Hi Paavnet,

I think this could achieve what you might need:

    \definepapersize[tblcard][width=4in,height=3in]

    \setuppapersize[tblcard][letter,portrait]
    \setuparranging[2TOP]

    \setuplayout[
        height=3in,
        width=4in,
        topspace=0in,
        header=0in,
        bottomspace=0in,
        footer=0in,
        backspace=0.0in,
        %%
        location=middle,
        marking=on,
    ]

    \startbuffer[tblcard]
        \startframedtext
            [frame=off, width=\textwidth, height=\textheight,
              align={lohi, middle}]
            \tfd A Name
        \stopframedtext
    \stopbuffer

    \starttext
        %~ \showframe
        \rotate[rotation=180]{\getbuffer[tblcard]}
        \page
        \getbuffer[tblcard]
    \stoptext

I hope it goes on time ;-),

Pablo
