Prepare coloring medium

Feed 65lb to 80lb cover stock through your rear tray. Smooth vellum finishes prevent pigment bleed while preserving crisp contour edges under colored pencil.

Set printer software scaling to 100% borderless letter sizing. This ensures the lower annotation cards maintain exact library dimensions.

Choose wax-core pencils or pigment fineliners for dry work. For gouache or diluted ink washes, verify your stock accepts light moisture without curling.
