      PDF:  Great for printing at home, attaching to an email or order prints from the copy store

      Commercial Print:  This can be used to send to your local print shop if you are going to have these professionally printed

      Image (PNG):  Best way to download as a photo, can be used to upload to Facebook, Mailchimp or embed in an email.

      Print your newsletters

      You can do this by printing copies at home, at a local office supply store or order professional prints. Having a local office supply store is the most economical way in my opinion. They will be printed on high-quality color laser printers for typically much less than what it would cost to print at home. Staples charges about $0.88/newsletter (color, double-sided) while staples charges $1.07 for the same.
