Using Our Coloring Pages
What kind of paper should I use to print my coloring pages?
You can use any printer paper you like. However, if you're looking for recommendations for different mediums, here is what we suggest.
For crayons and washable markers, use any paper.
For colored pencils, we recommend a 32 lb paper.
For alcohol markers, we recommend an 60 lb cover stock.
Check your printer for compatibility when purchasing paper at different weights.

What size are your coloring pages?

Are your coloring pages for kids or adults?
Both!
