I used this product to make "save the date" magnets for my wedding. I used Microsoft Word 2007, brought up the corresponding template within Word, and stuck in the images I wanted. I printed out a "test run" on ordinary paper and then lined it up with the magnetic business card sheet to make sure they would come out right. The test run went fine, so I printed the left half of one of the magnetic sheets. Unfortunately, each consecutive image was just a little bit more off from its respective business card than the previous one. The last magnet's image on the page ended up being about 2 millimeters too high, which meant the words at the top of it were cut off/had run over into the previous magnet, and there was a horizontal white bar at the bottom.
I suspect that this problem is the result of the magnetic sheet not being flat (the edges of each of the magnetic cards are curled up slightly), causing it to feed into the printer badly. I came to this conclusion because my test run on regular paper came out lined up right.
Only purchase this product if you're willing to take the time and make your own template (not to mention, waste multiple magnet sheets in test runs)!
