      Mak,

      I’m afraid this is the wrong spot for your question. I recommend asking it at MakeUseOf Answers.

    Thank you very much dear Makeuseof!
    Question: What is the best way to print them clearly?
    I saved an image as .PNG and printed it from IrfanViewer, but it came out quite fuzzy because the saved image .PNG was compacted to only ~80KBytes.
    Any better way to save and print so it is crisp and easy to read?
    WinXP-PRO here.
    Thanks for your help, Eldad

      As pointed out by @Jon below, you first need to download the PDF file by following the quick download instructions on the page. And then print it just like any other document. The image file here is for preview purposes only.

    @Eldad, you need the password to get the PDF link; then you can download a nice printable file. Just follow the directions above under “How to Download.”

    nice collection of sheets (after figuring out how to d/l them), but it would have been nice having a link to the entire collection as a zipped file so we wouldn’t have to individually d/l each one.

    Thanks for the effort :)

      Hi Oussamaoufdil,

      Thanks for the input. In fact both descriptions are correct. That being said, given the context here I think your description fits better.

      We’ll get it corrected.
