I apologize for this, but my previous thread I think maybe was looked at as
being closed so I wasn't getting any responses. Please excuse me for being a
little impatient here, but I would just love to get some good advice here on
how to solve my ongoing problem. So I just started a new thread, but it
really is a continuation of my previous one under basically the same heading.
It looks like I have a problem here. After I applied my 2 by 3.5 business
card graphic to the blank business card template in Publisher by applying it
to the Master page, it looked great online and when I printed it at home it
looked good too, and also in print preview. But I don't have a color
printer and so went to Staples to have them print my business card (file) out
and to cut them.
When they got done, the graphic is not filling the whole card?? There was a
little bit of white space on there after they cut them on some of the bottoms
and on one of the sides. I had them only print ten for me, and they wouldn't
print less. I still got charged $16 though. And they weren't willing to
give me too much advise as to what went wrong. I got the impression that
they didn't like the fact they I didn't have them create one of their
business card designs for me from start to finish. I felt their reluctancy
to print what I had already created myself.
But what I have heard so far is that, I should try to save my graphic that I
created in Photoshop elements as a PDF file rather than a PNG? Also, I
should make the graphic in Photoshop elements and the blank template within
publisher about 1/8" to 1/4" larger all the way around. Will this do the
trick? And if not, any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again,
