Hey etsy!

You gave us a "printer friendly" order details sheet.

how about breaking it down so it prints on ONE PAGE? Mine prints out in two pages.

My suggestion... omit the seller's message and just include the buyers, so they see their request on the printout.

Oh and alter the layout a bit so it's more condensed.

Great idea - I found that it's too long, also.

A temporary solution, (if your printer allows) when you go to print, adjust the size to 75% and it will fit on one page. I do this with my HP printer....
Click on "preferences"
then "advanced" and then adjust the scaling to 75%.
It's a bandaid, but I agree with you 100% that the reciept printout could be tweeked a bit.

I'd prefer etsy design something right than having yet another goddamned work around.

I refuse to reset my printer and mess up my custom settings, ruin future print projects when I forget to change it back na dhaving to reprint it again, and waste even more materials and ink, all to cover their failure get off their lazy asses and do some QA work.

If they could just once design something right the first time I'd have a farking heart attack.

Good plan. I don't use packing slips ever.. it just seems wasteful and no one has ever complained. I always write a little note tho. on scrap paper.
