Creating a Custom Paper Stock

If the paper size you want is not listed in the available options you can create your own paper size. Please note though that in order to print using your own paper stock it must be a paper format that your printer is capable of printing.

To create your own paper stock, click on the "New" button from the Blank Project Wizard.

The Custom Paper Stock Wizard is displayed.

This will give you the following options:

Paper Stock Name - names your paper stock for later use.
Paper Dimensions - sets the length and width of the paper stock in either inches or millimeters.
This stock is a label option - allows you to setup the project as a label or business card and makes the label setup fields available.
Number of Rows - sets the number of horizontal rows.
Distance Between Rows - sets the amount of empty space between each label vertically.
Number of Columns - sets the number of vertical columns.
Distance Between Columns - sets the amount of empty space between each label horizontally.
Top - Left Position of First Label - sets the top and left margins of your paper stock.
This stock is a round label option - sets your labels to either round or square.
Associate Paper stock with drop down - assigns a project category to this paper type, so it can be easily accessed in the future.
Save - saves the custom paper for later.
Cancel - returns you to the Blank Project Wizard.

A preview of your blank template is displayed on the right side of the Custom Paper Stock wizard, based on your current options.

Once you're done setting up your Custom Paper Stock, click Save. The Blank Project Wizard is displayed, and your new paper stock will be in the list of available paper stocks.
