Such tiny print.

Do others find the tiny print on packages and bottles hard to read?

Even with my reading glasses on I find some of the print on food items and medicines so difficult to read, especially when it is written on top of red background which is often the case.

Re: Such tiny print.

Yes I do and often have to get out a magnifying glass.

You're not alone maursey.

What bugs me most though, is instructions on lids, plastic jugs, garden sprays etc, that are white (or whatever else colour), on a white background.
What maggot in their brain makes them put words or markings on something in the same colour as the background??? Idiots. Grrr.

Re: Such tiny print.

I have problems too. I just can't believe I used to read stuff like that easily with my naked eye.
I'm convinced the print is smaller..

Re: Such tiny print.

The worst of it is use before dates especially on tablets ............

Re: Such tiny print.

That's a perfect example of what I meant Patsy. They usually put some kind of white indentation on a white background. It's so stupid.

Re: Such tiny print.

As I get older print gets smaller and paler. I'm convinced there's a conspiracy against me.

Re: Such tiny print.

I struggle too, and agree about getting out a mag glass.

The conspiracy is against me too, Alan!

Re: Such tiny print.

I'm pretty fortunate as, being short-sighted, I just take my varifocals off and I can read small print easily. One of the few perks, I guess!

Re: Such tiny print.

I was saying this today, maursey, since recently being diagnosed coeliac I am doing plenty of label reading

Also why do they print in such a way that you have to read around a bottle involving a lot of twisting and twirling!! Simpler to read print going down the label, surely.
