Hi from Kevin at FreePrintable.net, where a busy printer is a happy printer.

We've reached a major milestone! The nearly 80 FreePrintable.net sites now offer a combined 20,000 printables. Wow! Actually, the number is 20,099, but that's sure to change in a few days when I add even more free and low-cost forms, letters, cards, kids' stuff, and more for you to download and print. In that 20,000 figure, I'm not even counting multiple versions of the same thing (PDF, DOC, etc.). Thank you for helping make it possible for me to offer all these printables for home and business. I truly rely on your support and ideas, and I'll never stop adding printables!

Recently, one of the printables sites caught the attention of All You magazine, which has a circulation of more than 1 million readers. www.FreePrintableStationery.net was featured in the May 2011 article, "Grab 25 Fabulous Freebies." Pretty cool! They also mentioned FreePrintable.net sister site/service FaxZero.com.



» New Printable Paper
There's a bunch of new stuff at www.PrintablePaper.net, including a new category: printable postcards. These illustrated designs are in full color, and are great for announcing a move, a marriage, or an upcoming event. You can also download both horizontal and vertical postcard backs, preformatted with spots for a postage stamp and the recipient's address. Just print one side, put the paper back into your printer (oriented to print on the reverse side), and print again. The postcards print and mail best on cardstock. They're all free as PDFs. The postcard backs are available as either a free PDF or a $4 customizable DOC file, which is perfect if you'd like to type addresses and messages directly onto your postcard before printing - a huge time saver for weddings, home and office address changes, and other occasions.

There are new charts for home and business, such as a mileage calculator and a yearly budget planner. I've also added Wulff net paper, which is graph paper of a sphere projected onto a plane.



» New Banner Features

PrintableBanners.net is getting increasingly popular, especially since I made the custom banner maker free a couple of months ago. I've added even more features to the site, including more colors to choose from and even more characters supported.

Now, you can have your free custom banner letters in: black, red, green, blue, orange, purple, magenta, cyan, or brown. Pick from three fonts, and filled or outline text. Plus, the banner maker now handles special characters such as ë and ñ. So happy birthday Niña and Zoë!

Of course, you can still choose from dozens of other premade banners, for birthdays, holidays, and other celebrations as well as business banners such as "Sale" and "Grand Opening." The banners are PDF files and print out on standard letter paper.

Thanks for sending me your ideas for new printables. I'm working on new sites, as well as additions to existing sites, and plan to really ramp things up as we head into summer. Please write and tell me what printables you need. Happy printing!

Printables are not only useful for home and business, but for nonprofits as well. Veronica M. recently wrote: "Just wanted to say thank you for all the free printable information. The Character Reference Letters are going to help us immensely. We are a nonprofit organization that trains people to become public safety officers. We provide job placement assistance once they graduate -- that's where these character reference templates come in to play. Thanks again for your services."

My friend Steve has a great gift for you and your mom this Mother's Day: MacHelpForMom.com. His easy-to-follow, bite-sized videos will help your mom learn how to better use her Mac computer. That means more quality time for you with Mom, instead of sitting at her computer teaching her (again) how to cut-and-paste.

Be sure to sign up for Steve's free weekly email newsletter so you and Mom know about his latest videos, selected comments from other moms, reviews of helpful resources and other interesting stuff.
