HCV Publicity leaflet

If you know of somewhere you could put out a few publicity leaflets or perhaps put up one as a poster you can now download an electronic version from here and print it out:

HCV Leaflet (basic quality)   (207kbyte – ≈50sec with a 56k modem @ typical 33.6kbit/s) HCV Leaflet (good quality)   (432kbyte – ≈1min 45sec with a 56k modem @ typical 33.6kbit/s; ≈7sec with broadband @ 512kbit/s) HCV Leaflet (high quality)   (2.15Mbyte – ≈35sec with broadband @ 512kbit/s)

Printing tips — A monochrome laser printer is best, especially if photocopying the print-out. On a colour printer use a grayscale o/p. Use "auto-rotate & centre" option. Try to print at 100%, i.e. no "auto-shrink". If you encounter problems try the "Print as image" option. The design is better on coloured paper, e.g. green.
