Real-Life Concept Cars

Real-Life Concept Cars. Like many people of his generation, Baron Margo was dazzled by futuristic concept cars Detroit trotted out year after year. And he was disappointed that those streamlined vehicles remained unobtainable concepts... Page 18 - Link.

Make digital is great for online reading, but the print outs suck. The quality drops way down and is difficult to read. I occasionally want to do one of the projects with my 8th grade science group and would dearly love to be able to offer them crisp, easily readable printout to work from, but the print is all pixelated and the pages don't line up with the paper.
I once spent the time to screen grab the images and stitching them together, but it was tedious. Please fix this Make. Otherwise, keep up the good work.

Oh, I'm printing from a MacBook from Safari on a HP laser printer. Just so you know.
