Kind of expensive, though.

Instead, I would suggest what the scrappers do - print the text on a full
size sheet of printer paper, first. Then using some sort of re-positionable
or temporary fixative (of which there are a zillion options available) affix
the card in position exactly over the printed text on the paper. Then send
the whole page, including the card, through with the exact same settings.

However - doesn't she have any sort of Print layout or templates in the
application she is using, for standard card sizes?

Sally, thanks for the lead to rubondecals.com. I'd guess that's what's
she's seeking.

I think she's making the cards from scratch, paper included, and by hand.
I guess she gave up on her calligraphy, though.

Those rubon decals are expensive!! I make cards from scratch.
I print text (or images) on a sheet of paper and hold the card over
the paper at a window or my light box to judge where the text (or
image) will appear when printed. With adjustments, works just fine
that way.

Barb,

She's up there and I'm down here, so I can't say why she needs to do it
that way, and it's hard to suggest an alternative without seeing just what
she is doing. She also is leaving in the morning for her daughter's
graduation (Master's) in Michigan, so I'll have to wait until she returns
before I can figure things out.

Thanks,

Hi Cliff, I also make all my own cards by making my own template sizes in
PSP or other programs and after designing I print directly onto the paper.
I cannot see why this wouldn't work with most handmade papers as well these
days...Pat

My guess it's one of three things:

a. the paper is too thick for the printer

b. she wants the text in her own handwriting

c. she doesn't have and/or doesn't know how to use the software

She asked the question, then after I told her I'd post in this forum
because I didn't know the answer, she said thanks, and oh, by the way,
we're leaving for Michigan in the morning. I'll have to wait until she gets
back before I can clarify things.

Thanks,

Sally, I just talked with my sister, and the reason she doesn't use a
pronter is that the paper won't go through it. Like she made a cookbook and
the covers were too thick for the pronter to handle, so she had to cut out
print and paste it on. While the rubon-paper might be expensive, she won't
be using that much, so she can afford to use it occasionally.

I'll forward the URL to her now that she has returned from the trip to
Michigan to watch her daughter graduate from grad school (Masters in
wildlife conservation, or something along those lines...her specialty is
trying to reduce deer-auto collisions).

Cliff, if your niece does find a way to prevent the deer-auto collisions,
she'll be a millionaire. Down here in Georgia, it is a nearly year round
hazard. We have a big over-population it seems. I wish her the best, and as
one who has had a run in with a deer, I can say it is very much needed.

Wendy, I had a collision with a deer in December, here in Northern
Virginia. I was driving slowly because I was on an unfamiliar road and it
was pitch-black. I saw the first one, and applied my brakes, but the second
one basically ran into me. Fortunately for me, it was just a glancing blow
and neither myself nor my car suffered; however, I don't know how the deer
fared because it disappeared into the woods.

Apparently someone has noticed that deer will use culverts that pass
underneath the road (if they are large enough and available) in lieu of
crossing the road surface. Perhaps there is hope.

Of course there's moose, which weigh about ten times as much as a deer.

I doubt my niece would get rich if she came up with the solution as she is
working under a fellowship.
