Pile of Index Cards

This is an experiment to print out a PDF from Mac OS X’s Preview.app to 5×3 size index cards.

What I use here are
- Canon iP90
- Preview.app of Mac OS X Leopard
- 5×3 Index Cards
- SCT Cards (PDF, 5 inch x 3 inch size, 480KB)

Then,
1. Create “Custom Paper Size” of 3 inch x 5 inch size (not 5 inch x 3 inch!)
2. Open the PDF file and choose “Print” from the Preview.app
3. Set up in print window as shown above
4. Set up a 5×3 index card to a printer
5. Print!

I had tried several combination of setting and finally it works.

The results is like this,

I mentioned a printer ink is repeled a bit by grid. Else, it seems o.k. :)
