What can you print on a printer?

Typically, printers are used to print various documents, educational materials, literary text, and photographs. Not many people think that the device can also be used for entertainment purposes, using it to create unique things from games to unusual decorative elements.

What can you print on a printer?

If the first printer models could recognize one or two document formats, now a rare file is unsuitable for printing. However, it is most convenient to print in the following basic formats:

• pdf (especially practical when transferring from one PC to another, since regardless of software versions, a document in this format will not change);
• docx (files created by Microsoft Word);

REFERENCE! You can also print other Microsoft Office documents (presentations, tables, etc.), but they do not often coincide in external display with the dimensions of one sheet, which is why, for example, printing one wide table can occur on several pages at once.

• jpeg, bmp, png and other graphic formats (for printing photographs);
• html (web pages).

In fact, there are many more formats suitable for printing, but rarely does the average user go beyond this list.

However, the printer can be used not only for the usual printing of books, documents, articles, photographs, etc. – you can “create” a huge number of unique things on it.Users all over the world create and post similar ideas online, sometimes together with ready-made files. These printouts cover various areas of life and, as a rule, they are aimed at improving them.

Most popular ideas:

Sheets for the diary. In connection with the popularization of numerous planning systems, there has been a fashion for notebooks specific to them. Unfortunately, such diaries are produced abroad (as are the individual pages for them), so their cost is quite high. And it turns out much cheaper to print them from ready-made templates yourself. One of these popular planning systems is bullet journal.

REFERENCE! To print diary sheets, thicker sheets are required than for regular documents.

Checklists. If you constantly forget to do something during daily or monthly cleaning, or take something on a regular trip, then checklists will definitely help you in organizing. You can either create them yourself or print ready-made ones from the Internet. The publicly available templates cover a variety of topics: monthly shopping list, sea essentials, monthly cleaning chores, interesting places to visit in a specific city, and much more.

Marathons and challenges. You can’t force yourself to play sports or read more books for a long time, then this option is for you. Among the ready-made ideas, there are litas that describe how long you need to hold the bar on a particular day (or any other exercise), what task should be completed today in order to become a little better, etc.

Multi-sheet poster. The embodiment of this idea will be a wonderful home decoration.But you should select good quality images or photographs to avoid blurriness. Then such a poster can rightfully replace photo wallpaper.

Corporate style of forms for documents. Do you want your company's paper to be different from others? Decorate it with a logo or a distinctive color stripe. Then your clients/colleagues/suppliers will immediately see who the paper came from, without even reading the document itself.

REFERENCE! You should prepare such forms in advance so as not to add a logo every time you create a document.

Volumetric things. To decorate a room or as an original gift, you can print out templates of some things, and then assemble them into a three-dimensional structure, for example, a camera.

What should a girl print on a printer?

If, for example, you live in a small town where it is difficult to find anything for creativity or entertainment, and ordering online is too risky, since the goods may arrive wrinkled, then you can print many things yourself. For girls, the most relevant ideas are:

• board games (you can come up with it yourself or find a template for some popular game);
• mazes, crosswords and other various puzzles;
• paper dolls;
• scrapbooking paper;
• coloring books (including from the popular anti-stress series);
• templates for making toys (for example, squashes);
• puzzles;
• stickers;
• calendar and much more.

By printing these things yourself, you also save yourself the crazy shopping hassle when your child needs exactly what they don't currently have in stock.

Recommendations

Don’t immediately rush to print out everything you come across on the Internet.First of all, make sure that this template is of high quality (blurry outlines of coloring have never pleased anyone). If this is an image on a web page, then right-click on it and select “Find image (Google)”. This search query will help you find all available sizes of the image you are interested in.

You also need to pay close attention to the size of the printed document. This is especially true for choosing the most suitable orientation: portrait or landscape.
