Printing A4 and Letter

A4 or Letter?

Our digital books come in two sizes. A4 (8.27 × 11.69 in) is the standard in Brazil and Europe. Letter (8.5 × 11 in) is the standard in the United States and Canada. Download the one that matches your paper.

Print settings

• Scale: choose "Actual size" or 100%. Avoid "Fit to page", which shrinks the art and the margins.
• Paper size: the same as the file (A4 or Letter). If it does not match, the program may crop the edge.
• Orientation: leave it automatic unless the book has landscape pages.
• Quality: use "Normal" or "High" for coloring pages. Draft mode makes the lines faint.
• Color: coloring books look fine in black and white. Illustrated books look better in color.

Paper and materials

• Colored pencils and crayons work well on regular printer paper.
• Markers and watercolor need thicker paper to avoid bleeding through. On regular paper, print on one side only.
• For a longer-lasting book, use heavier paper and a sturdier cover sheet.

Printing only some pages

In the print dialog, choose "Pages" and type the range (for example 3-8 or 1,4,9). You print only what you will use and save ink and paper.

Putting the book together

For a binder or notebook, use a hole punch and rings, a spiral or staples. If you print on both sides, check that the printer flips on the long edge. Want it ready-made? When available, the printed edition is sold on Amazon and the link is on the product page.

Something went wrong?

If a page came out cropped or at the wrong size, it is almost always the scale or the paper size. If the problem persists, write to creative@pixelcorp.space with the book title and a photo of the printed sheet.
