Enhance your scrapbook
creations |
 |


Print on traditional 12" x 12" and 8" x 8" scrapbook paper.


Create your own one-of-a-kind scrapbook backgrounds. |
 |
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.

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.

Get creative with digital
scrapbooking |
 |


Print photos and embellishments directly onto your scrapbook pages.


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.

If you don't have a wide-format printer,
you can still print on popular 8" x 8" scrapbook paper using a standard-sized
printer, like the HP

pages and high-quality photo prints at an affordable price.
