Final Words

You can avoid wasting paper by printing multiple slides on a single page. This can also help you avoid clutter and make your slides easier to scan. However, printing multiple slides on a single page has limitations and might lead to issues related to legibility if too many slides are printed on the same page or when the slides have a lot of content.
