Before you start printing,
some of the info below might be helpful
Regarding foldout inserts
Foldouts are only compatible with Version 1 printing instructions
Regarding duplex printers
The duplex feature on some printers flip the paper aggressively, the jolting causing the inserts to be misaligned from front to back. I personally flip my pages manually even though I have a duplex printer, it helps to achieve more centered prints.
Regarding scaling
100% may also show as the following: Actual Size, Full Size, Do Not Scale, Disable Scaling, Scaling Off, etc.
Regarding Version 2
Version 2 is meant for paper that is cut down to the insert size and then printed on. Please keep in mind that not all printers are able to handle smaller sizes of paper, so Version 2 may not work for you. Not to worry, though! Most people prefer using the Version 1 option, finding it easier and with better results achieved.
Regarding printer margins
Some printers have fixed margins while some have borderless capabilities. Be sure to check your paper size settings, as you can sometimes adjust the margin sizes. Please keep in mind edges of the insert designs may be cut off depending on the margin settings.
Alternative printing methods
If the instruction I've provided don't work for you, here are a few alternative insert printing methods I've found online that might be helpful: Printing on Windows by Philofaxy, Printing on Mac by Wendaful
Regarding A4 Paper
Though my inserts are formatted on US Letter size paper (excluding A5 inserts, which come with options for printing on A4 and US Letter size paper), through observing, mostly in the PPCO Facebook group, people who use my inserts where A4 paper is the standard vs. US Letter size, mostly have positive results when printing on A4 paper. The advice frequently brought up; in your print settings: set orientation to Auto, make sure A4 is selected as the paper size, print Actual Size or 100%, manual flipping, and using Acrobat.
