Please remember and be aware of  copyright laws and ethics - which essentially means that you cannot print or copy pages from the site for any other use without permissions (from the site author/owner as well as any and all contributors involved in specific pages). For example - you may print pages to keep in your personal temari notebook and pattern book. You may not print/copy pages to republish on the web or any other place (print or electronic), make copies to hand out in classes, or any other re-distribution (be it for profit or non-profit use) without b being given permission to use the information in such manners. If you wish to use information from Temarikai in this manner, please get in touch.

All of that stuff out of the way, here are some tips for printing pages:

1) Temarikai is a framed site. In order to print the page you are after (rather than just the title bar), place your cursor in the actual page you want to print, and left click. That will tell your computer that you want the page and not the header frame. You can also double check by using the "print preview" option in your browser to double check that you are getting what you want. Depending on your browser and its settings, you may see that the header is on one page and the content page is on another. Use the "print these pages" option to choose to skip page 1 (which is the frame header).  Your browser gives you these options when you ask it to print.

 Another option is to back up one page from the page you wish to print, to the LINK LINK of the page you want.  Open the link in a new tab or window. This will give you the page without the header frame. Print the page in normal fashion.

2) Some Temarikai.com pages  - many at this time, with more coming -  have the option to "print a PDF of this page". A PDF file will keep the page formatted while printing a "regular" web page can sometimes be frustrating no matter what you do (by the nature of browsers. HTML pages are really designed to be read, not printed. Add to that the fact that every single person sets their own options for how their browser presents those files and it's almost impossible to have things stay "in the right places") A PDF file will be handled by the free Adobe Reader, or a plug-in that lives in your browser (so you don't have to worry about it), or the newer browsers themselves can work with a PDF file.  If you use the PDF option you don't have to worry about getting the title frame or missing other sections.

(When Temarikai.com was first born in 2000, PDF files were not common;  they soon became a mainstay but the Adobe software to provide them was pretty pricey (the reader was always free). It took a while to save the pennies, and since about 2004 PDF files have been added to all new patterns and most site pages as they are added to Temarikai. As older pages are reworked, PDFs are being added, and the older, previously-posted patterns are being retrofitted as we can.

Be sure to check if the page you want has a PDF file available - it's a link near the top of the page.

3) Be sure to check the print settings in your browser, or printer software to be sure that the font, zoom, header/footer info, and orientation is appropriate for the page you are printing. You can alter the size of print using your browser settings - it's dependent upon the font settings in your browser as well as the font used to make the page. Sometimes they don't play nicely together. Check and adjust as needed and then check with the "print preview' option in your browser menu to see if you have something that looks ok.
