Printing Hints..

We have made these Solar System Charts as A4 size for each section. Thisdownload is the less black download so you will need to cut around the sectionsand glue them onto an A3 size black card for each planet. If you are not con-cerned about using black ink we have a straight download with the black back-ground included you can download this from the link listed below..

If this size is too big for you - just change your printer settings in properties -

page layout - 2 in 1 or even smaller 4 in 1.

You can download the black background version from the followingpage.Ideas for use are here also
