Coloring a print-out

I just read about printing coloringbooks here.

Heres a tip. (Only for inkjet printers)
If you go coloring a print-out with a felt pen, the black ink lines from the printed ink can bleed into your color and into the tip of your feltpen.

Many times it helps - just like with printed newspaper - to iron (no steam) that paper print from your printer before you start coloring.
The hot temperature of your iron helps the ink to fixate onto the paper.

This doesnt work for laserprinters as that prints with toner and not with ink.
Should you want to fixate that extra (many times no need to do that), then you can use an iron but you have to put an extra protective (paper) layer over your printout.
Otherwise the toner sticks to the surface of your iron :lol

:D Have a lot of coloring fun!
