Printing tips

  • Print at 100% or "Actual size" so nothing gets cut off.
  • Choose A4 in Europe, Asia and Australia, and US Letter in the US and Canada.
  • Slightly heavier paper (100–120 gsm or 27–32 lb) feels lovely and stops ink showing through.
  • Print only the pages you need, and reprint your favorites as often as you like.
  • Save the PDF in a folder on your computer, so a fresh copy is always ready for next month.
  • For the digital PDF, open it in your favorite PDF annotation app and tap the tabs to jump between sections.
