Instructions for printing and assembling paper models.

During the development of the figures, I did my research on what devices and paper are best to print on. I will tell you right away that inkjet home printers are the least suitable for figurines. This is because inkjet paper is very porous and the glue will definitely stain your model. The result will look very bad on any paper, of any density. You can try printing it out for practice.

For more assembly fun and a guaranteed beautiful result, it is better to print on a color laser UV printer. These are usually available at any printing center that does small non-circulation printing for the public. The price bites, but usually the more you print at a time, the less it costs per page.

The paper should be glossy, A4 size and density of 180-200. It's a little more expensive than regular 60-80 weight, but you can ignore that difference for the price of color printing. This thick paper holds its shape well, and the smooth surface easily removes excess glue. Such paper is not afraid of occasional drops of water.

To prevent such thick paper from cracking when folded, all edges should be lightly notched with a box cutter along the light fold lines.
