1. Why aren't the cards correctly sized on the preview page?
   1. Make sure that during Preview the card outline is not longer or taller than the blue guide bars. Also, make sure the blue bars are not pushed apart in the corner where they meet as shown on our card sizing example.
   2. Don't use too many characters in the lines provided on the cards, a good starting point is 40 characters. Different styles may be able to handle more or fewer characters depending upon the style layout.
   3. Don't let the text to wrap to the next line as this can distort the size of the cards. If it does wrap remove characters until it doesn't.
   4. When using your own logo image make sure it is no larger than 50X50 pixels or it could distort the size of the cards, the background size won't affect the size but may get cut off.
   5. Choose a smaller text size by using a smaller number from the Size select boxes.
   6. Choose another font, some fonts are more compact than others, such as Arial.
   7. Try removing a line if the size is too tall.
   8. If you have made your text bold you can try clearing the Bold box, bold letters are larger than normal weight letters.
2. Why do the cards run off the page when I print?
   1. If the cards run off the page when you print, go to File, then Page Setup on your browser and set the margins to zero, then it should work properly. View our Card Printing Tips page for a pictorial explanation.
   2. Also, be sure you don't have the Top Margin on the Preview page set incorrectly that would push the cards down too much.
3. Why don't my card backgrounds print?
   1. If your browser is not set correctly the background images of the cards will NOT be printed.
      
      To correctly set Chrome, Firefox, Opera & Safari:
      1. Go to File > Page Setup
      2. Select the Format & Options tab > select the Print Background box.
      
      To correctly set Internet Explorer:
      1. Go to Tools > Internet Options...
      2. Select the Advanced tab > scroll down to Printing
      3. Select the Print background colors and images box
      4. Click Apply, then click OK
4. Why can't I use my image in the Business Card Listing?
   1. If you used your own images print and save your cards first before you post your card to our listing. Your own images are not allowed on our free business card listing page. We cannot ensure how appropriate they are or how long they will be live on the web. If they disappear from the web the images will not show. If this occurs please go back to the Logo and Backgrounds pages and use images from our gallery.
5. How do I correct errors or make changes in my images or information?
   1. Check you card for typographical and grammatical errors, if you are not satisfied with the copy or images selected click the appropriate button on the Preview page corresponding to the section that needs to be changed. For example, if you want to try another card style click the "Styles" button.
6. How do I print the back side?
   1. Print the front side first then on the Preview page click the "Print Back" button, you will be taken to the print page.
   2. Take the paper out of the printer and turn it over to print the back side. Each person has different computer and printer configurations so you may need to make a test print to determine the correct direction to load the paper into your printer. Also, check to ensure the front lines up with the back, if needed you can change the height of the cards using the Top Margin setting.
7. How much does it cost? How many cards can I make?
   1. There is no cost, and you can make as many cards as you like whenever you wish. The PCman Website print shop is open 24/7/365.
