I am trying to print business cards

I just bought a HP Photosmart C4480 all-in-One. I tried to print business cards using the type of stock perforated (equivalent to Avery L7414).

I can't match the top margin so that printing starts within the perforated area. If I use plain paper that it lines up properly. When I use the cardstock I get different higher margins even if I do not change the setting. It's like as if the map is slippery in the printer after it gets taken up by the rollers and prior to printing. Advice please on what to try a solution?

Always looks like a mechanical problem, however changing software shouldn't solve the problem if this was true. In any case, I'm glad that you were able to find something that works. My last word of the Advisor; stick with what works.

    I am trying to print business cards using Avery 2 faces of business cards printable 5876.

    When I print a test out of my biz on plain paper # 20 cards and adjust the settings so, everything goes well and a walk test using the regular stock # 20 everything comes out great!  But when I put in the stock cards Avery and hit go, the printer goes much more slowly while the scenario and images very dark with excess of toner on the card only stock.  But not on the paper stock. Why is this?

    Should I should change the settings for the automatic printer paper what setting for business cards?  If so, in what context? -Special papers, greeting cards, paper brochure or what?  PLEASE NOTIFY.

    Hmm...  I just did a search on the card stock you use, it is designed for laser printing, do not ink jet.  That being the case, I suggest to try the thick paper or plain paper for the paper type.  The product of 8877 Avery may be a better choice for your inkjet printer.

  • LaserJer Pro 200 M351nw: residues of toner to print business cards

    When I print on bond paper, I get a decent, crisp image. But when I print on card stock thre is a powdery residue on the paper. I can drag it with a handkerchief and get a significant amount of powder on the tissue.

    I remember reference to paper stock that is sutiable for color lasers, but I can't find it all in stock business cards anywhere I looked. It is apparently a special paper.

    I went through the type of paper in the printer properties. The only problem is when I print business cards. Is currently trying Avery 5876 and 8876 and Office Depot 3700-R. The 5867 and 3700-R are labeled for use in color lasers. The 8876 is inkjet. Same negative results with all.

    All proposals/solutions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi @1071 ,

    I see by your post only when printing on cards, you get powdery residue on the paper.
    I want to help you solve this problem.

    You have the Laserjet LaserJet Pro 200 M251nw?  How can I find my model number or product number?

    Usually, when there are residues, burrs, tasks of toner left on the pages is caused by the paper used or the type of paper selected in the printer driver. You already tried different types of paper and had the same results.

    The Avery 5876 you tried are Laser printers.

    It is recommended to use bright white paper or paper that is designed for use in Laser printers.
    Don't use paper that is designed only for use with ink jet printers.
    Progress of paper is porous and for printers inkjet that absorbs ink in the paper.
    Paper Premium isn't for Laserjet printers. Chemicals and the ink soaks into the paper and takes more time to dry.
    Use paper that is not too rough. Generally using smooth paper translates into a better print quality.

    I have provided the specifications of paper for this model.

    Specifications for HP LaserJet Pro 200 M251n and M251nw color printer.

    Up to 200 g/m2 (110 lb. index) cards

  • Unable to print business cards P1102w of Word 2007 / Windows 7

    New computer under Windows 7 and Office 2007, free Wi - Fi to P1102w.

    I had trouble printing envelopes, but set the print properties > source = Auto Select and can now print envelopes ok.

    I tried the same thing when I try to print business cards, print properties > original, is set to auto-select.  The blue led is on, the yellow LED flashes, the Green led is off.

    With my old computer and computer of my wife, we get up a pop box that is labeled Message of State P1102w HP LaserJet professional, subtitled manually flow media, who wants that confirm us that the correct media is loaded in the input tray and requires clicking the button CONTINUE.  I don't get this message on my new computer.

    My wife's computer is running the same operating system and software than mine, we have compared settings and can't find anything that is defined differently.

    Any help would be appreciated, because she is tired of me having to send the files to print them. )

    I FIXED IT!

  • When I print business cards, they print sometimes 1/4 too high, but not always.

    I have my business cards in a Word document by using a template Avery. I used the same file for years. I never had a problem with my Canon printer, but after buying an HP Photosmart D110, I got nothing else problems. When I print, then they print approximately 1/4 in. too high ruin cardstock and waste. This happens not all the time. Sometimes I print and they are perfect but when I come back and print another, the problem returns. It is the same strain of the map that I have used for years and when it is inserted in the printer it doesn't matter if it's a single page or a stack of them. I tried the page preview before printing and the alignment is correct. I tried to print to PDF and then print the PDF, same problem. I try on the barrel and no problem. Only reason why I bought it was in the first place the cartridges were cheaper and I do a lot of color printing and scanning.  I just replaced the cartridges and did a head alignment is not the problem. I tried it with plain paper and the problem persists. I'm ready to give up anything to join your room and buy another Canon!

    AuntieEm, thank you very much! It worked flawlessly! Hugs xoxoxo

  • print walks onto the page when printing business cards

    When I print multiple sheets of business cards printing the page begins to wander to the top of the sheet.  If I only print one page at a time, this isn't a problem.  How can I fix?   I have an Officejet Pro e8100 printer works wirelessly on a Win 7 64 bit OS Home premium.

    RickT2,

    Welcome to the HP Forum.

    If the first page prints OK and then subsequent pages tend to stick or the text wanders a bit, then perhaps adjust the media type would help.

    Assumption

    Setting the media type tells the rolls expected in what kind of paper - this could help pull the paper but at the right speed and tension to allow the text to apply to the location appropriate during each pass.

    Paper size and media Type are selected in the printing preferences:

    Control Panel > display icon > devices and printers > right click on your printer >

    Printing preferences > tab paper / quality >

    Select the paper Source > have desired / needed by printer model

    Select the paper size > have desired / necessary for the print job

    Select Support > have desired / necessary for the print job - for example: paper matte brochure for labels

    Ok

  • I can't print business cards

    I bought a HP Officejet Pro 8500 a and Print artist version 23. I use the software and design business cards, take the A4 (which is a product of Avery 8571) and then print. The end result is the printer prints about 1/4 inch on the brands of preferated to the left. The alignment is off and I ruined sheets of cards preferated. I use regular paper now just to see if I can solve the problem but after exhausting all possibilities including choosing A5 and the creation of business cards 2x3.50 on the software, the printer still refuses anything else print that off to the left.

    Any suggestions?

    I thought of her after hours of changing the settings in the Print artist program. The setting must be on the cards own Cup istead a4 as Avery said.

  • Can I print my own business cards using HP phtosmart?

    I have a HPC4500. Y at - it software to print business cards customized with a picture on them?

    Jugo,

    What I would recommend you do is to download the Avery Label Pro add-in for Word and use it. What we must remember what using it however, is change print you 8.5 x 11 borderless settings when printing. Otherwise, your business cards print about 1/4 inch, especially towards the bottom of the page.

    You can print on cardstock and cut out them yourself or use business cards Avery.

    Welcome to the HP Forum.

    Try the following with your label template:

    Avery Wizard for Microsoft® Office

    If you don't have Word, you can use the software online and then print on your printer.

    If you like:

    Click on through the creation of a model, and you can create a template of "plain".

    Add what you want each / all business cards.  You can add tiny photos or Clip-Art to the corners to customize each card and / or add funds.  Add text in any format desired for each card.

    ============================================================================

    The template creates a standard Word .docx document - any type of file owner fantasy.

    Set your printing preferences for media > Brochure glossy or similar so that the printer waits the thick card stock.

  • Business cards printing Avery: «the WANDERING MARGIN PROBLEM-upper margin question»

    Does anyone have an idea if HP has an idea on how to charge someone to solve this problem of card perforated business stock do not print correctly?  This problem is now all over the internet.

    I intend to consumerist on-site validation in the hope that they would return to the problem.

    And look at all the other posts for business card printing problems that I looked into this forum and no there are no solutions.  And no huge thick shouldn't matter since everyone here has probably seen a HP catch upwards of more than 3 or more sheets of paper and print on the top, okay...

    I suffer from this PROBLEM of MARGIN WANDERING too.  I have

    have the printer of HP all-in-one Officejet Pro L7680, Windows XP, Office 2007, Microsoft Publisher, model Avery 8873.  I did everything correctly.  Always my business cards print perfectly on regular paper and they print directly from the upper part on the expensive card stock.  It's very frustrating.

    I tried the ideas here.  I tried thick paper, map of Photo greeting, best quality and normal quality.  I tried holding my finger on the map slightly as it feeds in.  I tried folding the sides of the card upward slightly.  I get a print one out of every five success.  I'm so freakin disappointed I could scream.  I've been laid off and I put in network and interviews to attend to and I need my business cards!

    Avery people are useless.  They wanted me to call Microsoft!  I kept saying 'Meg' alignment was very good for ordinary and incorrect paper with a stock of cards Avery.  I asked her if she knew thick HP for card stock printer settings.  She told me to call Microsoft.  I wonder if she was in fact an automaton that accepts no responsibility.

    I thought I bought the best brand printer.  I tried the Brother brand.  They are really lousy.  I really expect HP to be better.

    In the end, I got a few cards that are acceptable.  But I've lost 80%!  If you compare them they are not all aligned the same.  With capacities of shit like that I could just my printer scrap and the contract of employment at Office Depot.  Who needs this aggravation?
