Printing Your My Book Log
- Sometimes readers are concerned about using colored ink. If this is the case for you, there should be a setting on your printer that allows you to print in black and white. Printing in grayscale will still use some color, but it will come out prettier than black and white.
- Print the My Book Log duplexed (double-sided) and have them flip on the long side.
- I recommend printing the My Book Log on white cardstock so the pages will be more durable with no bleed-through.
