How to Print from Apple Notes
Printing your notes can be essential, especially when you need a hard copy for meetings, classes, or personal archives. While Apple Notes is primarily used for digital note-taking, it also provides an easy way to print your notes directly from your Mac or iOS device.
Let’s go through the steps to get your notes from the screen to the printed page.
