A professional photo printer, like the HP Photosmart Pro B8850, is the perfect printer for scrapbooking and an investment that can bring new life to your favourite hobby.

When you customize your printer settings with a wide-format printer, you can:

  • Print on your favourite paper sizes

    With an HP wide-format printer, you are no longer limited to an 8.5" x 11" format. Customize your settings to print on 8" x 8" and 12" x 12" scrapbook paper, or any desired size up to 13" x 19".

  • Customize your design

    Don't limit yourself to the craft store's creative options. Make your own totally unique backgrounds or one-of-a-kind digital scrapbook pages, then print them on popular scrapbook paper sizes.

  • Streamline production

    Whether you handcraft your scrapbook pages or design them digitally, having the ability to print on popular scrapbook paper sizes eliminates the extra step of cutting down or stitching pages together to fit traditional scrapbooks. Plus, you have the option of printing your photos directly onto your scrapbook page.

Customize your settings for the paper size you use most often.
It's easy to customize your print settings for the paper sizes you use most often. And with an HP wide-format printer, you can customize your paper dimensions up to 13" x 19".

From your design or printing application, follow these steps (steps may vary slightly, depending on your application):

Step 1: Select File. Then select Page Setup.

Step 2: From the paper size drop down menu, select Manage Custom Sizes.

Step 3: Enter the width and height of your paper (such as 12" x 12"), as well as your desired printing margins.

Step 4: Select OK. In many applications, your custom print size will be saved in the paper size drop down menu for future use.

Find digital scrapbook templates like this one at the HP Activity Centre.
Using your computer to create scrapbook pages is a great way to both expand your creative options and simplify your process. With digital scrapbooking you can:

  • Print photos directly on your page

    Printing photos and other graphical elements right on your scrapbook page means no costly extra prints, and best of all, no cutting and pasting mess!

  • Print photos of any size

    Make your photos as large as you want. No need to comply with traditional photo sizes or worry about additional printing costs.

  • Share your creations

    Print multiple copies of your scrapbook pages to share with friends and family. Then everyone can enjoy your handiwork and the events highlighted in your creations.

To create your own scrapbook pages, use design software (such as Photoshop or Photoshop Elements) or your computer's image-editing program to build your custom layout.

You can also visit the HP Activity Centre to choose from a variety of beautiful digital scrapbook templates, like the Urban green digital scrapbook. Just upload your own photos and text.
