What am I doing wrong??

Hi everyone,
I downloaded some new sheets, and tried printing them, but they came out way too big, I use A4, and I make sure I click, '' to fit page'' but it just keeps happening.
The card sizes I use most are 15 3/4 cm, by 11.5 cm.
I hope someone can help, because it's driving me potty wasting ink and photo paper!
Thank you!

If you are not using A4 folded in half for your cards the designs wont fit if you print to A4If you go into your printer set up & change the page size to the same as what you use for making your cards (remembering that it would be the unfolded size of the card) then do "print to fit" this should solve your problem.
Hope this helps

I just print two to the page and voila I can then either do two quick cards or use the second for decoupage.

Happy crafting

I have tried that but it only prints out on the one side of A4 which is A5 size. Means wastage!! Maybe its my printer. Would be grateful if you could let me know how you did it.

Thanks

Hi Rachael - my printer only prints one copy at a time if I make it A5 from an A4 size - what I do is put the paper back in [remembering to put the paper upside down and the plain bit first - that's what my printer does] then print again - you will then have two copies on one page. No wastage - 2 quick cards or 2nd copy for decoupage.

Hope that works for you
