Getting
ready to print
Go to File » Print - you will see the Print Preview screen.
Notice how the preview does not look right. We have to go to
the printer properties and set a custom paper size to complete
our setup.
Click the Page Setup button at the bottom.
The Page Setup dialog box will
appear.
Click the Printer button at bottom right.
When
this dialog box appears, make sure you have the right printer chosen
and then click the Properties button near the top right.
Make sure you are in ADVANCED MODE - look at the bottom right of the menu and click the Advanced button if not.
Find the drop down menu that has paper sizes.
Look near the bottom of the list for a selection called User Defined.
Click on it.
Note: Some drivers may look different but the elements you need will be there in some form.
This dialog will appear.
Check the image at right for the order you
will follow to make a custom paper size:
Using the chart below:
1) Fill in paper width
2) Fill in paper height

paper size that will appear in your list of paper sizes.
Click the OK
button until you are back to this screen.
Notice that the custom paper size we just
made is now selected as the paper size by Photoshop.
Note: For the vertical open card
of any size, make sure orientation is set to PORTRAIT. If not, you
will notice that the Print with Preview will look wrong. If so, click
Page Setup again and fix the orientation.
Now click OK
We are back at Print with
Preview again.
Notice that the preview screen looks like
the printed card should - the excessive white space is gone.
Note: Before you start printing on our pre-scored
cards, try a test print on plain paper. Just cut some copy paper
to the correct size for test sheets.
Click the PRINT button to begin printing

WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT US
Quality that I can count on.
I have used paper from Red River for at least eight years and have always been pleased and inpressed with the quality of the paper and the service. The one time when I ordered the wrong item a short phone call to custmer service the correct item was on its way and I sent the wrong item back all with no hassle.
Papers with the Archival designtation can take many forms. They can be glossy, matte, canvas, or an artistic product. These papers are acid free, lignin free and can be made of virgin tree fiber (alpha cellulose) or 25-100% cotton rag. They are likely to have optical or fluorescent brightening agents (OBAs) - chemicals that make the paper appear brighter white. Presence of OBAs does not indicate your image will fade faster. It does predict a slow change in the white point of your paper, especially if it is displayed without UV filter glass or acrylic.
Archival Grade Summary

Acid and lignin free base stock
Inkjet coating layer acid free

Museum Grade Paper

Photographic Grade Paper
Photo Grade products are designed to look and feel like modern photo lab paper. Most photo grade media are resin coated, which means they have a paper core covered by a thin layer of polyethelene (plastic) . Plastic gives the paper its photo feel, stability (flatness), water resistance, handling resistance, and excellent feed consistency.
Prints on photo grade media are stable over long periods. With pigment inks in a protected environment, you can see up to 80 years on-display life. All RC papers are Photo Grade for two reasons. Plastic content is not technically archival by museum standards. Also, the inkjet coating of all RC papers is slightly acidic. It facilitates instant drying and does not actually change the stability of your inks over time. Virtually all RC papers have optical brightening agents (OBAs).
