How I recommend you use this book:

1. Download to your device where you normally keep downloads. I don't recommend printing off the Dehydrating Basics portion of the book but keep it handy for reference.
2. Print off only the journal pages you need as you begin working through your projects - or print them all off in one batch and get your dehydrating binder ready to go! A blank page is included to print off as many times as you need to record any project you want to expand and grow on your own!

While there are a few full-color pages in the book, you can choose the ink saver or black-and-white-only option for your particular printer.

Hint: If you go to a shop like Staples, you can use their copy machines to print only the journal sheets.
