Printing tips
How to print these Christmas Tree Coloring Pages
Four quick checks that turn an OK print into a great one.
01
Select the Right Paper Weight
For standard colored pencils or crayons, everyday 20 lb printer paper works well. However, if you plan to use watercolors, alcohol markers, or liquid glue for glitter and sequins, print your Christmas tree coloring sheet onto heavy cardstock (65 lb to 80 lb) to prevent warping and ink bleed-through.
02
Adjust Printer Sizing and Scale
To keep borders intact and prevent top stars or bottom present piles from being cut off, choose 'Fit to Page' or 'Scale to 100%' in your printer dialog box before sending your page to print.
03
Opt for High-Resolution Printing
Select 'Fine' or 'High Quality' print output rather than draft mode. This ensures the pine needle textures, intricate tinsel lines, and delicate hanging ornaments print with crisp, solid black contours that guide steady coloring.
