Printing

• Print at “Actual size / 100%” in your print dialog. Print in landscape.
• US Letter and A4 files are both included. Use the one that matches your paper.
• Plain paper works for crayons. Use thicker paper (120 gsm or more) for markers, and cardstock (180–250 gsm / 65–90 lb cover) for the place cards and leaves.
• The pages have white backgrounds and use little ink, and the coloring scenes are black-and-white friendly. There is no separate black-and-white file, but you can choose grayscale in your printer dialog; colors will print as gray.
