Printing using "View Print Friendly"
Websites are designed to display information on monitors for easy access anywhere in the world. However every technology has its limits. Our "View Print Friendly" pages are designed to allow you to print all information as it appears, in linear order, to a home or office printer. However, since many portions of our content exceed the length of a standard sized paper, it is normal for some information to be "cut off" or "continued" on next printed page (as every printer prints differently with different margins). We created this option as one way to distribute content for your convenience.
If you are experiencing pages or content being "cut off" when printing "View Print Friendly" versions of our products, here are your other options:
-
On product pages, click the button under product photo labeled "PDF Brochure" (if available). This is our product brochure, containing general information about our product.
-
If you are attempting to print just one piece of content (single: table, chart, information, etc.), you can click "View This Item" located to the lower right of each isolatable item. Again you may experience information "cut off" when printing if content is longer than paper size.
-
For supplemental information not contained in PDF brochure please call or email us to request it. Please be sure to have the product, and information you want to obtain ready.

Printing a PDF Brochure
PDF stands for Portable Document Format. It is a file format designed for document exchange with multiple purposes. We created PDFs of our products (when available) to make it easier for our clients to access and print general information. The benefit of printing from a PDF document is that information can be contained and set to print from any home/office printer.
If you are experiencing the edges of pages being slightly "cut off", this is due to your printer's preset margins not allowing information to be printed on outer edges of your paper. Different makes and models of printers have different preset margins.
Follow this easy step to ensure that all information from our PDF brochures will print:
When initiating "Print" (window that pops up to select your printer, etc.), find the setting that has to do with "Page Scaling" and chose "Scale to fit paper" or "Fit to Printable Area" (This may vary slightly based on computer). Now print your document. Your printed PDF should fit the page.
- Some proportional size scaling may occur.
- Noticing problems with text? Read our trouble viewing a PDF brochure section for the resolution.
