Button sheet maker

Lay one image out as a printable page of circles for the button maker. Your image never leaves this computer: nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored, and the page prints from your own printer.

New to the machine? Find the button maker under equipment and read its SOP first. Short version: keep anything that matters well inside the circle, because the outer ring of paper wraps around the rim and is not visible on the finished button.

1. Pick an image

2. Button size

1.5in button. Image prints 1.6in wide with a white ring around it.

3. Frame it

4. Print

20 buttons per sheet (4 across, 5 down)

In the print dialog set Scale to 100%, not "Fit to page", and paper size to Letter. Then measure the printed ruler before you cut anything.

Advanced settings

The defaults match how Factory Two makes buttons. Change these only if you know why; a wrong number here prints a whole sheet that does not fit the press.

Leaves a bare white ring 0.118in wide, which is the paper that folds over the rim. Set this equal to the cut diameter for a full-bleed button with no white border.

Preview, shown smaller than it prints. The dashed outer circle is the cut line, the white ring inside it folds over the rim, and the dotted inner circle is the flat area you will actually see. Neither guide is printed.
