How can I print my own business cards?

How to print multiple business cards on a 12x18?

  • I have an Indesign and pdf of a 3.5x2 business card. My goal is to print 21 copies on a single sheet of 12x18 Is it at all possible to automatically print 21 cards using the single card file ? or must i lay it out on manualy on a 12 x 18 document ? please if someone can help in refrence to any adobe program

  • Answer:

    Without proper imposition software/plugins you will need to duplicate your card in the InDesign file. First save your file as a copy and call it something like File Name 21up.indd. Then increase your document size to the width of 3 cards and depth of 7 cards. Position the first card in the top left position across and down where you want it. Using the Selection tool, select all if it contains separate text/image frames and group. With this group selected go to Edit>Step and Repeat, make 2 copies at 3.5 horizontal offset (0 in vertical). Select the three cards and go to Step and Repeat again, this time make 6 copies at 2 vertical offset (0 in horizontal). Ready to print!
