Print Layout Options

1 Puzzle Per Page (Standard)

The classic format with one large, easy-to-read puzzle per sheet. Perfect for:

• Seniors who prefer larger grids and numbers

Grid Size Options

Medium Grid (320x320px): The default size works great for most printing scenarios. Numbers are clear and readable without being oversized.

Large Grid (540x540px): Extra-large format for maximum readability. Recommended for seniors, vision-impaired solvers, or anyone who prefers bigger, bolder numbers.

Solution Placement Options

No Solutions

Print puzzles only without answer keys. Great for competitive settings, timed challenges, or when you want to discover solutions yourself.

Solutions on Same Page

Each puzzle appears with its solution directly below on the same sheet. Perfect for self-checking, learning solving techniques, or classroom teaching.

Solutions on Separate Page

All puzzles print first, followed by all solutions on separate pages. The traditional puzzle book format that prevents accidental spoilers while solving.

Tips for Best Printing Results

• Use Black and White: Sudoku puzzles print beautifully in grayscale, saving expensive color ink
• Choose Quality Paper: 20-24 lb paper prevents ink bleed-through and feels more substantial
• Adjust Printer Settings: Select "Fit to Page" to ensure grids don't get cut off at margins
• Save as PDF: Create digital archives of your favorite puzzle sets before printing
• Test One Page: Print a single test page to verify quality before printing large batches
• Consider Duplex: Print puzzles on one side, solutions on the back to save paper
