the safe to print lines of the product
• To add images go to the menu bar and select “INSERT” > “PICTURES”, then select your image from your computer or use
clipart. Place your image within the safe to print line of the product template.
• If there are multiple products on the template, create one product then select your designs and copy and paste the design
onto the remainder of the products within the safe to print lines.
• Verify your page set-up and printer settings.
• We suggest printing a test sheet with the template still on the product to verify your margins and layout.
• Once you have verified that your design is correct, select the red target symbol in the corner of your template and hit the delete key on your keyboard to delete the template.
