How to print the calendar
The PDF buttons above give the cleanest result, because each file is laid out to fit a single sheet. Printing this web page from the browser also works, but it can add page headers, a web address or a second page.
- Paper size: use US Letter (8.5 × 11 in) in the US and Canada, and A4 (210 × 297 mm) in the UK, Europe, Australia, India and most other countries.
- Orientation: landscape gives wider day boxes for writing; portrait suits binders and clipboards.
- Scaling: choose "Fit to page" (sometimes labeled "Fit") in the print dialog so no edge of the grid is cut off.
- Browser printing: press Ctrl+P on Windows or Cmd+P on a Mac, set the layout to landscape and turn off headers and footers.
- Ink: black-and-white or grayscale mode is enough for a clear grid.
