Paper Types

Paper Types are the specific paper layouts used when creating/queueing printed templates.  You can have a number of different paper types for different printing needs, such as a postcard size paper layout, a half sheet or whole sheet layout.   

Preset Paper Types

CORE has 5 preset paper types that accommodate most print template needs.  

• Letter (8.5 x 11) = Full sheet
• Legal (8.5 x 14) = Full sheet
• Avery 8160 = 30 per sheet at 1"x 2 5/8"
  
• Avery 8164 = 6 per sheet at 3 1/3" x 4" 
  
• School Sequence Card Labels = 4 per sheet at 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"
  

When you go to create your template, you can select one of these preset paper types.   If you have a shape, size or orientation that is not listed, you can create your own paper type.  See instructions below.

Adding a New Paper Type

To add a new paper type to to the Emails/Proofs Page in CORE

• On the left menu select Template Settings > then select Paper Types
  • Click Add a new: Paper Type
  • Name your paper type (recommend listing the size and number of templates that will fit on the paper) 
    • Example Name:  "8.5x11 - 4 Up Vertical"  for a paper type that will look like the example below.
      • Keep in mind, the paper size you will be running through your printer.  This example will use an 8.5x11 standard size paper, but will print 4 different templates on that paper.
        
  • Enter the following in decimal inches.  Example:  8 1/2 will be entered as 8.5
    • Page Height (paper height)
    • Page Width (paper width)
    • Top margin (space between the label and the top of the page) 
      • If printing on paper and not labels, this space may be 0
    • Side margin (space between the label and the edge of the page)
      • If printing on paper and not labels, this space may be 0
    • Vertical Pitch (space from the top of a label to the the top of the next label)
      • If printing on paper and not labels, the space is the same as the height of the form to be printed
    • Horizontal Pitch (space from the left side of a label to the left side of the label to the right)
      • If printing on paper and not labels, the space is the same as the height of the form to be printed
    • Label Height (the actual label or form height)
    • Label Width (the actual label or form width)
    • Number across (number of labels or forms to print across the paper)
    • Number down (number of labels or forms to print down the paper)
