greetings all,
As I write this, I hope someone might have gone through this before so they may be able to give me some advice on how to properly proceed. I’ve posted this request to the Photoshop forum(s) since I feel that the regulars here would be most knowledgeable regarding such a problem.
My challenge is this: I need to print a light watermark on an existing card that I have. The card measures approximately 3" x 4 1/4". "Existing" in the sense that this card already has graphics and printing on it. The challenges are these: 1. The card is one-of-a-kind and cannot be reproduced should it accidentally be destroy by the printer, and 2. My printer naturally only takes your garden-variety 8 1/2" sheets. (info: the printer is an HP psc 1350v "all-in-one" type)
Challenge: How could I run this card through the printer in such a way that I can print the light watermark on it without destroying the card. (Note: The card material is only slightly thicker/heavier than a sheet of 20lb paper).
I have thought of affixing the card very carefully to a standard sheet of paper using scotch tape, ever so lightly on the edges, and sending it through that way (after having made several test prints on a regular sheet of paper to see exactly where the mark will print).
Has anyone ever tried this before? Is there a better way of proceeding? Any and all advice very much appreciated.
