Coloured printables
|
Hello everyone,
I was wondering what do you do in the case of coloured printables....
Although I adore coloured printables I avoid creating/ printing them because in our school we only have a black & white photocopier.
Do you have a photocopier that produces coloured copies? (because those ones are really expensive) Do you show them via a projector?
I wish I could give my students coloured printables...unfortunately the colours are lost

Hello Mailis,
I also only have access to a black and white copier, so I will usually only use a color copier (at an office supply store) if color is extremely necessary for the lesson. Occasionally, I will also just color the copies with crayons or markers, but that takes a lot of time. Despite not being able to use color printables for myself, I have started making the printables that I upload to this site in color because it is helpful to other members and they seem to appreciate the effort.
Good luck with your future printables! |

I show the colored pictures on an over-head viewer or projector from my computer and often re-do the colored worksheets in paint shop pro ( any other image program will do) and make them black and whites for the kids.

there is no disformation in printing coloured worksheets by a b&w photocopier. colours are directly changed into gray scale but pictures still remains distinguishable.

I used to change them to B&W but now I just photocpy them as is - most actually look better copied from a colour copy than when converted to B&W. |

I use an inkjet printer and refill my own ink cartridges; it �s the only way I can afford to use colour. With primary children I usually print B & W because they use many worksheets, but with secondary I use a lot of colour worksheets, it really helps to keep their interest. |
