Help with printing at Staples
Syco54645:
So I am having nothing but trouble trying to print these with what I have on hand (except for my B&W Laser printer, that works fine). I do have a printer that uses HP97 tricolor cart but I have yet to try that as I am all out of ink and am fairly certain I wouldn't be able to print very many with this cart anyway.
So with that said I am thinking about going to the self print Staples near me. How do I go about getting these to print correctly there. I have seen people make reference to going this route but not seen instructions.
Thanks!

I've never tried to print at Staples or any other printing service, but these seem to be the most common problems that people run into
* They often print too large. By default, they try to fill up the entire piece of paper. Make sure they understand that you want them printed out in the size they are prepared for. Make sure you have them run a few test prints before having them run an entire group.
* Sometimes they won't print anything that might be a copyright infringement. This is more of a case by case basis and will depend on the person you are dealing with. It might help to inform them that you are not selling these, but if they say no, there ins't much you can do other than try another location.

I would end up using the self service area. Failing that I guess I can try getting ink for the tricolor but that is just a waste...

download photoshop and make sure the sizes are correct so you don't waste any money on the clicks.

Just make sure they print at the native resolution and use no scaling of any sort. Just make sure your covers are all 300dpi, as some are randomly 72dpi, which will confuse their whole setup.
