Impose one card design across a whole sheet
Load a single card design — JPEG, PNG, HEIC or a one-page PDF — and get a sheet with as many copies as will fit, plus trim marks and a mirrored back sheet for duplex printing. No page-layout application and no imposition plug-in required.

Three steps from artwork to sheet
First load one card design; a phone HEIC, a PNG exported from a design app or a one-page PDF all work. Second, pick the card size — 91 by 55 mm for a Japanese business card, 3.5 by 2 inches for a US one — along with the paper, the sheet margin and the gap between cards. Third, enter how many cards you need and build the PDF; the sheets are repeated until the count is covered.
Paper weight, and cutting the sheet apart
Card stock between 180 and 220 gsm is easy to handle and most consumer inkjets accept up to roughly 0.2 mm through the rear or manual tray. Cut with a steel rule and a sharp knife, or a small guillotine. Setting the gap to 0 mm makes neighbouring cards share an edge, so one cut finishes two cards and the error never accumulates. If you are printing bleed, leave a 4-6 mm gutter instead and trim each card on its own.
Bleed and trim guides, explained
Any design whose colour reaches the edge needs 3 mm of bleed: the artwork has to run past the trim line, or a half-millimetre of drift leaves a white sliver. The bleed setting here re-lays the image 3 mm larger on every side. For guides you can choose a solid outline, a dashed outline, corner trim marks, or nothing at all — corner marks are the safest when you do not want ink on the finished card.
Getting a double-sided card to register
Turn on double-sided and each front sheet is followed by a back sheet mirrored across the binding edge. Use long-edge binding for a duplex unit, and match whichever way you physically flip the stack when feeding by hand. Print one test sheet on plain paper and hold it up to a light to check the two sides line up before you commit good card stock.
Frequently asked questions
Can it match a specific brand of perforated multi-card stock?
Yes. The card size accepts arbitrary millimetres and the sheet margin and gap are both adjustable in 0.5 mm steps, so entering the numbers from the product sheet reproduces that layout. Japanese ten-up multi-card stock is typically 91 by 55 mm cards with an 11 mm sheet margin and no gap.
My printed cards come out slightly off position.
Nine times out of ten the print dialog is scaling the page. Set scaling to none or 100 percent and turn off borderless printing. If a small drift remains it is the printer feed, not the PDF; widen the margin to 8 mm or more and cut to the trim marks, which absorbs the error.
Will this work at a copy shop or a convenience-store copier?
Yes. Japanese convenience stores have multi-function copiers that print a PDF from a USB stick or a network print service — choose A4 at 100 percent. Those machines will not take heavy card stock, so for real card weight use a home printer with a manual feed tray, or hand the same PDF to a print shop.
Does my artwork get uploaded anywhere?
No. Decoding the image, computing the imposition and writing the PDF all happen in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server and nothing is stored, which also means a CSV of names and phone numbers stays on your machine.
