HOW DOES THE PRINT AT HOME WORK? 
You can print THE STATIONERY PRODUCTS shown in STUFF TO BUY with all the Guys, Gals and Girls you can create. Ccurrently you can put 1 or 2 Guy/Gals/Girls on each card, label or sticker. Right now you can save up to 10 imagess, but you can always create new ones to replace the ones you already have saved and print the new ones too.
DOES THE PRINT AT HOME WORK ON BOTH A MACINTOSH AND PC?
Absolutely!

HOW CAN I TEST TO SEE IF MY PRINT FROM HOME FEATURE IS WORKING?  If you have already purchased the membership, the easiest way to make sure you can print is to go to MY ACCOUNT, MY PRINT PROJECTS and right next to any one of your saved jobs, click Print From Home.  You will then be given the option to print.

HOW CAN I SEE HOW MANY DAYS ARE LEFT ON MY PRINT FROM HOME MEMBERSHIP? 

Click on MY ACCOUNT at the top Nav. On the next page (left side) you will see ACCOUNT OVERVIEW and down towards it will say PRINT AT HOME MEMBERSHIP expires in X number of days.  

ONCE I PURCHASE THE GREATER GAL MEMBERSHIP, HOW DO I BEGIN PRINTING AT HOME?
You can print at home immediately. Everything you create is stored right online so there are no CD's or JPG files sent to you. Simply create your Gal and when you are in SHOP you will see all of the layouts you can create and print right at home. Remember, since your Gals and print jobs are stored on our site, you can go anywhere to print them as long as you have internet access and a printer. Just log into your account and print.

I SEE "SHOP", BUT I WANT TO PRINT FROM HOME?  Don't worry! Once you click on SHOP, you will see categories and within each category you will find layouts that you can design with your Gal on it. After you have designed and saved your print job, you will have the option to print from home.

HERE ARE STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS TO PRINT AT HOME Click on Get Started, design your Gal and then save her in your account.  

To place your saved Guy/Gal on stationery products, click MY ACCOUNT at the top, then SAVED GUYS/GALS on the left. SELECT the image you which to use and on the right click SHOP PAPER.

When you are done, click on Stuff To Buy. Here are all of the layouts. Select a category and a layout. Don't worry about seeing the price list - you will be able to print from home after you are done creating. (If you click Save after creating your Gal, after she is Saved you will be in MY GALS. Now click on either Print At Home or Stuff to Buy and you will be taken to the area to select your category and layout to begin creating!)

After you select your layout, you can use the Gal you just created or one of your saved Gals.

Add text to the layout and click Save!  Name your print job and now you are in MY PRINT JOBS. Right next to your saved print jobs is the Print At Home button. Click on that and you will be able to print.

DO I NEED A SPECIAL PRINTER?
In order to print from home, you'll need a color printer (ink jet, bubble jet, color laser) that's compatible with your computer. Contact the manufacturer for compatible models.
CAN I PRINT FROM ANY LOCATION OR DO I HAVE TO USE THE SAME COMPUTER I REGISTERED ON?
When you purchase the Print At Home membership, you can print from any computer at any location. Just go to www.designhergals.com, log on to your account and your saved Gals and print jobs will be in MY ACCOUNT. When you select "Print At Home" your jobs will print out on what ever printer is attached to the computer you are using at the time.
CAN I PRINT T-SHIRTS AT HOME?
No, you won't be able to because the image will come out reversed when you print at home.

ARE YOU HAVING TROUBLE PRINTING AT HOME?

Our Gals are very picky about their internet browser. Our Gals prefer to use Mozilla Firefox as their internet browser. It's easy, safe and FREE to do. Go to Mozilla Firefox and click on "Download Firefox".
Internet Explorer is our second choice, however our Gals just do not seem to like AOL or Safari (they just do not work right or print well.)
Don't forget to refresh and reboot your computer after you have made these adjustments. 

WHY ARE TWO OF MY CARDS GETTING CUT OFF WHEN I PRINT FROM HOME?

Most home inkjet printers have a non-printable 3/4" edge that the printer uses to grip the paper and pull it through. Unfortunately, since the printer can't print there, the left side of the border will be cut off on the 2 cards on the left of the page when printing at home. This only applies to cards with patterned borders and is not an issue for cards with plain white edges. We are working on a solution for our Print At Home customer to be able to use bordered cards and will keep you updated! 

DO I NEED SPECIAL PAPER?
All of our stationery designs have been formatted with specific templates in mind. To purchase the paper at your local office supply store, we have provided sample Avery product numbers below. Avery numbers change, so the important thing to note is the number of cards or stickers per sheet and the layout (which is why we have indicated how many up and how many over.)
Flat Note Cards, Flat Note Invitations and Recipe Cards - ie: Avery #8315. (4 cards per sheet - 2 up, 2 over. Each card is 5 1/2" x 4 1/4". Envelopes are sold separately when you buy the note cards on your own.)

Folded Cards (5 x 7 size )- No Avery number. Print them on card stock, fold in half and trim to fit in an A7 size envelope. The final trimmed size when they are folded is 5 X 7. There is a 1/4" overage of the design (bleed) on the top, bottom and right side, which you will want to trim off too.
The text you see on the screen will not print on your cards. To add your own text, first print the holiday cards with your Gal on them. Now open a Word document and write your text. Insert your printed cards back into your printer and print your Word document on the cards.

Folded Cards (4 1/4 X 5 1/2 size )- Avery #3268 or similar scored card stock. Please note: when printing the layout at home, one card image may be cut-off depending on the height of your Gal's accessories.

Calling Cards - ie: Avery #28877 (10 cards per sheet: 5 up, 2 over. Each calling card is 2" x 3 1/2".)
#10 Invitations - No Avery number. (Simply use 8 1/2" x 11" card stock. Each invitation will be 3 7/8" x 9 1/4". You will print 2 invitations per sheet, they fit in a standard #10 envelope and no extra postage is needed.)
3" x 3" Small Square Cards - No Avery number. (Simply use 8 1/2" x 11" card stock. You will print 6 per sheet - 3 up and 2 over.)

Memo Paper - No Avery number. (Use 8 1/2" x 14" - legal size paper). You will print 4 per sheet - 2 up and 2 over and each memo sheet measures 4 1/4" x 6 1/4". Remember when you print them at home, you won't have the acrylic memo holder.)

Cute Little Notes - No Avery number. (Simply use 8 1/2" x 11" paper. You will print 6 per sheet, but remember that when you print them at home, they won't be gummed at the top. They will be loose sheets of paper.)

Letterhead: No Avery number. (Use 8 1/2" x 11" paper or stationery. You will print 1 per sheet.)

Return Address labels - ie: Avery #18160 (30 labels per sheet - 10 up, 3 over. Each label is 2 5/8" x 1".)

Large Round Stickers - ie: Avery #5294 (12 labels per sheet - 4 up, 3 over. Each sticker is 2 1/2".)

Round Accent Sticker - ie: Avery #5293 (24 labels per sheet - 6 up, 4 over. Each stickers is 1.67".)

Gift Stickers - ie: Avery #18163 (10 labels per sheet - 5 up, 2 over. Each sticker is 4" x 2".)

Large Gift Stickers - ie: Avery #05264 (6 labels per sheet - 3 up, 2 over. Each sticker is 3 1/3" x 4".)
