Quite a simple printing question

Hey,

Basically I have designed a business card sized gift tag in photoshop and I want to print that as many times as it will fit on a piece of paper.

But I'm rubbish and don't know how to do that.

Anyone care to explain how?

Cheers

Winword.

There is even a business-card template if you go to Envelopes and Labels.

Create a new file A4 sized at 200 dpi, then flaten all the layers in the business card and copy and paste into the A4 canvas then keep pasting and aliging them till you have them all over and draw in some marks where you need to crop them.

Thanks guys.

Going to try unknowndomains idea as 64k ISDN take a while to download stuff. PLus Winword keeps bring up virus stuff in google.

Remember to make sure the design is at a decent DPI and set your printer to match, or you'll have pap results. Even for a beeswax card.

OK I have some problems.

Looks like the canvas I used to make the card was set to 300 resolution. So when I create a A4 canvas and paste it over and copy and paste that as many times as I can the file becomes HUGE and I am connected wirelessly to a networked printer so its sending it over slow.

Can anyone explain about resolution in photoshop and how I should set it up when creating a canvas?

This label I have created seems very small when I copy it over to the A4 canvas. I can fit loads of them on. Yet if I change the canvas resolution when I paste the label over the size of the label changes.

lol. All my mum wants is this label on a A4 piece of card as many times as it will go. It would also help if there were cutting lines around the cards.

Actually, I was referring to Microsoft Word.

Send me the card you have (email in trust) and I'll knock up a PDF for you.

thanks for the offer Raist but this is something I have to be able to do myself. I can build a pc but can't put a image on paper multiple times is quite lame. I will give Word a try.

But really thanks for the offer :cool:
