Which printer settings should I use?Print quality should be set to the highest quality / resolution setting. Any scaling should be turned off so the badges print at "actual size". Eco-Friendly 100% Card Badges We recommend using a laser printer. However inkjet printers are also okay for printing these badges. Settings vary from printer to printer. Try to follow these instructions as closely as possible with your printer. It is important to select the "media type" or "paper type" as thick card or card stock on your printer. You must select the heaviest weight setting. This will avoid jams and also smudging. Our eco- friendly butterfly badges come as 246 GSM A4 sheets for printing (190 GSM with a 56 GSM backing). We recommend using a printer rated with a maximum media thickness of 250 GSM or higher. Insert Paper for Badge Holders Both inkjet and laser printers work. This paper is approximately 135 GSM thickness.
