Printing

Print preparation

Turn images, scans and notes into clean, correctly ordered PDFs that print the way you expect.

Before you start

Printing needs detail that screens hide. An image that looks sharp on a phone can print soft once it is stretched across a page, so start from the largest original you have and do not compress files you are going to print. Put everything into one PDF in the right order and look through it before you print.

Print sharpness depends on the source: a small image cannot gain detail.
Check page order and orientation in a PDF viewer before you print.
