hello guys

I've got a problem with creating a custom size document in PSM - ex. i want to create a business card with the size of 85 x 54 mm.

But i'm only able to select standard sizes - even though i select "PostScript Custom paper size". i'm not able change the values.

Is it really true that this cant be done ?

Reprohuset,

The custom paper sizes are actually created in your driver and read by PrintShop Mail Design, not the other way around. From your Page Setup, click on Advanced and use your driver properties dialog to add the custom size.

This requires your driver to be PostScript of course, and the driver must offer you this feature.

Hi Reprohuset,

Will you be printing a single card at a time? The actual sheet of paper will be 85x54mm?

If you will be printing multiple cards on a single sheet, then you need to customize the size of the overlay in PSM, and adjust the repetitions setting to suit your desired layout. The paper size in the printer will most likely be a more standard size. If not, Eric's method is completely valid at this point.

Let us know if you still need assistance.

Thanks. Regards,

Olivier

Well, the thing is I only need it to make a produkt for PSW with the custom dimensions - After worth we wont be using the psm to print the actual job, just to deliver the file with variable data smile
