How important is print styleshet?

How important is print styleshet?

1 Answer

On pages that arent supposed to be printed? Not at all.

On pages that are going to be printed? really important.

An example might be, you have a portfolio site with a black background and white text. For your artwork or examples of websites you've made, it wont be important to have a print media query because nobody is going to print out one of your project pages.

However, if you have a web-version of your resume.. you might want to have a print media query for that page that makes the background white, text black and removes most images and ink-heavy pieces. You wouldnt want to make a potential client print out an 8x11 page with a black background and white text.
