I have to agree with Galen's earlier comment on preferring the printed shingles, even though the ones used look great.
I think that cutting the printed shingles into courses before applying them to the roof would look better. You'd still need to colour the lower cut edges, but this would allow you to lap each successive row slightly over the previous one, imparting some relief to the roof.

The cut edge would have to be colored with chalk or paints (or felt pens) to match, but that's not too tough.
