Using the bottom
tray forces the paper to take a curved paper path; if you must print this way
expect paper jams with heavy weight stock.
Color printing is done using either a Canon or Epson color printer.
The "leading edge" is to the LEFT on horizontal layouts and to the
BOTTOM on vertical layouts..
Both printers have a verticle tray behind the printer, so the bottom edge of the
sheet is the leading edge.
