Printing Tips for Every Age
Different ages need different approaches to get the best coloring experience
Little Ones
Ages 3-5 years
Best Printing Settings:
- • Use thicker paper (cardstock) - less likely to tear
- • Print slightly larger (110% scale) for easier coloring
- • Choose designs with thick, bold lines
- • Print multiple copies - they'll want to color again!
Why This Works:
Little hands need bigger spaces and stronger paper that won't tear when they press hard with crayons.
School Age
Ages 6-10 years
Best Printing Settings:
- • Regular copy paper works great

Ages 11+ years
Best Printing Settings:

Common Printing Questions
Answers to the questions families ask most about printing at home
What's the best paper for printing coloring pages at home?
Regular copy paper (20-24 lb) works great for most coloring tools like crayons and colored pencils. If you're using markers or want the artwork to last longer, try cardstock (60-80 lb). It's thicker and won't tear as easily, plus markers won't bleed through as much.
How can I save money on ink when printing lots of coloring pages?
Use 'Draft' or 'Fast' print mode, which uses less ink but still gives clear lines. Print in grayscale instead of color, and consider buying compatible ink cartridges which cost less than brand-name ones. You can also adjust the brightness to make lines lighter while still visible.
Why do my coloring pages sometimes get cut off when I print them?
This usually happens when the page size doesn't match your printer settings. Make sure your printer is set to the same paper size as the coloring page (usually Letter or A4). Try selecting 'Fit to Page' or 'Shrink to Fit' in your print settings to automatically adjust the size.
Can I make the coloring pages bigger or smaller when I print them?
Yes! In your print settings, look for 'Scale' or 'Zoom' options. For bigger pages, try 110-125%. For smaller pages, try 75-90%. Just remember that making them too big or small might affect the line quality, so test with one page first.
What should I do if the lines print too light or faint?
First, check if your ink cartridge is running low. If ink is fine, switch from 'Draft' to 'Normal' or 'High Quality' mode. You can also increase the contrast in your printer settings. Make sure you're printing from a PDF viewer rather than a web browser for the best quality.
Is it better to print from my phone or computer?
Printing from a computer usually gives better results because you have more control over print settings. If you must print from your phone, save the coloring page as a PDF first, then print from your phone's PDF app rather than directly from a web browser.
