- The print stack option can tile cards on a page, so if you do a little
- quick math you can match the dimensions of your card size to that of the
- labels. For example.... I just wrote a stack whose card size is 384x144.
- If I print the stack at half size with the proper margins, my addresses
- print perfectly on the standard 10x3 label pages!

- The printer itself shouldn't matter. The system and printer driver should
- take care of all that stuff.
