Now that you have a completed greeting card layout in Photoshop,
its time to print.
First you must define and save a custom paper size. Red River's greeting
card papers are NOT standard sizes, so you will not find them in the list
of paper sizes set by your printer manufacturer.
Go to the File menu and select Print
 |
Notice the excessive white space around the layout. This is because we have
not defined a custom paper size.
Make sure the Center Image checkbox is checked in the Position area
near the top of the dialog box.
Check to see that Scale is set to 100% and do not check the Scale
to Fit Media box.
Click Page Setup |
Choose your current printer in the Format for dialog.
In the Paper Size drop down menu choose Manage Custom Sizes |
 |
Define a Custom Page Size
Click the + button to begin
Fill in the Paper Size using the chart below
Name the new size
Set margins to a MINIMUM of 0.15" on all sides
Verify the information and click OK
You now have a permanently saved custom
paper size that will appear in your list of paper sizes.

Back at the Print dialog notice how the preview image now looks
correct with no excessive white space or cropping around the image
layout.
From here you set any color management preferences then click Print.

process.

In the Print dialog set media type, set any color management preferences, and set how many
cards you wish to print.
Congratulations! You have set up and printed a Red River Paper greeting
cards.
