Optimal Printing Instructions for Formathics Materials

For the best printing experience, we recommend the following:

  • Preferred Devices: Use laptops, desktops, Chromebooks, or MacBooks.
  • Recommended Browsers: Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or other Chromium-based browsers (like Opera, Brave, Epic).
  • Document Margins: Our printable materials are formatted with a 0.5-inch margin. This setting should apply automatically with the recommended hardware/software. Depending on your specific setup, you may need to add this manually.
  • Save PDF First: If your hardware/software combination has trouble printing directly from Formathics, save the document as a PDF first using "Save to PDF" or "Save as PDF" in your browser, then print the PDF directly.
  • Scale: The best scale settings depend on your specific setup. Certain hardware/software combinations work best when scaled to 100%, while others work best with a smaller scale or when using the "fit to printable area" or "fit to page" options.

Important Notes:

  • While Formathics is mobile-friendly, printing from mobile devices may result in formatting issues due to how some devices handle printing. Therefore, we advise against using mobile devices for printing.
  • We do not support printing with or saving from the Safari browser, as it may not correctly apply site-updated print settings.

Need to Print from a Mobile Device?

  • If you must print from a phone, adjust the scale/zoom settings for better results. As a starting point, try setting the scale to 88% and adjust as needed, especially when using iPhones.
