Cardstock

  • First time through I printed to normal paper and then glued that to the cardstock. Ended up with a lot of folding issues (paper crunch for one).
  • HP 1200 LaserJet printer has a rear panel that allows almost bendless pass through: this is perfect

Scaling

  • Need to make notes on scaling and measuring
  • The first time I did this I was able to print on 30 sheets, the second time it came out as 54 (parts didn't scale to sheet - did I miss a step?)
  • See http://www.405th.com/showthread.php?t=25588
