Add subtitles/CC
hello there I'm artist Aaron retin this is a follow up video to my tutorial on
how to create business cards with Photoshop
in this video I'm gonna show you how to print your business cards at home Printing Business Cards At Home (Photoshop Tutorial) !!! so I have a very simple card design here that I created in Photoshop
and to print these at home what we want to do is we want to take this card and
we want to place it on a standard size sheet of paper
so I'm going to go to File New wanna make my with

inches but my high eleven-inches'
and the resolution will be
online photo card printing to this is our standard sheet of paper
here in America your sheet of paper might be different if you live in
another country
if your enemies online you would normally leave an eighth of an inch
bleed along the edges for the incomplete over
but interpreting at home let's create a border so we know where to cut
in this case what I'm going to use I'm going to create a new layer
on a call at border on a select white and is Phyllis with white using shift f
to fill
I'm gonna change the blend mode team or the client only quite disappear
that I'm going to at an affect down in the Layers palette
4-stroke gonna put that through on the inside
and i wanna make it pretty small it's just say one pixel
monster in the opacity down a little bit she'll just barely be able to see this
line and that will help you when you're cutting these cards
so let's go and bring this card over to our sheet of paper it looks right click
on the group
but she's duplicate group love it
untitled-1 that's that new document if we go over there will see that it's now
been placed
so the goal here is to fit as many cards as we can on this one sheet of paper
to have this one card if I hold alt and I drag
I can drag a clone I hold alt and shift together
that will keep it from moving up or down so I wanna do as I just wanna slap one
card to the edge of the other card
on a select both the scarred by holding SHIFT an a-hole open shift again and
drag
gonna be that multiple times just to create as many cards as I can
to look like I can get about
cards on this page of paper
now we don't want them to be right on the edge because there's going to be a
little bit have a margin more
printer won't put me Inc around the edges the paper someone dislike all
those cards together
going to group them into a single group and I'm just going to go ahead and
center that on the page
that way there's a little bit margin around the edges now
it's a lot easier just to go ahead and order cards online because the real
hassle
isn't really in printing the cards it's in cutting the cards
at the very least you'll have to use some scissors and I guarantee you
your cards are not going to come out straight even if you have really steady
hands on your really good with scissors
you can use a paper cutter which has a straight edge in will make things a lot
easier
but again you might miss a little bit if this area and you might have a little
bit a border showing your one card might be bigger than the other
he can get specialty prefered paper for business cards
but it may require that you follow a particular tutorial
to get a line up on the page and then when you tear the cards of
they have a little bit of a jagged edges he would imagine perforated paper would
to recommend to avoid putting these on your own because in my experience that's
difficult
you can order cards from Vistaprint or Zazzle where you can go to a local
printer like
FedEx Kinko's na make things a lot easier but
if you want to print at home that's fine I'll go ahead and continue showing you
how to do that
so next time going to go to File and
print now let's take a look at some of our print settings you wanna make sure
that the printer you're using is selected
mine is you can choose a number of copies and this can be one copy
want to lay out to be upright as it is here in portrait mode
months click on print settings you want to select the paper type
I'm using HP bright white paper but you may be using something like
a thicker specialty paper free any printing on cardstock
I recommend that you print on cardstock because a regular piece a paper will be
too floppy and
and too fragile you can choose the quality settings
for using a pretty simple design you might want to use a drafter better
if you're using a more photorealistic designer something with a lot of colors
you know what she's best
and then of course if you're pretty in black and white shoes black and white
if not then choose color it's just going to be a print for demonstration purposes
and I don't wanna waste my inks on this gonna print in black and white
as a draft click on OK
and then we'll go ahead and click Print now it's going to say that the image is
larger than papers printable area
some clipping will occur don't worry about that because we've left this nice
margin along the edges
so we can just click on proceed
alright so there you have it that's how you can print your business cards at
home
