Button sheet maker

Lay one image out as a printable page of circles for the button maker. Your image never leaves this computer: nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored, and the page prints from your own printer.

New to the machine? Find the button maker under equipment and read its SOP first. Short version: keep anything that matters well inside the circle, because the outer ring of paper wraps around the rim and is not visible on the finished button.
