WHAT IS IT?
A Midori personal sized insert TEMPLATE that you can DIY at home and then print at home. If you've wanted to make your own custom DIY printable inserts but have had trouble getting the sizing right in your program then use this as a base! Just import the PDF file into your software and size it to fill the full page (make sure you're using A4 or Letter size and have imported the correct template).
HOW TO DIY IT?
You can import this into a Word document (or any other editor) and use the guides to position your inserts. Place all your design elements exactly how you want them to appear (keeping within the space) then copy the entire page to page 2. That way you can print double sided for as many pieces of paper as you want. Remember to print at actual (100%) size, double-sided, flip on short edge. Once printed fold the paper in half to make a booklet, using the lines as a guide. Then trim the booklet using the guidelines. Cover with cardstock to make your insert more rigid. You can also staple or stitch the fold if you wish but it isn't always necessary! Note: if you want a thinner or thicker insert just print more or fewer pages.
A4 OR LETTER SIZE?
Either! This item has both print on A4 and print on Letter options.
WHAT PAPER DO I NEED?
Use paper which you will feel good about quality-wise. I just use normal printer paper but you might want to purchase archival quality paper or artist paper if your journal needs to remain in pristine condition, or if you plan to use heavy inks. You might also want to source cardstock or scrapbook paper to make a cover for the insert.
WHAT ELSE DO I NEED?
A printer which can handle the paper you've selected, that can print double sided, and can print at a decent quality finish. You'll also need scissors or a craft knife and ruler to trim the booklet.

DISCLAIMER:
Our digital download products are designed at 300 dots (pixels) per inch which is the industry standard for clear printing. However if your printer isn't that precise the image may appear differently. If you have an old printer and the files don't print out well then we suggest sending the files to your local printer - it's often cheaper than you might think!
