Is there any way to get a chart list with the below example?
Month/date(s). Festival. Location
This would make it help for me to print a couple of pages, vs a whole reem of paper, for future planning.
Hi Marie. We don’t currently have the resources to do that. However, if you scale your print-job to 50% and only print the pages with festivals on them (1-7) double-sided, you can get down to 4 pages with this information. Or, when I need to print something from a website, I’ll often copy and paste it into an email to myself, delete the photos and information I don’t need, then print the email from myself.
Thanks so much for sharing!
