Please review your badges in this print preview very carefully before printing!
Please Note: If you have a lot of badges, it may take some time for the print dialog to come up after you press the Print button, especially if you have complex name tags with multiple images on them.
We recommend only printing the first page or two as a test before printing many badges to ensure that your printer page settings are correct and everything is lining up properly.
It is very important that your printer is set to the matching paper size, no margins, and no page scaling.
