How to print pages

There are two ways to do this

  • Choose 'Print' from your web browser file menu.
  • Click on the 'Print this page' link, found at the bottom left of every page (not available for Internet Explorer for Macintosh).

Printer-friendly pages

All the pages on this site are "printer-friendly". The idea being that there are elements of a web page — the navigation menu for example — which are useful on the web, but redundant on a print-out.

Printer-friendly pages hide the web-specific parts of the page, and re-format the content to make it presentable on a printed page.

This not only provides readers with the most legible version of our site, but also gives you a page which prints quicker, saving you time and ink.

All the pages on this site are formatted using a sprinkle of magic that ensures that they will reformat themselves automatically when you print them.

Some web browsers, such as Mozilla and Firefox, will even show a preview of the reformatted page (File menu » Print preview)

You should not expect to see

  • Any menus (top or side)
  • The banner images and animation on the main home page and product home pages.
  • The two so-called "page tools" (print this page, email this page): neither are relevant on paper
  • Various elements which serve no useful purpose on paper.

You should expect to see

  • The font/typeface has changed. Some typefaces are more legible on screen, and some on print. We chose typefaces to suit each media: non-serifed on screen, serif for printed pages.
