If you are just starting out, it might be wise to cut out some practice paper if you don't want to waste the good stuff.如果你是刚刚起步的，它可能是明智的，切出一些练习纸，如果你不想浪费好东西。 Newsprint or printer paper can be good for this.新闻纸或打印纸可以是很好的。 Just remember that the print may look different depending on the paper you use.只要记住，打印可能看起来不同，具体取决于您使用的纸张。
