Start with one test sheet. Our colouring PDFs are A4 documents containing raster line art; your printer's paper size and printable margins determine whether a border gets clipped.
On this page
21 pages: a cover and 20 character sheets. Preview the normal set or preview the separate horror set.
Choose the paper size and scale
| Paper loaded | Print-dialog setting | Check before printing |
|---|---|---|
| A4 (210 × 297 mm) | A4; preview at Actual size / 100% | All four borders and the footer fit. If anything is clipped, use Fit to printable area. |
| US Letter (216 × 279 mm) | Letter; Fit to printable area | The whole A4 page fits on the shorter paper. The drawing will be slightly smaller. |
Setting names vary by browser and printer. Match the paper loaded in the tray, then use the preview. Do not assume the previous job's settings still fit. We have checked the PDF renders; a physical test print on your printer is still needed.
Print one character or the whole book
Page 1 is the cover. Pages 2–21 are the character sheets in both sets. Enter a page number in the print dialog, or use 2–21 for every character without the cover.

| 3 | Brud | 13 | Oren |

Paper and ink
Plain paper is a useful starting point for pencils and crayons. For markers, place scrap paper underneath and try heavier paper if your printer supports it. Check the printer's supported paper weights before loading thick stock. Ink and toner behave differently, so do not assume the printed lines are waterproof.
Select black-and-white or greyscale and normal quality. If draft mode makes lines too faint, return to normal or high quality. Check a single page before printing twenty copies.
Two pages per sheet and larger drawings
Choose Multiple / Pages per sheet = 2, then compare portrait and landscape previews and keep the layout that gives two complete drawings. The resulting sheets are smaller. For A3 enlargement, expect softer lines: these are raster images, not infinitely scalable vectors.
If the print looks wrong
- Cropped footer or edge: match the loaded paper size and use Fit to printable area.
- Grey or missing lines: check quality settings and the printer's ink or toner status. Use its documented maintenance steps if the test print remains uneven.
- Smearing: let ink dry, check paper compatibility and consult the printer's cleaning instructions.
- Marker bleed: put scrap paper underneath and test the marker on an unused corner.
Keep a copy and open the right file
The download button opens a PDF, not a picture of the article. Save that PDF if you want to use it again offline. In a browser preview, look for the document's download control. Check the filename: coloring-pages-characters.pdf is the normal set; coloring-pages-horror.pdf is the separate horror set. Keeping their names intact helps another adult choose the intended file later.
Open the saved document and check its page count before printing. You should see 21 pages. If your preview instead shows the website navigation, comments or an advertisement, you are printing the article rather than the PDF. Return to the download link and open the document itself.
Check the preview before sending the job
Choose your physical printer as the destination. A destination called Save as PDF creates another file and does not send paper through the printer. Set the number of copies to one while testing, select the character's page number, and check the preview for that page. Make sure the character name and footer are both visible.
For a colouring activity, select single-sided printing unless you intentionally want a drawing on both sides. Heavy pencil work and markers can show through thin paper. If you choose two pages per sheet, check that the selected page range includes the two characters you want; selecting one page and two copies is a different setting.
On a phone or tablet, the PDF viewer may hand printing to the device's system print panel. If it does not offer page selection or scaling, save the original file and open it in a PDF viewer or on a computer that exposes those controls. Avoid screenshotting the preview as a workaround: that reduces resolution and can add browser controls to the print.
Once the test page is readable and complete, reuse the same settings for the remaining characters. Keep the first print nearby as a reference if paper, ink or printer settings change.
Choosing sheets for a group
Preview the normal set first and let each person choose a character. Keep the horror set separate: its injury imagery and distorted faces need an adult's judgement. The parent guide explains how to check the content a child is actually seeing.
