How to Print Google Slides with 4 Slides Per Page

Step 1: Open Your Google Slides Presentation

Step 2: Prepare Your Presentation for Printing

• Simplify Your Design: Reduce clutter by removing unnecessary elements and using simple backgrounds.

• Increase Text Size: Ensure that text remains legible even when scaled down. Consider increasing font size and using bold for emphasis.

• Use High-Contrast Colors: This makes your slides easy to read even when printed in grayscale.

Step 3: Access the Print Settings

Step 4: Adjust Your Print Layout

• Change Layout: Click on the dropdown menu where it shows ‘1 slide without notes’. This will allow you to select different layouts for printing. Choose ‘1 slide with notes’ if you want to include your speaker notes, or select ‘4 slides horizontal’ or ‘4 slides vertical’ depending on how you want your slides to be arranged on each page.

• Scale to Fit: Check this option to scale your slides to fit the paper size you are using, ensuring that all content is printed without being cut off.

Step 5: Choose Your Printing Preferences

• Paper Size: Choose the paper size that matches what you have in your printer.

• Color: Select whether you want to print in color or in black and white.

• Orientation: Depending on how you've arranged the slides, choose either portrait or landscape orientation.

Additional Tips

• Save as PDF: If you're not ready to print immediately or want a digital copy with four slides per page, you can choose the ‘Download as PDF’ option in the print settings. This is especially useful for sharing with others digitally.

• Test Print: Consider doing a test print on one page to ensure that your settings are correct before printing the entire presentation.

• Use Print-Friendly Themes: Some themes are more print-friendly than others, typically those with simple, high-contrast designs.
