But first, you need to get the newsletters in a printable form by using your web browser.
In order to do that, you need to open the archived version of your campaign first.
Step 1. Opening Your Archived Mailchimp Campaign
To open an archived version of your sent Mailchimp newsletters:
- Log in to your Mailchimp account.
- Click on the “Campaigns” tab.
- Click on “All campaigns”.
- Choose the campaign you want to print and click on it.
- Click on “View email”.
- Click on “Past Issues” near the top of the screen.
You will now see a list of all your sent campaigns, including the one you selected.
Before you move on to the printing process, you need to turn the Archive Bar off and remove the webpage header and footer.
Step 2. Turning Off The Archive Bar And Headers
Mailchimp automatically adds an Archive Bar on top of all archived email campaigns to make it easier for subscribers to translate and view campaigns sent to them.

Most web browsers will add a header and footer to your newsletter email to show the website address and name, and the date you accessed the page.
You can disable the header and footer when you set your print and save settings (more on this in a moment).
This is usually at the very bottom of the print settings.
