Printing

• Print at “Actual size / 100%” in your print dialog.
• US Letter and A4 files are both included. Use the one that matches your paper.
• Use cardstock (180–250 gsm / 65–90 lb cover) for the labels, key and tickets. Plain paper works for the activity pages.
• Type the names before you print: open the PDF on a computer in the free Adobe Acrobat Reader. You can also write by hand.
• There is no separate black-and-white file. To save ink, you can choose grayscale in your printer dialog; colors will print as gray.
