Printing Guide for Coloring Pages

Thank you for downloading our free Calm Creations coloring pages! Below is a simple guide to help you print them at home for the best coloring experience.

📄 File Format

All of our coloring pages are delivered as standard PDF files — compatible with all printers and easy to open on any device.

🧾 Recommended Paper

For the best results, we recommend:

  • Paper Size: US Letter (8.5" x 11") – standard printer paper

  • Paper Type: White, uncoated paper

  • Weight: 24–32 lb (90–120 gsm)
    Thicker paper helps prevent bleed-through from markers or pens.

Pro tip: If you love using markers, try cardstock (65 lb+) for a sturdier surface.

⚙️ Printer Settings

Before hitting "Print", check these settings:

  • Page Size: Actual Size (NOT “Fit to Page”)

  • Orientation: Portrait

  • Color: Black & White (our pages are line art)

  • Quality: High (if available)

  • Paper Type: Plain Paper or Cardstock (if applicable)

🖍️ What to Use for Coloring

Our pages are designed to be used with:

  • Colored pencils

  • Crayons

  • Gel pens

  • Markers (on thicker paper or with a backing sheet)

🧼 Tip for Little Artists

If printing for kids, consider printing extra copies! That way, they can explore with different colors and techniques.
