Remove Extra Print on family file cards when printing

PLEASE take off all the extra writing (the directions that say “Print”, “Prepare” and “Perform”) on the pages when we print the family file name cards. 

If you would take it off I could use that same paper for several cards. 

If you just included the directions somewhere else, and not make it actually print on the sheet it would be soooooo much better.

Now that we have to reprint all of the cards for every ordinance it takes so much more paper.

    If there is room on that other half of the page to print more cards, you should be able to print half your cards, turn the paper over and rotate it, and run the sheets through the printer again. It shouldn't matter if there is printing on the back of the cards.

    I'll take back my comment. The area where that extra printing is is not nearly as wide as the cards. You cannot turn the paper over and print more cards because the cards on either side would overlap.

    The temple cards are 3⅛ inches by 4⅞ inches (80 mm by 123 mm). So there's certainly no room to print two columns of cards on a 8½ x 11 inch page (4⅞ is more than half of 8½). The only way to squeeze one more card onto a single sheet would be to print them on a landscape piece of paper in a 2x2 grid. But that would make it much harder to provide the instructions in the remaining space. I imagine that the decision makers for this question decided that the most important factors are the simplicity of printing in portrait orientation and having clear, easily readable instructions. That's more valuable than squeezing 4 cards instead of 3 onto a page.
