Printing is available from Flipster! The available print options are determined by the publisher. You may be able to print a single page, a range, or none at all.

Some magazines have a print button available on the right side bar.

• Choose print pages in view to print the pages in the viewer.
• Choose print all pages to print the entire magazine.

Some magazines do not have a print button on the right side bar (ex. National Geographic). Using your browser's native print function can sometimes cause pages to be cut off.

A workaround to print whole pages from these magazines is:

• Right-click (or tap-and-hold) the page and choose Open image in new tab.
• Right-click (or tap-and-hold) the space next to the page and choose Print.
