Printing Guide

FILE VERSIONS

All of our printable planners come with three file versions: Spread, True Size and True Size (No Marks).

  • Spread files features a two or four-per-page layout with crop marks for printing onto A4 or Letter paper and trimming.
  • True Size files features a one-per-page layout with crop marks for printing onto a larger paper such as A4 or Letter and trimming.
  • True Size (No Marks) files features a one-per-page layout without crop marks for printing directly onto pre-cut paper.

GENERAL PRINTING TIPS

  • Download and use the free Adobe Acrobat Reader to open your files.
  • Print from a computer or laptop rather than mobile phone or tablet.
  • Download one of our freebies as a tester.
  • Some printers may not be able to print certain pre-cut paper sizes because the sizes may be too small.
  • Some printers have fixed page margins, which can cause the design to be cut off when printing as 'actual size'. If this is the case, then select print as 'fit to page'.

step-by-step

PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS

How to print: One-per-page on pre-cut paper

Open the file version 'True Size (No Marks)' and open print settings.

Page sizing and handling

Select 'actual size' or set 'custom scale' to 100%.

Select 'auto portrait/landscape'.

Page setup

In page setup and under paper size, select the pre-cut paper size (e.g. 'A5').

If a borderless option is available, select that option instead (e.g. 'A5 borderless').

If the paper size is unavailable, create a custom page size with the dimensions of the pre-cut paper. You can refer to our size guide to get the dimensions.

For page margins or non-printable area, set to zero for all sides to create a borderless page.

Double-sided printing

For printers with duplex printing feature, tick the box 'print on both sides of paper'. Select 'flip on long edge'.

For printers without duplex printing feature, print odd pages first, then flip on the long edge and reinsert the paper onto the printing tray and print even pages.
