Printing MDS Cards at Home

I have completed the instructions for printing all the various sizes and orientations of MDS cards. These instructions are for using my digital studio to print- you do NOT need to export a jpeg or use a different program to manipulate your images. This will work with any standard inkjet or color laser printer, nothing special is required.

A 3 or 4 page (including a back cover- which the MDS professional printer can't do) card can be printed by running the same one piece of cardstock through your printer twice.

One 8 1/2 x 11 page of cardstock will give you:
one square (5 1/4 x 5 1/4) or 5 x 7 (portrait or landscape) card
OR
two 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 (portrait or landscape) cards

One 12 x 8 1/2 page (12 x 12 cut down) will give you one square 6 x 6 card



The instructions include full color screenshots of MDS, showing you exactly the steps, including page order specifications, custom margin settings to ensure the cards are aligned properly when printed back to front, and various other tricks I figured out along the way!

I have posted the instruction set for the 5 x 7 Portrait Card for free on scribd (this is the simplest version) for you to review. The other instruction sets (Five documents of 3-5 pages each) are formatted in the same manner and I've also created a summary reference chart with all critical information in one page. The whole set is available for $10. Click --> Add to Cart


Comment from Cindy: Thanks again!!!!!!! Well worth the $10 for the instructions!
