Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 8,296 PointsWhat do I need to consider when creating an HTML Print template?
I need to create a report template that will printed out. Does anyone have any tips, or suggestions? Can I just go about it the same way I would create a web page?

Might also want to consider converting to black and white to save on color ink. Here's a good article on how to go about it:

It also lists some additional resources at the end for further reading.
