Print tips for animal coloring pages
If your printouts look cropped or too small, it usually comes down to paper size and scaling. These settings fix most problems.
- Use "Fit to printable area" for A4 paper. Our PDFs are generated on US Letter size (8.5 x 11 inches).
- Turn off "Headers and footers" in your browser print dialog if it adds unwanted text.
- If the page prints gray, switch the printer setting to "Black and white" or "Grayscale".
- For classrooms, print one master, then copy. It keeps lines crisp and saves ink.
