Printing, plainly
Everything worth knowing before you press print.
- What paper should I use?
- Ordinary printer paper is fine for pencils and crayons. For felt-tip markers, heavier paper — 120 gsm or light card — stops the color soaking through to the next page.
- Why is my border cut off?
- Choose Fit to page in the print dialog, not Fill page. Fill crops the edges, and the hand-drawn frame is the first thing to go.
- Color or black and white?
- Black and white. The pages are pure line art, so a color cartridge is only spent on the small mouse.
- Can I print it more than once?
- As many times as you like, for your own family or your own classroom. Please do not resell the files or pass them on.
- Single or double sided?
- Single sided. Markers bleed, and a child usually wants to keep the page.
- No printer at home?
- Any print shop will do it from the PDF on a USB stick. Ask for A4 or US Letter, single sided, black and white.
