Printing Tips and Recommendations

Choose the Right Paper

For the best coloring experience, we recommend printing Harmony Palettes on smooth heavyweight paper or cardstock

Thicker paper helps reduce bleed-through and keeps colors vibrant and crisp - especially when using alcohol markers like Ohuhu Markers

Recommended:
❀ 80-130lb cardstock
❀ Smooth or stain finish paper
❀ Bright white paper for truest color appearance

Use High Quality Print Settings

For sharp lines and the clearest swatches, make sure your printer settings are set to:

❀ High Quality or Best Quality
❀ Actual Size / 100% Scale
❀ Portrait Orientation

Some printers automatically resize pages or lower print quality, so double check your settings before printing

Every Printer is Different

Printed colors may vary slightly depending on:

❀ Printer type
❀ Ink levels
❀ Paper choice
❀ Screen brightness and display settings

Harmony Palettes are designed to work as creative coloring guides and references, but exact color matching cannot be guaranteed across all printers and devices
