Business Card FAQ for FREE Business Cards Creator

The most probable reason is that you are not using Internet Explorer. Switch to IE and it should work fine. Otherwise you may have some sort of security software or browser incompatibility that is disabling this function in this program. If you cannot resolve the issue it is suggested that you use one of our logos or backgrounds.

Why don't my card backgrounds print?

If your browser is not set correctly the background images of the cards will NOT be printed. To set Internet Explorer to print backgrounds go to:
1. Tools > Internet Options... The Internet Options window opens.
2. Select the "Advanced" tab > scroll down to "Printing".
3. Check the "Print background colors and images" box.
4. Click "Apply" then "OK" now you're done it will print correctly.
We have found a bug with IE itself that when you use the print button on the toolbar at the top of IE, the backgrounds will not print even if you have set the browser to print backgrounds. To rectify this: go to File, then Print. Printing this way will print the backgrounds as opposed to using the toolbar button.

How go I change my background or logo?

To change your background or logo simply go through the background or logo pages and click on the circle under your desired image to select it.

How do I use my own background or logo?

To use your own background or logo click the circle to the left of the browse box at the bottom of the background or logo pages.
Push the "Browse" button to navigate to your desired image on your computer then click OK. Note you must use Internet Explore for it to work correctly.

Why don't the cards come out the right size on the preview page?

You need to use Internet Explorer 5 or higher browser.
Make sure that during Preview the card outline is not longer or taller than the green bar guides. Also make sure the green bars are not pushed apart in the corner where they meet. Card Sizing Guide
Don't use too many characters in the lines provided on the cards a good guide is 40 characters. Different styles many be able to handle more or less characters depending upon the style layout.
Don't allow the text to wrap to the next line as this can distort the size of the cards. If it does wrap remove characters until it doesn't.
When using your own logo image make sure it is no larger than 50X50 pixels or it will distort the size of the cards the background size won't affect the size.
Choose a smaller text size by using a smaller number from the Size select boxes.
Choose another font some fonts are more compact than others, such as Arial.
Remove a line if the card is too tall.
If you have made your text bold you can try un-checking the bold box, bold letters are larger than normal weight letters.

Why don't my fonts work right?

Consult our business card fonts guide it also contains information about where to get more free fonts for you to use.

Why do the cards run off the page after printing?

If the cards run off the page after printing, go to File then Page Setup on your browser and set the margins correctly then it should work.

How do I correct errors or make changes in my images or information?

Check you card for typographical and grammatical errors, if you are not satisfied with the copy and image selected press "Change Info". If you want to try another card style or another background press "Preview" on that page there is a collection of buttons at the bottom that will allow you to edit each section. These buttons are also on the "Finish" page, if you are happy with your card press "Print >>" at the bottom.
