Printing on Half-Size and A5 Paper
There are hundreds of beautiful half-size printables out there but it can be very intimidating to print on A5 paper. I'm here to let you know that it's really super easy and how you can start using all of those fabulous printables!
PRINT ON Half-Size PAPER
Half-size measures 5.5" x 8.5." To create this size, simply cut a standard letter (8.5" x 11") sized piece of paper in half. You can also purchase half-size sheets at some office supply stores and online retailers. If you plan on heading to Michaels for your half-size or A5 paper (and other crafting supplies), be sure to check out these Michaels coupon codes to save on your purchase.
To print on the half sheets, load the paper into your printer tray and open the printable PDF. Click on print settings then change the paper size to 5.5” x 8.5.” Once these settings are correct, you can print!
PRINT ON A5 PAPER
A5 paper measures 5.83” x 8.27.” This can be a little more time-consuming and tricky to trim yourself compared to half-size. If you’re looking to print on A5 paper I suggest picking up a pack or two from Amazon. Here is a great deal for A5 Blank Paper 6-Hole Punched, 250 Sheets.
I purchased that paper along with this PU Leather Notebook Binder to print my Reading Journal this year.
DOUBLE-SIDED PRINTING
Most printers have duplex (front and back) printing capabilities and will walk you through the printing process. If you aren't sure if your printer has this capability, please consult the manual or search the manufacturer's website.
If your printer doesn't have duplex printing capabilities, you can print the odd pages first, then reinsert your paper and print the even pages on the other side. Note that you may have to reverse the order of the pages depending on your printer and that the cover page must be printed for everything to line up correctly. I recommend printing a few test pages before printing the entire planner.
Printers
If you’re looking for a good printer, I have this Brother Compact Laser Printer for all of my black and white printing. And this Canon PIXMA TR4520 Wireless Printer for color printables and some larger photos.
I also have a couple of the smaller photo printers for scrapbooking and memory journaling.
Canon SELPHY CP1300 for 4x6 photos
Canon Ivy Mini Printer for small 2x3 photos.
