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.
