Getting Started
Image
To start of working with MPRO Builder, you need to choose the size of the button you want to make. Select it in the top left corner.
We'll demonstrate the process using the Square 2 x 2" magnet as an example.
After choosing the size, you need to add your image. Click the "Image" button.
After clicking, a layer with the image will appear on the left side of the screen, in the "Layers" field.
Click the "Browse" button on this layer to select the image you need.
When you add the image, it will be resized to fit the width of the magnet, but you can stretch and move it as needed.
Text
Click the "Text" button on the left side of the screen to add a text layer to your image.
Then click "Show text settings" to change the text and its formatting.
Move the text layer to the desired location on the image.
Print
Once you are happy with your design, click the "Save Image to Print List" button at the top of the screen.
- Select the paper size supported by your printer.
- Choose the cutting format: Punch or Die Cutting.
- Increase the number of images on the sheet if needed. MPRO Editor does not allow saving more than one sheet, so the maximum number of images per sheet is limited.
- Then, enter the project name and click the "Save to Print" button at the top of the screen.
Advanced Features
BG Fill
If you want the image to appear only on the front of the button and leave the back empty but not white, you can use this function to fill the magnet's edges with any other color.
There are many fill variations—inside, from the edge, and different fill areas. You can try all the variations and choose what you need.
Show Border
This function adds black borders around the edges of the template. The border helps with cutting out the image and also makes the outline visible on light images.
Show Image Area
Adds a red dashed line. It shows the part of the image that will be visible on the front of the final magnet. It won't be shown on the final print sheet and will not be printed.
Add Tag Text
Displays fields with blue borders for adding text that will appear on the backside of the final magnet. These lines won't be shown on the final print sheet. The lines show the space where you can place your text.
Print Image Area
This function lets you choose the area of the template where the main image will be; the rest of the area will be empty. It’s useful for ensuring that the image on the button is within specific boundaries.
- Full - The entire editable area will be used in the template.
- Image Area Only - The template will show only the front of the button. When buttons are pressed, white background can be seend on the final product.
-
Recommended: Image Area Including Bleeding Area - The template will show the front of the magnet + bleed areas.
Layer Order Buttons
- Up Arrow - Moves the layer up relative to layers below it in the list.
- Down Arrow - Moves the layer down relative to layers above it in the list.
Creating a Print Sheet
When you click the "Save Image to Print List" button at the top of the screen, your image is added to the final template sheet.
At this stage, you have the following settings available:

Show Cut Lines
These lines are used to cut the sheet into strips. This is useful if you are working with a Graphic Punch.

Allows you to create and add another image to the Print Page. After adding the new image, click "Save Image to Print List" to include it on the print sheet.
Edit Button
Lets you edit the image. Click "Save" at the top of the page when you are done with editing.
