In a tutorial on these comments it seems they use a fancy printer, but I just have a regular hp inkjet. Is it possible for me to get the cutouts?

The printer that they are using is a called a Silhouette --- which basically, instead of housing ink, it houses a small blade that it uses to cut out different shapes --- so without the special printer, you would end up with just sheets of gold foil -- unless of course, you could possibly buy the foil and use handheld punches that could be found at a craft store like Michaels.

Most probably. I had an inkjet when I printed them & I don't know that there's much difference between the two types of printers.

You can't. Ink is a terrible issue with this printer. The ink levels are controlled by a chip and even tho there is still ink left it won't print. The ink usage is ridiculous and the cost astronomical. I am considering chucking it and going back to a Canon or Hp. I got sucked in by it's small size.

I print from mine all the time. My HP printer is setup on Wifi instead of plugged in to a computer. I use Cloud Print to print to it. Super easy, and I can print from any device anywhere.

I print them for work, on an HP Color LaserJet. They come out pretty good, except sometimes the sheets stick together when they feed so I have to watch them carefully. I do a lot of desktop design so I can set up the labels in Adobe InDesign exactly as I want them to print on the sheet. Not all software probably gives you that option.

Sorry! It's just a cheap awful printer. It will not work more than it will. Abandon it and chop it up as HP doesn't make good printers anymore.

Rebecca, Very hearening to hear it may not be 'just me'. The real problem seems to be that there are two modes of printing in grayscale with the HP6500. 'Black ink only' is just what it implies; grayscale rendered with the black ink cartridge only - and with perfectly good grayscale quality too. The other option: 'high quality' is actually a color dependant mode that, for some obscure reason, sprays a coat of Yellow ink onto the image area, in addition to black ink. At least that is the explanation given to me by the HP Customer Care people. The real problem lies in my inability to use the 'black ink only' option AND any 'double-sided printing' option both at the same time. You may find relief in using the 'black ink only' mode by making sure the 'double-sided printing' option is set to OFF. If you are still awake after all of this, I include my recent post to all and sundry trying to get someone out there to at least confirm that this phenomenon actually exists, and not just some bizarre short-coming in my specific situation; as HP has implied for almost a week now... In short, my opinion is that it is some bug in their software. Good Luck with your problem... ------------------------------- I need to print grayscale / black ink only AND use the double-sided printing option at the same time. Both have perfect functionality when used seperately, but the 'black ink only' grayscale option automaticaly reverts to the (color dependant) 'high quality' option as soon as any double-sided printing option is invoked. Is it just me ? I trouble you with this only after nearly a week and countless e-mails with the HP Customer Care people - and many, many hours following up on all of their fruitless directions for a fix. They will not even admit to being able to duplicate this printer preference shortcoming. I thank you in advance for any assisstance. Michael Keller

I have tried to use these on mine, but they do not print correctly. I'm not sure what to do. I attempted to override the printer, but the prints are poor quality.

I haven't personally printed any, but it has the capability. I watched a youtube video and it shows you how to do it. Hope this helps.

Places like mypublisher.com would be better if they fit your budget. The result is professionally bound and presumably not subject to fading as DIY inkjet inks might be. Get on their mailing list and wait for a teaser sale if it matters. I fully agree with the previous posters in any case.

Download an updated driver from hp. But it's hit or miss. Doesn't always work.I eventually used a cable to print.

I use FinePrint and am pleased with that software. However, it does require that the hardware to which it is sending its output does support double-sided printing and in this case, the HP does not. Sorry!

Hey Sarah!Of course! You can even Google the printer settings for your printer make and model to create a perfect print

Not right in front of my machine at the moment, but I usually just press print again and then cut it, then print again and so on and so forth.. Hope that helps!

If you go online to the hp website you can download the driver for the printer just select the model printer it's easy and it will work.good luck

Of course you can make cut outs. This is just a book of blank coloring pages that are used with the color wonder markers/paint/etc. One side has a slight sheen. Good luck!

Thanks for all the feedback, everyone! Sounds like some people got lucky but that in general this printer is not the one to get if you want to print greeting cards or business cards....the search goes on! :-D
