Preparing mini coloring books

Keep line art readable at small trim sizes.

Short answer

Mini books need simpler art, thicker lines, and a DPI check at the actual small trim—not at the original canvas size.

Steps

  1. Choose the final mini trim first.
  2. Reduce detail and enlarge small gaps.
  3. Print one page at 100% scale before export.

How to verify the result

Example: check whether 2550 × 3300 pixels is enough for an 8.5 × 11 inch page.

Check: This is a calculation aid, not marketplace certification or a print proof.

Frequently asked question

Does changing metadata increase real DPI?

No. Effective print DPI depends on actual pixel dimensions divided by print size.
