Many good tips already... So here's mine:
When i first started playing with paper wallets, i made a couple testnet paper wallets, loaded them with testnet coins and sweeped them with the testnet android wallet... Just to learn the basics on how to generate, print, store, encrypt, decrypt, sweep,... them. This way, chances of losing coins because you're still learning are slimmer.

This is really good advice, been a bit wary of making paper wallets in case I f*ck up and lose all my bitcoin
One quick question tho, I've heard that some models of printers store documents in their own memory. Do you think it's worth buying a cheap printer and then destroying it after the wallets are printed or is that tin foil level crazy?
