Printing tips
Each download is a single-page PDF. Print at 100% scale on US Letter or A4 paper. For markers, use heavier paper (24 lb or 90 gsm and up) so the ink does not bleed through. Pages are free for personal and classroom use.
- Turn off "fit to page" in the print dialog so the line weight stays true.
- Choose black and white or grayscale to save color ink on long sessions.
- Teachers can print as many copies as a class needs, no credit required.
