FAQ
Most printers can print on stock card paper if you adjust the settings. After designing your card, print a test page first. Then change your settings to print on the quality of paper you’re using and hit “print.” To print on both sides, set your printer to two-page printing.
What you include in a card will depend on the occasion. If you’re sending a card to a relative or friend, you might add personal photos or use more adventurous color schemes. If you’re marketing a service or event, keep it professional with your logo and contact information.
You can choose any photo in your collection to become a card. Once you upload your photo, you can add text and other elements before printing a high resolution copy to send off in the mail to your family and friends.
