If you can, creating or coloring your pages digitally based on the ink you have so you don't have to use dithering will give you much better results.

I want to give this to my younger relatives who will certainly slobber on it. I think I may have a lead in using a flattop printer or UV printer. They seem to be able to print on anything. The downside they run like $20K. I am looking to see if i can find a prosumer version. | |

If it's not objectionable, you could print on a normal printer and bond the paper or card stock to the board. | |
