As soon as my new printer arrives I will test it out & see if I did it right.

Maybe you can put your image together and then upload it to the Button Maker program. Sorry, not much help. That is a tough one.

I have not downloaded the template in a long time. I think I just printed it out and made my own from that. I'm sure someone will help you with the template download. Congratulations!

I only use corel so I am not sure, I have never actually used a template, (might be easier, not sure) I just use a circle and powerclip my image into it and delete the outline so it does not show on the button. Lots of useful info on here. Welcome to the forum Congrats.

Most photos I tried seemed to do okay with that since they covered the entire surface. On the inkjet, I'll try the HP everyday photo paper recommended, and then compare quality between the two. I'm hoping the photo paper will give better results - sounds like it should. Thanks! For the laser printer, I think the 98 brightness and 24 lb is what I’ll use.

It won't go as a pdf file put it will go as a jpeg. The sent files will not be sized correctly for the button maker for some reason but they can be looked at. Open it in Microsoft paint, and save it there as a jpeg and then send it as an attacment. My son figured it out for me and you’re right. It won’t go as a pdf file put it will go as a jpeg.

Perhaps you can save the file as a jpeg, that is how most of my purchased images come.
