How to add a Print Template

Edited

Brief Overview

Print Templates allow you to send a My Design product directly to a printer or output folder from within a job. Once your My Design product is created, you can attach it as a Print Template inside the job settings and use it when printing individual subjects.
Print Templates are a great way to send proof flyers to a folder, test product designs before attaching them to price sheets, or print school service items like ID Cards.
