Word 2003 Document Print Output
Hi All
Am currently at my wits end and i wondered if anyone could help. I have a 1 page document that i want to print out as a 8cm long by 5.5cm wide format, printed in a portrait setup and about the size of a playing card. Altering the page setup cascades the document over several pages or when i get close to a size, the print is tiny and unreadable. Where am i going wrong? Any help would be wonderful. Thank you for your time Adam |

Thank you for your time Hum... If, as you write: "when i get close to a size, the print is tiny and unreadable", this simply means you have too much text for the size you want to print... No? You then need to print many 8cm X 5.5cm cards. Or am I missing something from your explanation? |

Hi Jean-Guy
I don't think i described my problem properly, sorry about that. I am trying to print out a document so that the print out could be stuck onto a 5cm x 8cm playing card. I tried creating a page that was these dimensions but even on font size 8 i am not having any luck. Imagine like a top trumps card or Magic The Gathering (tm) game card. Is this beyond the scope of my printer? (Epson stylus C20UX) Thanks again Adam "Jean-Guy Marcil" wrote: "adman96" wrote: Hi All Am currently at my wits end and i wondered if anyone could help.

If you have to print at such a small font size that it is not readable, then you have too much content in the area you want to print. But, if you need size 8 (meaning that font size is sufficient for the content you have), but it is unreadable becasue it is smudgy or fuzzy, then yes, this is a printer problem. You may want to clean the printing head or "borrow" a friend's laser printer or higher quality ink jet one. I have printed 8 points on an ink jet before with satisfactory results, but you need an ink jet that can do high resolutin for better results. Make sure you set the printer to its highest quality output (not draft quality). |
