If you need to print…

We have just revamped the printable versions of our web pages.

For environmental reasons, we don't encourage you to print our pages unless absolutely necessary. However, if you do need to print, we have created a print stylesheet which strips out the sidebars and top navigation. Not only does this make the page easier to read, it uses up less ink and paper.

You can see what the printed page will look like by using your browser's Print Preview (usually under File > Print Preview).

Some browsers (e.g. Mozilla, Firefox and Safari) will spell out URLs in brackets after hyperlinks. You can check whether your browser supports this by looking at the Print Preview of this page - if it is supported, links like the one in the previous sentence will be followed by the URL in full.

Remember to use your printer's two-sided (duplex) printing option if it has one. You will also find that our advice documents print well in booklet format, using half as much paper again.

Great to see you are not completely dismissing printing out documents but advising that there are more environomentally conscious ways of doing so.
