How to print coloring pages

Use this quick guide to get cleaner printable results, avoid cut-off edges, and make coloring pages easier for kids to use right away.

Best print settings

  1. Choose PDF when you want the cleanest home print result.
  2. Use plain A4 or US Letter paper.
  3. Keep scale at 100% unless your printer suggests otherwise.
  4. Use portrait mode for most single-page coloring sheets.
  5. Print in black-and-white or grayscale to keep outlines crisp.

Quick troubleshooting

  • If the page is cut off, check paper size first.
  • If the lines look faint, try a higher quality print setting.
  • If the page looks too small, disable “fit to printable area” and test again.
  • If markers bleed through, use thicker paper or print one-sided only.
