Eco Friendly Web Printing

Optimize a web page for printing.

Have you or your learners ever printed a web page only to find the printout is full of adverts, empty space and other junk you don’t want?

PrintWhatYouLike is a free web page editor that gives you control of how web pages look when printed (I know I've included PrintWhatYouLike in a past issue of the eMagazine but, for those of you who don't know me, I do have this thing about dead-tree documents). 

All users need to do is:

  • Enter the url of any page they wish to print
  • Edit the page until it contains only what they want to print
  • Print It! Only the modified page will be printed

There is nothing to download- everything runs in a browser, and it takes just a few clicks to remove the backgrounds or images.  Users can even combine multiple web pages together - edit and print them as one document!

Try it out at http://www.printwhatyoulike.com/.

Just think how much paper and ink could be saved!
