🖨️ 2. Print at Home (Easiest Option)
You can print your digital downloads using almost any home printer — even older models. Just follow these steps:

Cutting Your Cards
If your printable includes cards, use scissors, a paper cutter, or a ruler with a craft knife. Follow the cut lines for neat, even edges.
🏪 3. Print Without a Home Printer

“The file won’t open.”
Install a free PDF reader such as Adobe Acrobat Reader, Apple Books, or Google Drive, then try opening the file again.
“The print is too small or too big.”
In your print settings, change the scale to 100% or Actual Size. Make sure “Fit to Page” is turned off unless you specifically need it.
“My colors look dull.”
- Use higher-quality paper.
- Set print quality to High.
- Run your printer’s cleaning function if available.
- Consider printing at a local shop for richer color.
