Hold your print up to the light. If the front is offset to the right use a negative value. Reprint to verify.

Not all paper is exactly 8.5in width, so this could vary if the cover or inner is using different paper!

Nesting pages causes a gradual offset due to the paper thickness. Ensure inner pages are nested in order.

Documentation

Create two 3.5" x 5" pocket journals from standard 8.5" x 11" letter sized paper sheets.

• 2148x1548 Image (300dpi)
• 716x516 Image (100dpi)

Select an existing template or upload your own.

How to Print

Start by printing the cover page, then decide if your notebook pages will have page numbers.

Without Page Numbers

Since there are no page numbers each inner sheet will have a standard front and back. Print an info page on the cover back or any template.

With Page Numbers

Use the page selection tool to correctly mark the pages then print them.

Page

• Cover - Front page is the right side and left the back of the booklet. 110lb+ (199gsm) Cardstock paper recommended.
• Detail (Cover Back) - Optional informational page. This is preferred when the inner pages use a different paper stock. If this is not the case then print the inner page on the back of the cover page.
• Inner - This paper stock can vary depending on the usage. 65lb is common. Too many pages can cause a notebook to be difficult to close or staple.

Text Overlays

Some templates ship with presets. These presets can be fully modified. You might also want to pull in dynamic data.

• {pageNumber} Current page number based on the left or right page placement.
• {pageIndex} Page index
• {year} ex: 2025
• {shortYear} ex: 25
• {month} ex: 1
• {monthPadded} ex: 01
• {monthFull} ex: January
• {monthShort} ex: Jan
• {day} ex: 8
• {dayPadded} ex: 08
• {index} Text entry index

Export

While templates are cached exporting can let you move templates or better organize your favorites.

Import

All imported text overlays will be stored as a new user defined entry.

Remove / Revert

Changes to text overlay presets can be reverted back to the template default. Additionally any user defined text overlays can be removed.
