Toppers often use "Unruled" Sheets
Ishita Kishore's GS notes are on plain A4 sheets. To maintain that feel, select "No Binding" if you want to keep them in a folder, or Spiral Binding if you want a book.
The Problem with Printing Handwritten PDFs
Topper notes are scanned copies. They often have:
- Dark Backgrounds: Poor scanners leave grey backgrounds that waste ink and look muddy.
- Faint Text: Pencil or light pen marks disappear on low-quality Xerox machines.
- Margins: Scans often have crooked edges.
Our Optimization Process
At OnlinePrintout, we don't just hit "Print". We recommend:
- 75 GSM Premium Paper: Don't use standard 70 GSM. Topper notes usually require highlighters. 75 GSM prevents bleed-through.
- High Contrast Mode: Our production printers enhance the black levels, making faint handwriting legible.
- Spiral Binding: Split large notes (e.g., "GS Paper 1 - 400 pages") into two spiral-bound volumes for easier reading.
