Print Wizard Icon
Screen Shot 4 - Print Wizard
The Print Wizard is unique to Dazzling Reflections it allows you to print kscopes larger than 8" all
the way to 16" using your 8.5"x11" printer. How cool is that!
From the Printing Screen click on the "Print Wizard" icon, the "print wizard" dialog box will pop
up. In this example we will create a 10" kscope. Using the slider bar slide it to the 10" position.
The print wizard will automatically calculate that 2-sheet of 8.5"x11" paper are required for this
project and shows an icon to represent that.
You may also enter the dimensions of your kscope in the "Size X" and "Size Y" boxes. Use these
boxes to create rectangle and oval frame. Be sure to check our "Scrapbook pages" section to see
examples of this.

We realise that printing supplies can be expensive
and created the Paper Saver feature to compensate
for that: Paper Saver is another unique feature that
Dazzling Reflections offers. For template that have
negative space in the center the Paper Saver feature
may be activated by clicking the "paper saver"
dialog box.
This allows you to print a 12" kscope on 2-sheets of
8.5"x11" paper versus 4-sheets. Great for 12"
scrapbook page borders!

Tip: for 12" page scrapbookers. In our experience 10" kscopes work well on 12" pages, they leave a 1"
border around the page for matting or journaling.
