🖨️ Printing Email (and Adjusting Font Size)
If your emails look too small on screen or when printed, you can increase Gmail’s default font size for new messages.
This won’t change older emails, but it will make your future messages easier to read and print.

💬 Pro Tip: If text still appears too small when printed, check your browser’s print preview zoom setting—it can override Gmail’s font size.
đź’¬ Pro Tip: For important or formal messages, use a standard, easy-to-read font like Arial or Verdana to ensure clarity both on screen and on paper.
💬 Pro Tip: Want to make reading easier without changing your send font? Use Ctrl + Plus (+) or Ctrl + Minus (–) (Windows) or Command + Plus/Minus (Mac) to quickly zoom in or out on your screen.
