Supplies You Will Need

This is a printable planner designed to print off and write in. To print at home, you will need to following supplies. You may also find it cost-effective to take to a local store and get the planner printed.

Please note: I do not recommend binding the printer as binding a planner makes it difficult to change out the pages as you need.

Some of these links are affiliate links. To make it easier for you, I have a list here on my Amazon store. 

To make the most of this planner, you will need:

• Printer Black & White or Color (I am using this one), Or send it away to get printed.
• 3-ring binder (I like Avery and 2-3 inch, 1 inch wasn't big enough for me)
• 3 hole punch
• Disc Planner Punch AKA Happy planner 11 or 9 hole punch (optional)
• 11 or 9 classic metal discs - for a disc-style planner
• 8.5 x 11 printer paper (I get mine locally. Make sure the color ink won't bleed through, I like 20lb or so)
• card stock for cover and dividers
• Laminator for cover if you are using the Happy Planner Design or take it to your local paper supply store for laminating
• planning tools like stickers, pens, highlighters, etc. 

Printing Settings:

Depending on your printer, you may have a few options to help you make the most of your planner.

**Please note: colors may vary depending on the printer you are using. This means the planner may look one color on your screen and another went printed. This is normal.

Above is a screenshot of my printer's settings. From here I can choose "greyscale" or choose "toner saving option", this will change the color you see.

You can also choose to change the size of your paper. If you are using the Classic Happy, you'll need to change your % for printing. Again, each printer is different. Under the size tab, set the “custom scale” to 84%. (This may need to be adjusted depending on your printer!) Then, print your page.

Lastly, if you like to open the planner and see the whole week you can print it on both sides of your paper. Choose "print on both sides of paper" and the "flip on the long side" to make it look like a book.

I would practice printing a page or two in black and white until you get everything set up and then print in color.
