Make digital is great for online reading, but the print outs suck. The quality drops way down and is difficult to read. I occasionally want to do one of the projects with my 8th grade science group and would dearly love to be able to offer them crisp, easily readable printout to work from, but the print is all pixelated and the pages don’t line up with the paper.
I once spent the time to screen grab the images and stitching them together, but it was tedious. Please fix this Make. Otherwise, keep up the good work.
Oh, I’m printing from a MacBook from Safari on a HP laser printer. Just so you know.
@john – hmm, try this: print as a PDF, all macs have that option. then open that PDF and print that, see if it’s any different.
