Hi
I just realised I sent my post to the wrong place.oops sorry.
Anyway I am making my own business cards ( 10 per sheet) and the artwork is
slipping down as it prints, what can I do to correct this?
I did know once but forgot.
thanks

Hi
I have done as suggested checked my margins, what I notice is it excepts the
margins for the side & top but doesnt do the bottom of the page.
What is annoying is I have done this plenty of times before but I have
increased the font size & gone outside the pink lines that are a guide.

Once you input .5 into the top margin, the bottom margin will be .5 as well. Create a
rectangle around the entire blank business card and print this out on regular paper.
This will give you an idea what margin adjustment is off. It is a printer problem. If
you need to adjust the margins, you will have to create the business cards manually,
i.e. an entire page.
On the arrange menu, input .75 sides, .5 bottom and top, 2 columns, 5 rows. Repeat as
above, draw a rectangle around each card space, print and adjust the margins to match
your business card stock.

Hi
Thanks for your advice, I will do as you suggest but how do I go about
correcting my printer?
thanks

Only you can ascertain how much off your printer margins are and what adjustment
needs to be made. The only way I know is to cover your card stock with the test page
and hold it up to the light. Or waste a sheet of card stock and print and then adjust
the margins.
Your printer is not picking up the stock correctly. Do you have an lever on your
printer for thicker stock?

Not that I can see, I will have to just keep fiddling around with it until
the problem hits me.
thanks for all your help
