| 6.25x9 | 6.25 | 9 |

4) Verify your other printer settings - media type, print quality, color management, and click OK to return to Photoshop.
STEP 5 - PRINTING
In the PHOTOSHOP PRINT DIALOG -
Set orientation to PORTRAIT.
If your preview looks wrong, look at this control first before investigating other causes.
Once the orientation is set correctly, your preview will look like a printed and unfolded card. See below.
The hash marks around the border represent your printer's margins.
When ready, you can click Print.
If the below warning pops up, click Proceed. It will not affect the print output.
Congratulations! You have set up and printed a Red River Paper greeting card.
