willtoni Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 Hello, I have been trying to print a picture horizontally and at the bottom of a 5"x7" card. The paper is actually a 10"x7", with a horizontal fold in the middle. My printer is a Canon Pixma Pro-100 and I'm using AP in Windows 10. I tried doing this, and I still can't get a picture being printed at the bottom of the paper. First, I created a 7" wide x 5" talk canvas and placed a picture there (size adjusted after placement to take up the entire canvas). Many attempts have resulted in having the picture printed in the center of the paper, not at the bottom. Thoughts? Quote

Instead of completely filling a 7″ × 5″ canvas, why not simply place the picture on the bottom half of a 7″ × 10″ canvas?

Yes, that's what I do in these circumstances. John Quote Windows 11, Affinity Photo 2.4.2 Designer 2.4.2 and Publisher 2.4.2 (mainly Photo). CPU: Intel Core i5 8500 @ 3.00GHz.

I would do that too, & maybe even add a thin fold line, like in this 7x10 for fold.afdesign file.

SrPx Posted October 27, 2018 Posted October 27, 2018 Is your printer having "center" option enabled? Anyway, yeah, I'd do the ful canvas thing they mention above. Even more, I tend to make grids of cards in sheets (usually poker size in A4 sheets, as many POD online printers require it so). In this case maybe put the two cards or two sides in same sheet. I would care for safe zone, bleeding and specific stuff for a particular POD company, but I guess not needed in home printers (been a while since I used one, lol...one of the issues tended to be to do "border-less" prints...)

willtoni Posted October 28, 2018 Author Posted October 28, 2018 Printing a full canvas did the trick, thanks! (Yes, simple solutions are better). My printer does not have a centering option, and all works great now. Thanks for the suggestions! SrPx 1 Quote
