How to Print These Sheets

Every sheet on this site is a PDF built as a real A4 page. Most of the time you can open it and press print. These are the four settings that change how it comes out, in the order they matter.

1. Scaling: set it to 100 percent, not Fit to page

This is the one that ruins sheets. Print dialogs default to "Fit to page" or "Shrink oversized pages", which quietly reduces everything by a few percent to clear the printer's own unprintable border. On a maze that turns crisp walls into fuzzy grey. Choose "Actual size" or "100%" instead. Every sheet here is already drawn with a 15mm margin, so nothing needs shrinking.

2. Paper: A4 and Letter both work

The pages are A4. Letter paper is slightly wider and slightly shorter, and because of that 15mm margin the puzzle fits on Letter without cropping. If your printer complains about a size mismatch, tell it to print anyway.

3. Ink: black and white is enough

Mazes, sudoku and dot to dot are pure black line work, so greyscale or "black ink only" prints them perfectly and costs you nothing in colour. The exception is colour by number, where the key needs its colours to be readable. Draft quality is fine for all of them: the lines are drawn heavy enough on purpose.

4. Two sheets on one page

If you want to save paper, use your print dialog's "2 pages per sheet" option rather than shrinking the PDF yourself. It keeps the proportions and both puzzles stay square.

The answer pages

Where a puzzle has one, the answer is a separate file, so you can print the puzzle for a child without handing over the solution in the same stack. Mazes, sudoku and colour by number all have one. Dot to dot does not, because the finished picture is the puzzle.
