How to Print These
Paper:
For normal letters or notes, standard 20 lb copy paper works fine. If you want a more premium feel for journals or keepsake letters, we recommend 32 lb bright white paper. It holds watercolor details beautifully and prevents ink bleed.
Printer Settings:
Print at 100% scale and set the paper size to US Letter. Make sure "Fit to Page" is unchecked if you want to keep the margins exactly as designed. Set the print quality to "Best" for the richest colors.
FAQ
Can I sell these or use them for my business?
No, these are for personal use only. You can print them for yourself, your kids, your classroom, or as gifts. But you can't resell them, put them on products, or distribute the PDF.
What size paper do I need?
The PDF is formatted for US Letter size (8.5 x 11 inches). If you are outside the US and use A4 paper, it'll still work. Just turn on "Fit to Page" in your printer settings so nothing gets cut off.
Can I print these at a print shop?
Yes. Save the PDF to a USB drive or email it to yourself, and any print shop (Staples, FedEx, Office Depot) can print it. Ask for premium writing paper or cardstock. It usually costs around $0.50 to $1.00 per page.
Do I need a special printer to get these colors?
No, a standard home inkjet printer works great. Just ensure your ink levels are good and you select the correct paper type in settings.
