Printing Tips
- Orientation: Use portrait for 1–2 puzzles per page. Switch to landscape for 4 or more.
- Scale: Always print at 100% - "fit to page" distorts grid proportions and makes numbers hard to read.
- Background graphics: Enable in print settings for sharp grid borders. Disable if ink-saving is a priority.
- Paper size: A4 or US Letter both work well. A3 is excellent for classroom wall displays.
- Pen vs pencil: Print on regular paper if using pencil (for erasing). Thicker paper works better with ink pens.
- Multiple copies: Generate 9 puzzles and cut the sheet into individual cards for group activities or take-away gifts.
