Invitations

Having such a stressfull time with them. My MOH and I have designed our invitations and have it saved on a PDF file. For some reason when printing them out it has a very thin border and does not print from edge to edge. It appears FH printer does not print from edge to edge of paper and does not handle full bleeding. For those that did their own invitations, did you design yourself and if so did you have difficultites printing? Very frustrating

Invitations

Hi Kimberley,

Haven't done my invites yet, but I used to work in stationery design. Most printers do not print full bleeds. The solution to this is to print on a larger sheet of stock and cut out the design, so the print bleeds over the edge. If you're printing 5x7 for example, make the background bigger than 5x7 and print on 8.5 x 1 and cut it down after. A paper trimmer or slicer works well to cut them, but an exacto knife and straight edge would do the job too.
