Print handouts and hide backgrounds

After hiding the background graphics on the slide master in order to print handouts for the audience, slides can still be hard to read, if you choose to print in color. Choosing to print in grayscale or pure black and white shows only the text on a white background of each slide. This makes the slide easy to read and all the important content is still present.
