There’s a lot to consider when designing, printing and publishing your coloring book. The design of your pages and the quality of your paper are key components to creating a coloring book that catches and holds the attention of your audience.
Colorful books can be printed on standard printing paper or on specialty paper made specifically for coloring. You want to choose paper that enhances the vibrancy of colors, has good ink absorption and is durable enough for repeated erasing and blending. A toothy or slightly textured surface can also provide a better grip for colored pencils.
Keep in mind that higher-quality paper will cost more, but can offer a premium experience for your customers. Additionally, you’ll want to balance your paper choice with the size and page count of your coloring book. For example, a large coloring book may require larger sheets of paper to accommodate the design’s details and layout.
Another important consideration is to avoid designs that overlap two adjacent pages. This will make it difficult to create a seamless, clean appearance that makes your coloring book look professional.
Once you’ve designed your pages and found the right paper, you’ll need to decide on a binding style. This will impact how well your coloring book lies flat when opened, and it can also affect how easy it is for people to remove a page and work on it on a separate surface or easel, or to display once completed.
