Home Printing Tips

  1. Open the File in a PDF Reader for Best Results

  • Recommended: Free Adobe Acrobat Reader (Windows & Mac)

  • If you don’t have it, you can download it here: get.adobe.com/reader

2. Printer Settings

  • In Adobe Acrobat Reader:

  • Go to File → Print

  • Under Page Sizing & Handling, select Actual Size or 100%

  • Set Print Quality to High (if available) and print

Paper Recommendation

  • Best for Vibrant Color: Smooth or semi-gloss cardstock (80–100 lb / 200–270 gsm)

  • For an Elegant Look: Lightly textured cardstock (like linen or subtle watercolor)

  • Avoid: Very rough paper or thin copy paper (ink can smudge or look dull)

Pro Tip: Print one test page first to see how the paper handles the ink before printing all your copies.

Printing at a Print Shop

You can also print at a local shop or use an online service if you don’t have a high-quality color printer at home.

Tip: Make sure to request printing at the original size (100%) so your designs don’t get resized.
