paper for coloring book

kspar — Fri, 01 Jul 2016 02:50:36 GMT

Hello All,

I'm new to the forum but I'm sure someone out there has this answer. What kind of printing paper should I use to print a coloring book page. My Grandmother is housebound and she has recently gotten into coloring books for adults. There are some beautiful pages online but I need to know what will hold the print the best and allow her to color on the page as well. This may seem simple but it is very important to me.

I would recommend Canon Matte Photo Paper.

Hello jrhoffman75,

Thanks so much for your help. May I ask, why this particular type?

Matte surface - easy to colr on compared to glossy surfaces.

Heavier that standard printer paper - easier to handle; less likely to tear.

I'm assuming that you have tried standard printer paper and aren't happy with the results.

Ah...I see. I find that if I educate myself on the reasons why, then that knowledge helps me with other projects. Thank you, again.
