Here is a simple way to make you own cards if you
have a Hewlett Packard Printer. It seems that the
sizing is different on a Cannon. The concept will
still work, but the sizing may need to be changed.
If anyone figures it out I will gladly add the
information.
You
will not need to flip your images or use any other
tools. Simply go to a testbed with this code.
<![CDATA[
<html>
<spacer type=block height=380 width=320> <img
src="address of image to be used" width="550"
height="320">
</html>
</plaintext><p>I use the <a
href="http://www.jmarshall.com/easy/html/testbed.html
">HTML TestBed</a>
<p>What this will do is put
the image on the bottom half of the card and
eliminate the need for flipping the image.
<p>Just change the address to put any image in that
appeals to you. I try to use an image that has a
white background to avoid seeing the white border
that the printer leaves around the edge of the
paper.
<p><br><br>To put text inside of the card you will
use
<p><plaintext> <html>
<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br
<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br
<br><br><br><br>
<br><br><br><font
size="7"
color="blue"><center>
Line #1<br><br>Line #2<br><br> Line #3 <br> <br>
Line #4 </font></center>
</html>
</plaintext><p>To add more lines and
keep the text centered you
will need to play around with the break tags
above.<p>When ready, put the paper back in the
printer with the image facing up and to the
front.<br><br><br>
Here are a few images that I have
printed sucessfully<br><br>
