Free Beautiful Colouring Page

I am going to admit that I am not the best colourer (is that even a word?) out there, I know nothing about shading and what colours go where, but that is by the by as I find it really relaxing.

I print off a lot of colouring pages. Not just for me, but also the boys and their friends too. For the last 2 months, I have been testing the Epson ET-4550 an inject printer that purports to not need an ink refill for a year.

Firstly I am going to say that this is not a HOME printer. It is a small office printer. It does a fabulous job of printing and the quality if great. The only niggle I have is that is doesn’t print boardless 6 by 4 photo prints.

Overview of the Epsom EcoTank ET-4550

The Epsom ET-4550 is a brilliant printer for anyone who does a lot of printing or a small office as it produces great prints at an exceptional cost per print.

What I like:

You can print on card and paper.
The printer has a feed, which is ace for photocopying and scanning multiple pages.
You should only need to buy ink every two years or 11,000 pages.
When you do run out of ink, new ink will about cost 0.49p per page (other printer inks cost about six times that).
3 year extended warranty.
WiFi Printing and scanning.

What I am not keen on:

The fact that you can not printer boardless photo printing is a game changer for me in a home capacity.

Setting up the Epsom EcoTank ET-4550

The difference between this printer and others is that it doesn’t have cartridges instead it has ink tanks and the ink comes in eight bottles, with two for each color. The rated yield of 11,000 monochrome or 8,500 color pages is based on using all eight bottles.

It was pretty simple to fill and set up, but it is time-consuming filling the bottles. However, in the two months, I have been using it I can not see any reduction in ink (it has little windows for you to see the levels though).

Conclusion

If you are looking for an inexpensive print option then the Epson ET-4550 is for you. If is perfect for printing colouring pages cheaply and on to really great quality paper too.

Colouring Supplies:

I am often asked what products I use and I am a big advocate of using the best supplies you can afford. It is really frustrating to use pencils that keep snapping or refuse to blend well, oh and don’t get me started on pens that bleed through the paper. I always buy the best quality I can afford, not just for me but for my kids too. I want colouring to be a joyful experience. These are mine and the

These are mine and the MiniMad’s suggestions to you. Our tried and tested favourites. When I first started colouring I just pinched the boy’s products, which is why adult colouring is so accessible and over the period of a year I now have my own supplies!

Pens

We are currently loving using Staedtler Triplus colour pens (UK Link/US Link) – they do not bleed through the paper, which is great for adults and kids and they are really bright. Plus you can get different nib sizes (UK LInk/US Link), my niece has the 3mm nib ones (I bought her them for Christmas and she adores them). I also love the way they stand up in the packaging, so you can see the colours.

For a more inexpensive pen, we like the BIC kids coloring pens. These are great with minimal bleed through the paper and last for ages if you forget to put the lid back on (yes I am guilty of this)! (UK Link/US Link).

Pencils

Again we have two distinct favourites. One high quality and the other medium. Staedtler Ergosoft pencils are great value. They are soft and blendable and last really well. These are our go to pencils for pretty much everything (UK Link/US Link), they are not paying me to say this – honest! These are the pencils that the boys use for all their work and colouring too.

If money was no object then it would be Prismacolor pencils. I was introduced to these by the amazing illustrator Jennie Maizels (go check out her sketchbook club, you can thank me later). They are blendable, fantastic colours, durable and everything you could need, but are at the top of the price range. (UK Link/US Link)

Paper

As you are printing off these pages you can control the quality of the paper and unlike colouring books that you buy, you can print one sided (whoop). I print a lot of my pages on standard copier paper and if you have good quality art supplies then that is fine, however, if you are planning on framing or keeping your artwork then it would be better to print on a higher quality of paper. Or if you plan on painting them, then you can print onto inkjet watercolour paper (UK Link/US Link). For standard colouring get some bleed proof paper and use it to print off your pages (UK Link/US Link).

Accessories

You need to have a good quality pencil sharpener for your pencils. I LOVE my standard office supplies one. It can be adjusted to sharpen to a killer point or to a more blunt edge and there is something therapeutic about the crank handle and all the shavings being collected (UK Link/US Link)! We use a Staedtler pencil sharpener for our on the go one and this is the one we keep in pencil cases (UK Link/US Link).The other must have for me is a clipboard. I am often found colouring in downstairs on the sofa on an evening (I try to reduce screens on a night) and rather than rest on a book I use a clipboard (UK Link/US Link).

This colouring page is a great idea for doing with my girls, so we can chat away about how we are all different and that beauty comes in a variety of ways. Mich x

My daughter would love these pages. I hate printers as I’ve never had one that will just print out one sheet of paper. It always takes about an hour and 20 sheets!

This is the sort of colouring that Eliza loves to do now. Will have to print some out for her

I have the same printer and I am looking forward to not having to buy another expensive printer cartridge again or at least for two years!! My old printer used to drink the stuff. The colouring pages look great nad good for rainy days for activities.

I’m looking for a new printer and this one looks fab. I’ve had Epsoms before and they’ve always worked well. Love the colouring in pages too
