Printing Tips
Best Paper Types
Cardstock
- Durability: Cardstock is thick and sturdy, making it ideal for games that will be handled frequently. It’s perfect for party activities where guests might be rough with the papers.
- Professional Look: Provides a high-quality, professional appearance for your word scrambles.
Standard Printer Paper
- Convenience: Great for quick prints and easy handling, suitable for most home printers. It’s economical and readily available.
- Flexibility: Works well for single-use games or if you need to print in bulk for larger parties.
Colored Paper
- Fun Twist: Add a fun twist by printing the word scrambles on colored paper that matches the party theme. This can make the activity more engaging for participants.
- Easy Identification: Helps to easily distinguish the word scrambles from other party activities or papers.
Printer Settings
High Resolution
- Sharp Prints: Set your printer to its highest resolution for clear and crisp prints. This ensures that the text is legible and the design elements are sharp.
- Detailed Graphics: Important for detailed graphics and decorative elements to look their best.
Black and White
- Ink Savings: Use black and white settings to save on color ink, especially if you’re printing a large number of word scrambles. This is cost-effective and practical.
- Clarity: Ensure the text remains clear and easy to read even in black and white.
Print Preview
- Layout Check: Always check the print preview to ensure the layout and design are correct before printing. This helps to catch any mistakes or adjustments needed.
- Alignment: Verify that all elements are properly aligned and the text is not cut off at the edges.
Additional Tips
Bulk Printing
- Batch Printing: If printing for a large group, print in batches to avoid printer jams and to manage your paper and ink usage efficiently.
- Double-Sided: If you want to save paper, consider printing on both sides, especially if the second side can be used for the answer key or additional notes.
Finishing Touches
- Cutting: If you’ve included decorative borders, make sure to use a paper cutter for straight edges and a clean finish.
- Binding: For a professional look, consider binding the word scrambles into booklets if they are part of a larger activity pack.
