All About Printables

How can I play these games VIRTUALLY?

If you're celebrating online via Zoom, etc., you may use this FREE online program to digitally fill out your game like a form. Just upload & type: https://www.pdfescape.com/

Are "printables" editable templates that I can personalize myself?

No, I don't offer editable designs. If a design is specified as personalized or custom, I handle those personalizations on my end & send you print-ready files. If the design is described as an instant download, it's sold as is shown in the images.

How can I get my games printed?

You can print at home, at your local office store, or at our very favorite online printer, Prints of Love (seriously, they're AWESOME). Learn more here.

Can you print my games for me?

In most cases, yes. Just shoot me a message when you're ready, letting me know what product we're talking about & how many copies you'd like. And I'll get you a quote. 

Why is my PDF password protected?

Copying content from the PDF or exporting into another file format is strictly prohibited and password protected for copyright purposes. However, you will not need a password to print the document as a PDF. 

What kind of paper should I print on?

I personally recommend at least 80 lb cover card stock. Paper in this weight range is thick & fairly rigid (not flimsy like boring copy paper), making it ideal for special occasions.

However, many home printers are incapable of properly feeding card stock of this weight. You'll need a printer that feeds the paper at a 90 degree angle. If your printer turns the paper 180 degrees during printing, you'll end up with off centered prints. And that's just annoying! 

If your home printer can't handle heavy card stock, try a lighter weight card stock like 65 lb bristol card stock. This is our second best choice.

I do not recommend using regular copy paper, because you'll most certainly have bleed-through issues with double sided designs.  

What materials should I use for trimming or cutting?

Scissors are totally fine. But a quicker, more precise method is to use a paper trimmer (commonly found in craft stores).

Troubleshooting Printables

The paper's loaded in the tray. Now what?

Everyone's computer / printer setup is different, but here are the highlights:

• Select the "Landscape" page orientation.
• UNCHECK the "Auto Rotate & Center" box.
• Page Scaling should be set to 100%.
• And be sure to select the Paper Type that best matches your chosen media. 

Oh no! Some ink bled through to the back side when I printed my two sided design.

Sadly, this is most likely the result of using a thinner card stock. One way to get around this is to adjust your printer's ink output, if you have that option. Check your printer's manual to see if it offers this capability. If not, you'll want to try printing on a thicker card stock, sending your file to a local or online print shop, or having us print 'em for you.

The PDF is printing off-centered, & it's driving me nuts! What gives?

Ugh, I feel your pain. First, please rest assured that the PDF itself is perfectly centered. Most likely, your printer / card stock is the culprit. If your printer turns the card stock 180 degrees (from the paper tray all the way through to the finished tray), you'll need to use a thinner card stock, like 67lb bristol card stock. Or take the file to a local print shop with printers made to handle heavyweight card stock.
