Print CSS

CSS allows us the ability to have a certain CSS document used for specific devices. A popular example is the print stylesheet.

A regular CSS file will be used to style the web page in the browser and a different CSS file will be used to handle the style of the web page when the user send the file to a printer.

Why would we even care to do this? Well when printing a web page it might make sense to hide the navigation since the paper is not ‘ interactive’, we might want to hide adds, change the font size, use a different font, change the layout… the possibilities are pretty much endless.

When using Dreamweaver simply create a separate CSS document, link to the file but in this case choose printer under the media option.
