Print calibration

  1. Print the test sheet on US Letter paper using landscape, actual size or 100%, and no fit-to-page scaling.
  2. Measure whether the printed frame and center axes are shifted on the physical sheet.
  3. Enter the opposite correction below, then print the test sheet again.
Correction direction Print shifted right → use negative X. Left → positive X. Print shifted down → use negative Y. Up → positive Y.

These corrections shift the entire printed sheet. Safe margin remains a separate content inset in the Print dialog.

Quick print checklist
  1. Use standard US Letter paper.
  2. For manual two-sided printing, print the outside first.
  3. Flip and reinsert the same sheet as required by your printer.
  4. Print the inside and check the result on plain paper.
  5. If the inside prints or saves upside down, turn on rotate inside print/PDF in Print.

In the browser print dialog, choose landscape and 100% or actual size. Turn off browser headers and footers. Use none or minimum margins if available, and avoid fit-to-page scaling.

Front cover image size

The physical front panel is 5.5 in wide by 8.5 in tall.

  • 150 DPI: 825 x 1275 px
  • 200 DPI: 1100 x 1700 px
  • 300 DPI: 1650 x 2550 px

Use 1650 x 2550 px for a sharp cover image. Fill panel crops as needed to cover the area inside the Safe margin; Show whole image avoids cropping. Set Safe margin to 0 only when edge printing is intentional and your printer supports it.

Margins and alignment

Many printers cannot print to the physical paper edge. Safe margin moves card content inward and sets the on-screen guide; Show guides does not add lines to the printed card. If the entire printed sheet is shifted, open Print, choose Calibrate alignment, and follow the reusable test-sheet steps.

Create a custom icon with AI

If the built-in list does not include what you need, copy this prompt into your preferred AI image generator. Replace [SUBJECT] and [COLOR] before submitting it.

Download the generated file, review it, then open the Back panel and choose Upload image. SVG usually stays sharp at any size; a transparent PNG also works well.
