Card Properties dialog allows you to define card parameters, which refer to the card appearance, and how it is printed. The program comes with a large list of popular card stock from major vendors, so most likely you'll find the paper type you're going to use in the Predefined Layouts list (for more about layouts see Printing layouts). If your paper is not in the list, you can create a custom layout by switching to the Custom Layout tab.
Setting paper color is required to see how the printed cards will look like. Note that paper color is just emulated, it is not printed!
Orientation determines vertical or horizontal card design. This parameter does not refer to the positioning of printed cards - it refers only to the card design itself.
The extensive table includes all business card stock available. To make your search in this large selection easier, we offer using special filters for finding the required paper type: Paper size, Manufacturer, Category. If you choose the manufacture named Your Own, you get the layouts for printing your cards on the cardboard and further cutting them yourself.
This tab lists the layouts created by the user. Initially this list is empty. To create a new layout, click the Create New button.
When a layout is selected, the Delete, Edit and Duplicate options become available for it.
More details about creating and editing a custom layout can be found in Editing custom layouts.
