Tips for Good Prints
- Include the Color Legend so you always have a thread reference with your printed chart
- Enable Row/Column Numbers to make it easier to find your place on large charts
- Use Symbols for B&W if you plan to print on a black-and-white printer or photocopy the chart
- For very large patterns, the grid pages can be taped together to form a complete chart
