Format guide
Print once before you reach for the card stock.
Home printers add margins and sometimes scale documents automatically. Use ordinary paper for the first test, select Actual size or 100%, and measure the calibration line before printing the final sheet.
Crop marks
Short corner marks show exactly where to cut without adding a border to the card itself.
Calibration
A one-inch line makes silent printer scaling easy to spot before wasting card stock.
Printing questions
Before the first test sheet.
Should I choose Fit to page when printing recipe cards?
No. Choose Actual size, 100%, or a similarly named setting. Fit to page changes the card dimensions.
Can I use ordinary Letter paper?
Yes for testing and casual use. For durable cards, print on stock supported by your printer and cut along the crop marks.
Why does the print sheet include a one-inch line?
Measure it after printing. If it is not exactly one inch, the printer or PDF viewer scaled the page.
Print it accurately
Card stock, crop marks, and the right printer scale.
Follow the complete workflow before using your final paper, including a one-inch calibration check.
