Important Tips to Remember
Ensure your placemats come out looking fantastic with these quick tips:
- This file works best if opened in Adobe Acrobat. It may open in other programs (like Mac Preview), but I cannot guarantee it will provide the best printing properties.
- Set your printer to “Best Quality” mode to make the colors and designs pop.
- These designs will look best on matte printer paper or white card stock, but regular printer paper will also work in a pinch.
- Don’t forget to print extra copies! It’s always good to have a backup for spills.
