Advice when printing from PowerPoint

It is recommended that you do not use elaborate background images. "Busy" background images are distracting and make text hard to read. A solid colour background usually makes the most aesthetic sense. If you use a background image, make it subtle, ensuring that any text contrasts well and is readable.

Minimise the use of images: overuse of images detracts from conveying the information that is the presentation's purpose.

Use smaller, non-overlapping images.
