I have printed out 8x8 layouts from photoshop onto photo paper and they look great. I have printed photos on cardstock and they don't look so good unless you are looking for that washed out faded look. It also has a cool feature called wordart. With Word, you can also use it like Printmaster sort of and add photos or clipart. When I need to print something easy like just text on 12 x 12 cardstock, I use Word, you can go to page setup and type in 12 x 12 for paper size then just print it out on your cardstock. It is a great program, I use it to make birthday cards and stuff. I'm with you and Printmaster I bought it back in 1997 and Rob keeps buying me new versions when he sees them. I can fit quite a few pictures on one sheet of that. I also buy the 8 1/2 x 11 to use for regular photos that I scrapbook. I don't like the Matte kind at all, to me it doesn't look like a real photo, but that is my opinion.

I hardly ever print that size though because it uses a lot of ink and my printer has three different cartridges to buy for! I have printed out 13 x 19 pictures of my children, but those were for portraits that I sent to my parents. That is only if I want the picture to run the entire length of my scrapbook page. If I want to print on photo paper, I have never printed 12 x 12, only different varieties of that, like 12 x 4 or similiar.

It came out great and I don't have to go looking for certain patterned papers now! I just scanned some Patriots material to my computer and then printed it on 12 x 12 cardstock.

I have been using it lately to make my own Patterned Paper. Click to expand.I use Microsoft Picture It as well and it is easier to use then Photoshop Elements, which I also have.Īs for what I print, I usually use my printer to print on 12 x 12 cardstock, if I want the journaling directly on the cardstock.
