Printing tips

Get the sheet on paper cleanly

Double-sided

Pages alternate front, back, front, back. Print all pages with your printer set to “flip on long edge” and the backs land behind their fronts. Cut lines are printed on both sides so you can check the alignment before cutting.

No duplex printer?

Turn on single-sided fold mode: the front goes on the left of the sheet, the back on the right, mirrored across a printed fold line. Fold the sheet in half and every front sits exactly on its back — cut through both layers.

Card stock

Spacing matches perforated business-card sheets (0–11 mm), so 10-per-page fits a 2 × 3.5" sheet. For plain paper, raise the spacing and cut along the dashed guides.
