In the latest in a series of upgrades to the best web based bingo board printing website on the web, print-bingo.com, we’ve added a one card per page option.
It’s funny how the website developed. It all started when I needed to “run” the after dinner bingo entertainment at a small fund raising event (the bingo was free, the dinner tickets raised the funds). For that, I needed basic numeric cards in an economical four bingo boards per page – the measurements have never changed since that original bit of code.
Later, when the site got modestly popular, we added the custom word list feature. Since longer phrases take more space, the larger 2 bingo cards per page option was born.
Now, the arguably long overdue one bingo card per page option has finally been added.
It’s a bit different from the other sizes. I’ve had users suggest using exactly square cells (which we’ve done), and to leave some space for their custom instructions or company letterhead (which we’ve also done).
For now, users wanting to do fancy letterhead or instructions will have to run their cards through the printer twice – I guess there’ll always something on the to-do list.
An outsider might think that the card sizes were added in the exact wrong order, but, as is often the case, there’s a story behind the situation.
