Selecting Printable Designs
We've just pressed the Printable Designs button. On the
right you see a pull down list at the top (1) with design
categories. We have clicked on the Wedding Designs and thus
the (2) Select one of list will fill with the 38 printable designs
in that category.
Here you can pull down list (2) and preview each design. Better,
you can press the PRINT Thumbnails button and a catalog of
the Wedding design category will print for you. It prints 16
thumbnails per page until the catalog of that design is printed.
If you find a particular design you like, you can press the PRINT
Sample button and one sheet of paper will be printed with a
50% scaled version of the Invitation size graphic and the
Accessory size graphic.
If you had pressed the Vendor Designs button instead,
the top list would have a list of paper vendors and the middle
list would have that vendor's product line. However, that screen
would not have either the Print Thumbnails or Print Sample buttons
since we do not print those designs.
After you have selected your paper stock, you then press the
Select Each Paper button so that you can asssign the different
papers to each of your ensemble buttons.
Select Each Paper - No matter your choice of Vendor,
Printable, or Custom, once selected you must assign the paper
layouts to each of your ensemble papers. What does this mean?
Simple, most wedding kits or paper ensembles include an
invitation size, a respond size, a thank you size, or in some
cases, tent cards for use a place cards. Our software DOES NOT
KNOW HOW YOU WISH TO USE THESE. But we do know what the papers
look like. When you press the Select Each Paper button, we
display a set of your ensemble paper buttons (just like on the
main screen, Invitations, Annoucements, etc.). Then we display
each of the paper layouts appropriate to the paper you intend to
use. You simply press a button and then click on a paper picture
TO ASSIGN THAT PAPER LAYOUT TO THAT ENSEMBLE BUTTON. Thus you are
telling the software which paper you want to print on.
For example, let's say you have puchased a Paper Direct computer
paper kit which might include sheets of 2 non-folding invitations,
sheets of 1 folding invitation, sheets of folding small accessory
cards, and sheets of non-folding accesssory cards. You might want
to use the 2-up non-folding for your Announcements and use the
1-up folding for your Invitations. This is where you make those
assignments.
What if you went to a store and found a paper design you love
but it is not listed in our Vendor Designs. It may be a great
paper but that paper vendor never contacted us to have their
papers including in the world's leading software. In this case you
would press the . . . |
