Death to Print-Friendly Version Links/Buttons
I’ve never been a big fan of the Print-Friendly version link or button. They clutter the page. You get another version in another window and guess what? You have to select your browser print function anyhow.
Better to cut out the middle step and just let users press the print button. Do the “hard” work for them. Have a print-specific style sheet for the page that does it all for them.
I’ve been printing from Basecamp recently (ToDo lists specifically) and that’s the approach taken there. Super simple. Great format.
