Question December Daily 2011 6x8.5 Overlays

I just finished printing all of my overlays and realized they are the wrong size. The actual printing size turned out to be 6.5 x 9.25 give or take a few. At first I thought I downloaded the wrong template but not. Can someone help me?

Don't own them, but are they meant to be mounted on an 8.5x11 sheet of cardstock?

I just checked the pixel dimensions on a few of them and they are a true 6 x 8.5.

What steps did you take to open and print them?

Where did you print through? I know when I print things I have to make sure in PS I save my picture to the size I want it, and then upload to the store and purchase the appropriate size. Otherwise, the photo get cut off in places from being enlarged to fit. Good luck with getting it all figured out!

Your printer may be resizing them to fit your paper choice. When you print, be sure to choose actual size. You'll want to uncheck anything that says scale to fit media.

You can also open a Word document and import the overlays like clipart into the document. Print from Word and they should come out the right size.

All I did was open the pdf file and click on print. I'll take another look and see what I did wrong. Thanks for your help all.
