You can also print your layout at home if you have a wide format printer.
Q: Can I buy your paper packs and print them on my home printer?
A: You can print your papers at home if you have a wide format printer that has the ability to print 12x12 documents. If you have a regular printer that only prints 8.5x11, you can resize the papers in Photoshop to be 8x8 or 6x6. You must keep the square proportions or the artwork on the patterned papers will become distorted.
