Ugh, there's nothing worse than having great line art for coloring be ruined by shitty quality paper.
>I'm too lazy to copy everything to better paper
Doing this actually isn't that difficult! The best paper I've found for printing line art on to is the Springhill, Digital Vellum Cover White, 80lb paper. (There are some better quality papers that are specifically for colored pencils, but they don't come in reams (they're in spiral-bound notebooks with perforated pages) and they have to be trimmed down to 8.5" x 11".) It has a really great weight, and the paper has a lot of tooth for the colored pencil pigments. Through trial and error, I found that the tooth is the single biggest determination of how well colored pencils will work on it. Little-to-no tooth means that the colored pencil pigment won't really "stick" to the paper very will and, as more is added, will just begin to smear around instead of blending nicely.
Once you have your ream of Springhill Digital Vellum (or whatever paper you choose to use), you can take your coloring book to someplace like FedEx/Kinkos or whatever copying store of your choice. Hand them the coloring book and tell them you'd like them to cut off the spine of the book. (Note: their company policy prevents them from copying copyrighted materials, even if you are doing it for purposes which fall under "fair use" protections... which I would argue that this is). I believe they'll charge you like $1.50 or something per cut, but it makes the whole process a lot easier.
Then you can take your pages over the self-service printers, load your Springhill paper into the side tray, throw the pages in the document feeder, and then hit the "Copy" button. You'll probably be in and out of there in 15 minutes and you'll have the entire book reprinted on nice paper for maybe less than $10 (not counting the cost of the ream of Springhill).
 
I did this, myself, a couple of times after getting books with great art but shit paper. It's absolutely worth doing it. Later, I ended up getting a better printer at home that has an automatic feed document scanner and just reprint the art at home.
