Hey.

When selecting File > Print on Google Chrome the Brizy site is very problematic for printing. My old audience which wants to print out specific blog posts and the featured image is all over the text etc. 
Is there anything you can recommend doing here?

  Hi Magnús, 

  Thank you for contacting us.

  Using File > Print to print websites often isn’t ideal, as it strips away much of the HTML and styling to optimize the page for printing. This can result in a layout that doesn’t accurately reflect the original design of the webpage.

  To resolve this, you can suggest installing the GoFullPage browser extension from this link:

  Here’s a screencast demonstrating how it works: https://youtu.be/ODSgHnRr1f8

  With this extension, they can capture the entire page while preserving its layout. The captured page can then be saved as an image or PDF and printed as needed.

  I hope this helps.

  Best regards,
  Ariel H.

  Yeah but its hard for me to recommend that to computer users of 65+.
  Is there anything else we can apply to the website directly so it won't be much of a problem for future guests?

  Hello Magnús,

  It is possible to make the PrintFriendly plugin work with Brizy. Checkout my test blog post https://brizy.online/how-to-style-a-console-table/ and click on the "Print PDF" button to see how it works.

  Please follow these steps to add the Print PDF button to your Blog post template

  1. Drag and drop the Brizy Shortcode element to your Blog posts template and paste the shortcode [printfriendly]
  2. By default the print button is aligned to the left. To align the Print button to the centre or right, add 2-3 Columns and place the short code within one of the columns.
  3. Deselect all the "Button Display" options
     

  If you need more detailed instructions, kindly let us know. We will make a screen recording for you.
