Typically, printers are used to print various documents, educational materials, literary text, photos. Not many people think that the device can be used for entertainment purposes, creating unique things from games to unusual decorative elements.
If the first models of printers could recognize one or two document formats, now a rare file is not suitable for printing. Nevertheless, it is most convenient to print the following main formats:
- pdf (especially practical when transferring from one PC to another, since regardless of the software versions the document of this format will not change);
- docx (files created by Microsoft Word);
REFERENCE! Other Microsoft Office documents (presentations, spreadsheets, etc.) can also be printed, but they do not often coincide in external display with the size of a single sheet, which, for example, can cause printing of one wide spreadsheet on several pages at once.
- jpeg, bmp, png and other graphic formats (for printing photos);
- html (web page).
In fact, formats suitable for printing are much larger, but rarely when an ordinary user goes beyond the scope of this list.
However, the printer can be used not only for the usual printing of books, documents, articles, photos, etc. - on it you can "create" a huge number of unique things. Users all over the world create and post such ideas on the network, and sometimes together with ready-made files. These prints affect various areas of life and, as a rule, they are aimed at improving them.
Most popular ideas:
Sheets for the diary. In connection with the popularization of numerous planning systems, the fashion for notebooks defined for them has gone. Unfortunately, such diaries are made abroad (as well as individual pages for them), so their cost is quite large. And it comes out much cheaper to print them from ready-made templates yourself. One of such popular planning systems is bullet journal.
REFERENCE! To print diary sheets require more dense sheets than for ordinary documents.
Check lists. If you constantly forget to do something with daily or monthly cleaning, take some thing on a regular trip, then you will definitely be helped in the organization of checklists. You can either create them yourself or print them from the Internet. Public templates cover various topics: a shopping list for the month, essential items at sea, cases for monthly cleaning, interesting places to visit in a particular city, and much more.
Marathons and Challenges. For a long time you can not force yourself to play sports or read more books, then this option is for you. Among the ready-made ideas, there are litas in which it’s written how much you need to keep the bar on a particular day (or any other exercise), what task you should do today in order to become a little better, etc.
Multi-page poster. The embodiment of this idea will be a wonderful decoration of the house. But it is worth picking up images or photos of good quality to avoid blur. Then a similar poster can rightfully replace the wallpaper.
Corporate identity letterhead for documents. Want your company's paper to be different from others? Decorate it with a logo or a characteristic color bar. Then your customers / colleagues / suppliers will immediately see who the paper came from, even without reading the document itself.
REFERENCE! Prepare these forms should be in advance so as not to add a logo every time you create a document.
Bulky things. For decorating a room or as an original gift, you can print templates for some things, and then assemble a three-dimensional structure from them, for example, a camera.
If, for example, you live in a small town where it is difficult to find something for creativity or entertainment, and ordering over the Internet is too risky, since the goods can come in a rumpled form, then you can print many things yourself. For girls, the most relevant are the following ideas:
- board games (you can think up both independently and find a template of some popular game);
- mazes, crosswords and other various puzzles;
- paper dolls;
- scrapbooking paper;
- coloring pages (including those from the popular anti-stress series);
- patterns for making toys (eg squash);
- puzzles;
- stickers;
- calendar and more.
Printing out such things on your own, you also relieve yourself of the insane store bills, when the child needs exactly what is currently out of stock.
Do not immediately rush to print immediately all that met on the Internet. First of all, make sure that this template is of high quality (the vague outlines of the coloring have not pleased anyone yet). If this image is on a web page, then right-click on it and select "Find a picture (Google)". This search query will help you find all the available sizes of the image of interest.
Careful attention should be paid to the size of the printed document. This is especially true for choosing the most appropriate orientation: portrait or landscape.
