Printing Envelopes

This is the he easiest way (for me)to print envelopes..... I have a shortcut to my printer on my desktop, so I set the paper size to match the envelope: Custom, 6x9 (for Half-fold card envys 6x9).

Then in Draw: Start with 'blank page' (NOT a Wizard and NOT an envelope), choose printer sheet, custom, landscape, display printer boundaries. Your "envelope" will come up on screen, design the envy, place an envelope in the printer tray, flap facing up and to the left, envy up against right side. (I have an HP722, so change orientation for your printer accordingly.)

That's all there is to it... no scaling, no percentage, no rotating, no moving the design around on the page...... Works with any size paper or envelope.....

Just remember to set the paper size in the printer driver BEFORE choosing the "custom" setting in Draw... If you want, save a blank as a template and make notes to yourself about the printer setting. For quarter-fold cards I use metric, and set the size to 110 x 145.....(4.5x5.75). Perfect envelopes every time.
