Your printer has likely unprintable margins. Have a look into your 
printer manual, whether you can turn it off. My printer needs at least 
5mm on each edge.

I would not try to print it with an inkjet printer. You would need high 
quality paper of 90g/m². Such full colored brochure needs offset printer.

You will never get homogeneous full color on large areas from low-cost 
laser printers.

Forget that example. Make your own brochure. The brochure from the link 
is not suitable for home equipment.

You can get 1000 sheets for about 60€ from professional print shops. 
Have you considered that? What are your costs for 1 sheet?

If you will print them at home nevertheless, and you do not want a white 
sheet, you might consider a pale colored paper.

Kind regards
