PRINTING
In Photoshop, go to File > Print
The Photoshop print dialog / preview appears.
Notice how the preview looks wrong. This is because we have yet to define the paper size being used.
1 - Select your printer in the Printer drop down menu
2 - Click Print Settings to launch the Printer Preferences dialog.
Note: Your Canon printer preferences / properties menu may look different than our examples. The tab layout and controls though are the same for all desktop models.
1 - Click on the Page Setup tab
2 - Click Normal-size in the Page Layout section
3 - Click on the Page Size drop-down menu
Now scroll to the bottom where you will choose "
Defining the Custom Paper Size
The Custom Paper Size dialog will appear.
Use the table below as your guide for defining custom note card sizes.
The width is always the smaller dimension of the paper.
The height is always the longer dimension of the paper.
Regardless of card orientation.
| Card Size | Width | Height |
| 7x10 | 7 | 10 |
| 6.25x9 | 6.25 | 9 |
| 5.5x8.5 | 5.5 | 8.5 |
| 8x9 Pano | 8 | 9 |
| 5.25x5.25 (Square) | 5.25 | 10.5 |
When you are complete, click the OK button to return to the printer properties.
Click on the Main tab
Verify your printer settings - media type, color management, print quality, paper feed, paper, size, and click OK to return to the Photoshop Print Preview.
1 - Click the Landscape orientation button
2 - Note how the preview changes and looks like a printed, unfolded card.
You can now click Print.
You may see this warning - if so click Proceed.
Congratulations! You have set up and printed a Red River Paper greeting card.
