We have provided you with a step by step guideline on how our best tips in printing your wedding program. Check out our wedding program printing guidelines webpage for the details. You can either print them yourself on your own home printer or take them to a local office supply store, online printer, or email the template to us and we'll print them for you with our professional printing services.

The more color that is on a template, the more ink you will use if you are planning on printing them on your home printer. All our program templates come with a front and back design for a complete and professional presentation. Here are some ways to cut printing costs and save ink for those who are printing on the home printer:

 

 Put your printer in DRAFT mode. The heads of your printer will not press down as hard and therefore will conserve ink. The colors will be more subtle and softer in this mode. The lettering may not be as crisp but do a test print to see if it is going to be acceptable to you.

 

Remove the back design of the template. You can remove the back design and just have the front design on the program, if you desire. You can also print the back and inside text in black and white and have the front cover only in color.

 

If you are going to take your completed program to an offsite printer, you will be charge for each page of color printing regardless of how much color is on that page. So we recommend you leave the front and back design backgrounds in place.

Yes! You can easily do that and save costs. Then you will only be paying for printing the front and back cover design, which is on the same page inside the template. Keep in mind if you insert any photos on the inside of the program, it will be printed in black and white as well. You could place the photo(s) on the front or back cover, since you will be printing those pages in color.

In Microsoft Word 2003 and Publisher, sometimes when you do a print preview, you may see an uneven white border around the perimeter of your wedding template document. The white border appears thicker on the right side of the document than the other areas. This is due to your print driver settings.  In order to get an even white border when printing or no border at all (for the printers that have the borderless feature), you need to make sure your margins are set to 0 and the paper size is set to letter borderless.

 

This issue is not a template problem but rather can be corrected through a setting within your print driver. You may also need to update your printer driver, if you have an HP Printer over 3 years old.

 

Every printer is different so you may or may not experience this issue. If you see this when doing a print preview for your home printer and plan to take this to an offsite printer, you should not see this in the final printed document. The print facility will know how to set their print driver to manage this issue.
