motherhues Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 and EVERY time I flip the paper it seems to do the back off center.I use the free Avery DesignPro5 and I am just making a 1.5 inch square to make a simple cardstock hangtag for soaps in bags. you would think it would be easyI am not sure if it's ME or my PRINTER or WHAT but I am SOO lost. I have tried every possible way of just flipping my stupid paper over and I am about ready to tear my hair out.is there some special button or selection you need to make to print on the reverse to make it work? you would THINK you could just flip the paper and it would do the exact size in the exact same place, right? WHAT AM I DOING WRONG??!AAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!sigh...sorry.. just had to get that out before I throw the printer out the window and kill my husband for asking me to calm down.... grr...Selenawww.motherhues.etsy.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbren Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Are you using one of the Avery templates or have you customized? If it's a template, it should print the same on both sides. I do it all the time with the business card template. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motherhues Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 well, yes, that is the theory...but it isn't working that way...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....its either me or my printer I am hoping it's me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbren Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 hmmmm...ok, sometimes if I get confused when printing different things on each side, befOre I print the first side, I put a little arrow in pencil at the top of the sheet. This way I am CERTAIN I'm inserting it correctly.Try this on plain paper. Print your first side then print the second side on a separate sheet, then put them together and hold up to the light...does it look right then? If so, then you are probably putting the sheet in wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbren Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I'm glad I'm not the only one that goes thru all the extra steps. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
