How To Print Digital Files

How To Print the File With a Bleed and Cropmarks - Professional Printer Only

To get an 8 1/2” x 11” page with the pattern right to the edges take the PDF file to a professional printer like Staples.

Ask the printer to print file on larger paper or cardstock of your choice to allow for the 1/8” bleed and crop marks. Zoom in!

You can ask your printer person to trim for you using the crop marks OR do it yourself with your paper trimmer using the crop marks, if you have one big enough.

How To Print Your File Letter Size - Professional Printer or DIY

If you don't want to trim and you are ok with a tiny white margin around the pattern, you can either print yourself on your home colour printer or ask your printer person to print the PDF file to a letter sized paper and you won't require any trimming. You will need to print your PDF in "actual size" on an 8 1/2" x 11" page of paper or cardstock.

Zoom in and you can see the tiny white border.  The border will vary from printer to printer.
