Article: [SENco-forum] Cream Paper

Hello
  One way to help pupils to see better on screen in Word is to go to Tools Options General and tick the box which says 'Blue background white text'.  This actually prints out black on white but certainly helps my tired eyes at the end of a long day staring at a screen.
   
  As for using different colour print - it is an excellent idea if you can do it.  We only have a black and white photocopier and it can take ages to print documents instead.  We do have coloured paper.  I have used filters as well.
   
  The nightmare is the pupil who needs their exam paper copied on to a different colour.  Copying papers on to a different colour while trying not to read them and maintain security is really difficult!

In the meantime economy white paper that has not been bleached to death is
better than nothing as is using grey ink instead of black. For many it is
the glare off the paper and/or the contrast with the ink that is the
problem. For me blue ink on white paper is fine where black is not.
