Printing Tips for Free Color by Number Pages

All our free pages are US Letter PDFs (8.5×11 in) that also print well on A4. A few settings make a real difference.

Printer settings

Choose Fit to page or Scale to fit so nothing is cut off on A4.
Print in black and white for the puzzle page. Only the answer page (page 2) uses color, and you can skip printing it.
Use the normal or high quality setting so the small codes stay sharp.

Regular printer paper works for pencils and most water-based markers.
Heavier paper or light cardstock is best for alcohol markers and for pages you want to frame.
Always slip a spare sheet under the page when you use markers.

Coloring the same picture twice with a different palette is surprisingly fun, and it is great for coloring together with family.

Download the PDF to your phone and print it at a copy shop or library. Ask for black and white, single sided.
