Print your game with confidence

Follow these steps to keep cards, cut lines and printable pieces at their intended size. Always use the instructions supplied with your individual game if they differ from this general guide.

Before you press print

1. Save your files

Download the files from your order email and save a copy somewhere easy to find before opening them.

2. Read the game notes

Check the instructions supplied with your game for its recommended paper size, colour settings and single- or double-sided pages.

3. Check the scale

Select 100% or Actual Size in the print window unless the game instructions say otherwise. Avoid “Fit to Page” when cards or cut lines need to stay at their intended size.

4. Print a test page

Print one page first. Check that text, cut lines and important details are clear before printing the complete game.

5. Choose the right paper

Normal printer paper is suitable for many instruction and puzzle pages. Light card gives playing cards and reusable pieces a sturdier finish.

6. Cut and prepare

Allow the ink to dry, then follow the cut, fold and assembly marks. Keep solutions and final reveals separate until the game tells you to use them.

If the print does not look right

Edges are missing

Check the selected paper size. Try the borderless setting only when your printer supports it.

Cards look too small

Change the scale to 100% or Actual Size.

Text looks faint

Use a higher print-quality setting and check the ink levels.

Double-sided pages do not align

Use the single-sided option or follow the game-specific duplex instructions.

Preparing a printable box

Card-game boxes need scoring, folding and adhesive as well as cutting. Follow the printable box assembly guide for the complete process.
