SUMMARY
When you print a Creative Writer card to a Hewlett-Packard (HP) DeskJet or DeskWriter printer, the bottom borders may be cut off.

The standard card layout and folding method puts the cropped borders at the bottom of the cover and back pages of the card. By rearranging the page order and using a different folding technique, you can make the printer limitation less noticeable.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, use the following steps:
 * 1) When you design the card, switch pages one and three, and switch pages two and four.
 * 2) When you fold the card, fold the top edge to the back as usual, then fold the left side to the front instead of the back.



MORE INFORMATION
The HP DeskJet and DeskWriter series printers have a large bottom page margin that cannot be changed. This fixed margin crops some borders at the bottom of the first and last pages of a Creative Writer card, even when the widest margin is selected.
