Good catch, web and print layouts are different. Web layout assumes the 
primary/only viewing will be on screen not on paper. Thus the spacing is 
different to make it easier to read on screen, at least that is the theory.

Personally I have not found print layout to be difficult to read on 
screen with a large monitor.
