  1. FYI- Some of your buddy printables came out all black with pale gray outlines. (ie: swimming pool and goat buddy) which wastes ink a lot.

      I went back and checked and what I am seeing is clean black lines. Not sure what is causing your problems but will ask around to see if anyone else is having the same problem. Is it happening on all the black and white printables?

      I had someone else who is quite knowledgeable check it out and she says it prints cleanly for her too. Can you tell me what browser you are using? It sounds strange but sometimes that makes a difference.

  2. These animals are adorable, but I noticed that, while the panda is in the group thumbnail, it isn’t offered as one of the critters you can print. A little boy I watch loves pandas and I’d really like to print it for him.

      I am correcting that now. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

    I’m having a similar problem as the person who was looking for the panda bear. The sample images show a cow, horse, and a normal bear, but their print outs can’t be found anywhere.
    I did find the black and white raccoon under the Indian clothes (in case anyone is looking for him.)

  7. These are so nice. Is it too much to ask for more community helper paper dolls?
    Like a vet or pilot?
