How do you mean?Yup, but again, this varies by printer.So can a Xerox Phaser 860/8200, and to some extent, a Xerox 6200. Like I said, it varies by printer.Have you noticed how the printout of The Book of Eldritch Might PDF chews up more toner/ink than the actual printed book from SSS? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Anyhow, that's one of the reasons I'm considering making two different PDFs...one that's attractive and one that's cheap.Depends on who you ask, period. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Are you saying that resolution and display size don't make a difference? If so, then I can't disagree more. My laptop has a 15-inch (maybe 14-inch, now that I think about it, but too lazy to grab a ruler) display, and at 1024x768, I can read my PDF without any difficulty at all. I.E., no squinting.I agree, to an extent. Apple's tech docs are mostly nothing but text, and they're quite nice and clean, but they also tend to chew up a _lot_ of white space. Still nice though. However, IMO, you aren't limited to well-set text. There are a lot more options than just that. For a "toner conservative" PDF, then well-set text is all you need, and like I said, I'll do one of those if I have the time.I agree, but that's not the primary look I'm going for, mostly due to the fact that I think you _can_ have an ornate design that is attractive, functional, and can still be easy on the eyes. For example, my current layout is easy on _my_ eyes. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />But, don't get the impression that I'm ruling out any other layout. I've been working on several, and just finished a new one last night that I'm pretty fond of so far, but I won't trully know until I drop some text down on it.</blockquote>
