Paper sizes and printer settings
Six settings decide whether the fold lands where it should. The quarter-fold fits an A2 envelope and the 5 x 7 fits an A7 envelope, both found at any office supply store.
| Setting | Choose | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Scale | 100% or "Actual size" | Fit to page shrinks the card and moves the fold marks off their lines. |
| Paper size | US Letter (8.5 x 11 in) | Both formats are laid out on Letter. On A4, choose "Fit to page" and expect a card about 3% smaller. |
| Paper | Plain, or card stock about 65 to 80 lb (175 to 215 gsm) | Plain paper folds fine. Card stock feels like a store card; check your printer takes it from the rear tray. |
| Quality | Normal on plain paper, Best on card stock | Card stock soaks up ink; the higher setting dries cleaner. If the printer offers a paper-type menu, pick card stock. |
| Color | Color | The accents are outlines and small blocks, so a card uses little ink. |
| 5 x 7 only: two-sided | On, flip on the short edge | The inside has to line up behind the front. Print on plain paper first to learn which way your printer feeds. |
How to print and fold it
Plain printer paper works. Card stock in the 65 to 80 lb range feels like a store card and still feeds through most home printers.
Quarter-fold, 4.25 x 5.5 in
- Print the PDF on one side of a US Letter sheet at 100% scale ("Actual size", not "Fit to page").
- Fold the sheet in half from top to bottom, printed side out. The small marks at the edges show where.
- Fold it in half again so the front design faces out and the fold is on its left. Write inside, sign it, done.
Half-fold, 5 x 7 in
- Print both pages on one sheet, two-sided, at 100% scale, flipping on the short edge. No two-sided printing? Print page 1, then feed the same sheet back in for page 2. Try it on plain paper first to learn which way your printer feeds.
- Cut on the corner marks with scissors or a paper trimmer. You end up with a 10 x 7 inch piece.
- Fold it in half on the center marks. That is a 5 x 7 card for a standard A7 envelope.
