printing coupons

[anawhatsme]

anyone know an easy and fool proof way to make printable coupons smaller?
i often end up having a full sheet of paper with one coupon on it.
i feel a little silly passing over such a gigantic coupon.
i tried changing % in the PDF but it doesn't seem to change print size.
i don't want it so big but i also don't want it too small.

I just print them and clip them but I'm interested if anyone else knows.

The only thing I do if feed the paper back in for the coupon printer ones because there is generally over half the sheet of paper left. That way I get two coupons on the paper and a little less waste.

I do this too.

i don't know what you guys mean.
i don't use the coupon printer program.
does that matter?

No, if there is a half sheet of paper left and you're printing a small coupon just put the half piece in your printer rather than wasting a full sheet.

The coupons normally print on the top half of the sheet so you can print on the other half by just sticking it back in the printer.

oh - ok.
yeah i get ya.
i do that... when they print small enough to do that.

here is a suggestion from another sc'er

you can run a page preview first and then use the % on the top or use a program that will print 6 to one page. I have a hp print program that allows multiples on one page and it sizes them down but you can try the options for your printer and hit preview first so you can see what it will look like before you print it. It all depends on your software and your printer


hope it helps

You can also try to print screen your coupons. If you are looking at printing different coupons sometimes you can just hit the PrtSc button on your keyboard (Print Screen button) and it will take a screen shot. You can then paste and crop the coupon into a Word document and then do the same with other different coupons and then that way you can get them on the same page and not waste a lot of paper. This solution really only works if you are printing multiple coupons in different locations.
