Printing custom paper sizes makes better use of your fabric. It could make the difference between being able to use a favorite fabric and not having enough.  

Custom sizes also allow you to print small scraps, Jelly Rolls and Nickels with Inklingo!  

You can print custom sizes with any ordinary Inkjet printer or all-in-one. It is not hard. You could probably do it on your own, but it is so important that Monkey and I have described it in detail in this PDF. Print these directions and follow along step-by-step-by-step for all of Monkey's best tips.

This is copied from an HP printer manual as an example:

Set a custom paper size

Use the Custom Paper Size dialog box to print on a special paper size. NOTE: This feature is not available for all paper types.

To define a custom paper size
1. Open the Printer Properties dialog box.
2. Click the Features tab.
3. In the Size drop-down list, select Custom.
The Custom Paper Size dialog box is displayed.
4. In the Name box, type a name for the custom paper size.
5. In the Width and Length boxes, type the dimensions of the custom paper size.
The minimum and maximum dimensions are displayed beneath Width and Length.
6. Click the unit of measurement: Inches or Millimeters.
7. Click Save to save the custom paper size.
8. Click OK to exit the Custom Paper Size dialog box.
9. To use the custom paper size, select its name in the Size drop-down list.

The steps for printing Custom Page Sizes are a little different on Mac, and can be summarized like this:

• Open the shape collection in Adobe Reader.
• File > Page Setup > Paper Size > Manage Custom Sizes
• Click the + sign (bottom left).
• Double click on the new untitled line in the box and name your paper size (e.g. Inklingo 7.25 x 12.25)
• Tab to the Paper Size boxes to input the width and height.
• Click OK to go back to Page Setup, and select Portrait or Landscape.

The screen shots in the PDF (above) show the steps on a PC, but it is still probably be worth a quick review by Mac users.

I get very few requests for help from Mac users, but several Inklingo quilters use Mac, so there is always friendly help available in the Inklingo Yahoo group.
