⚠️ Printing Limitations

When printing newsletters in Smore, there are a few limitations to keep in mind:

Background Fade-Out

• When you print a newsletter (or view it in an email), the background image will fade out depending on the length of the newsletter.
• This was designed intentionally so that the image doesn’t cut off abruptly but instead transitions smoothly with a fade effect.
• On the Smore website, this doesn’t happen. The newsletter scrolls while the background image stays fixed.

💡 Tip: If this is an issue, try using the “Minimal” design theme backgrounds. These repeating pattern backgrounds will print and email more consistently.

Page Breaks

• Depending on your content length, your newsletter may span multiple printed pages.
• In some cases, text or images may be split across page breaks.

💡 Workaround: Download your newsletter as a JPEG first, then scale it for printing. This usually provides cleaner page formatting.

Printing Access

• Only the owner of a newsletter can print it in the correct format.
• While others may still print the newsletter, it will not display with proper formatting.
