I used these postcards as "Save the Date" cards for my wedding guests. You can either download templates for Adobe/Microsoft products from Avery's website, use built-in Avery templates (MS Publisher) or create your own layout and use the lightweight practice sheet to check your placement. The printing looked very crisp, no smearing or blurring. For a more professional look, you can bleed print on these since there are only two postcards/sheet. Perforation is fantastic and comes away cleanly. The only thing missing is a downloadable template for Pages for Mac users.

This product worked well in my printer. However, I had to insert blank spaces above the template because if I didn't, it would have printed above the lines for the cards. I used it for making a recipe book and as long as I put in the spaces, they printed fine.

For whatever reason, these sheets did not feed consistently through my printer. If I made a test print on regular paper, the label printed in the right spot. But when using this product, the label would not print in the correct spot, top to bottom, and would vary considerably in position from one page to another. It was impossible to make an acceptable print. I had much better success just using a word processor and 3 x 5 or 4 x 6 cards. They printed up great. This product, however, did not work for me.

After countless tries and numerous copies made in grayscale to save ink, I give up on ever getting these postcards to align right! I tried creating the postcard in the Avery website, in Publisher, in Excel and in Word.................nothing works. You can adjust and adjust and adjust and it still comes out crooked or misaligned. Waste of money and a big waste of time. Hire them done!

I'm studying for my nclex exam and i thought it would be a good idea to make notecards for all my diseases, drugs & treatments....so I purchased about 6 sets of these... they re pretty expensive but its not like i had a choice ($22.00/each) they are medium weight so they feel like real index cards you get at a stationary store. The only thing is that it is hard to align each card....everytime you print it comes out different it sometimes over the line and sometimes way under...So what I did was I had to make one word document for each index card page. So I had like 200 word documents where i only used the first page of...(makes sense?) i know it sounds onfusing but it was a perfect alignment then. So to summarize: only the first page of word document you enter info into will align your notecard perfect!
