One Useful Thing is a weekly newsletter of well-designed and helpful things.
Share One Useful Thing with your friends who hate wasting printer ink.
Printing a web page full of ads is an enormous waste of printer ink. And the print out never looks like the original webpage. Sometimes it’s even harder to read.
Good news: Print Friendly can save you ink and money by removing all of the junk on webpages and optimizing them for printing. Just look at the difference in this recipe before and after pasting the link into the Print Friendly website.
And Print Friendly does even more. You can increase or decrease text size, picture size (or just delete all pictures by selecting 0%), and create a PDF version to download right there in your browser, free, no strings attached.
Print Friendly also has free browser extensions for Firefox, Chrome, Edge and Internet Explorer that remove junk from web pages without having to visit the Print Friendly website.
