Why black and white is made with Ghostscript and how close it is to what Elmer prints; why Print image goes through the engine's copy image, with the table of what each other way failed on; what it cannot reach (a CSS background picture) and what it costs (the clipboard lives in Wonder Ink afterwards). The manual says Print page and Print image, and that the preview turns grey. Sunday's paper checks for both, in testing.md. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>

Wonder Ink opens the lesson. It is its own application, not the browser, and it opens straight into the lesson site.
Using it
- Click Wonder Ink on the bar.
- Sign in with your Wonder Ink account.
A lesson often opens several tabs — the lesson, its video, an activity. They appear in a row across the top. Click a tab to move between them, and the × on a tab to close it.
There is no address bar, on purpose. Wonder Ink can take you anywhere the lesson needs to go.
Making the lesson bigger or smaller
Press Ctrl and + to make the lesson bigger, Ctrl and − to make it smaller, and Ctrl and 0 to go back to normal. You can also right-click the lesson and choose Make the lesson bigger. When several tabs are open, the − 100% + buttons at the top right do the same.
The size applies to every tab and is remembered next time.
Printing
Press Ctrl and P, click Print at the top right, or right-click and choose Print page…. You will see the pages exactly as they will print.
- Choose Only some pages to print, for example,
2or1-3. - Set Copies for the number of children.
- Choose Black and white to save color ink. The preview turns grey, so you see what will come out; choose Color to go back.
Printing a picture from the lesson. Right-click the picture and choose Print image…. Only that picture prints, not the page around it. This works for pictures you cannot open by themselves.
In the preview for a picture, also under Picture: choose its Size (for example 50%), click one of the nine Position squares to put it in a corner or the middle, and choose Paper upright or sideways. The preview changes as you choose, and shows exactly what will print. Fill the whole page makes it cover the paper but cuts off the edges. A picture that is open in a tab by itself prints the same way.
If Wonder Ink says a picture could not be taken from the page, it had not finished loading: close the preview and try again, or choose Print page… to print the whole page instead.
Click Print. Wonder Ink says when the printer has it and goes back to the lesson. Cancel prints nothing.
Worksheets and colouring pages
Click the worksheet link in the lesson. It opens in a new tab, ready to read or print. A worksheet's own − and + at the top of the page make it bigger or smaller.
Worksheets you download are kept separately from everything else on the computer, so they never get mixed up with anything.
When you have finished
Close Wonder Ink at the end of your session. Closing it signs you out, so the next teacher in this room starts with their own account and not yours.
