WHY ACCESSIBLE PRINT MATTERS
Many learners struggle not with content, but with how it is presented.
Clear spacing, strong contrast, and predictable layout reduce cognitive load.
SAFE DEFAULTS
• A4 paper
• Portrait orientation
• 100% scale (no “fit to page”)
• Plain white or off-white paper
LINE SPACING
Wider spacing improves tracking and reduces crowding.
Avoid tightly packed lines or compressed layouts.
CONTRAST
Strong lines on a clean background are clearer.
Avoid thin grey lines or decorative textures.
BOLDER IS BETTER
Thicker lines and fewer rows per page improve clarity.
Landscape orientation can help reduce line length.
CONSISTENCY
Predictable spacing and alignment help learners orient themselves quickly.
WIDER LINES
Wider spacing allows better control and reduces fatigue.
Highlighted baselines can help letter placement.
MARGINS
Clear margins give space for hand anchoring and reduce page drift.
IMPORTANT SETTINGS
Always check:
• Scale = 100%
• No “fit to page”
• Correct orientation (portrait / landscape)
IF IT LOOKS WRONG
Reprint one page only.
If spacing changes, a scaling option is still active.
