These practices readily support Large Print and electronic formats. Serif fonts such as Times New Roman , or Courier , are more difficult to read. Headings and text that need highlighting, are better presented in a bold, larger font size, or a different sans serif font. This emphasises the text, without cluttering it with underlining or italics. Avoid the use of stipple, shading boxes, or vignette background or logos.
Some people prefer a dark blue print.
A clean, crisp print, as from a laser or ink jet printer, is better than the older dot matrix type printers. Paper colour is generally white, although off-white or ivory may be preferred. Yellow is also a preferred colour for some people. Non-reflective matt finished paper is best, as any type of glossy paper increases glare and hinders reading. Left aligned text , with a ragged right side, as used in this booklet, is better.
