Optimise print quality of HTML pages by using reading mode on your browser
Topics:
If you require a print copy of one of our web pages published in the HTML format, use the Reading Mode on your browser.
Instead of printing the full web page layout with all popups or other clutter, Reading Mode rebuilds the page around the main article text and essential images. This improves the quality of print documents.
