CSS Print Stylesheet

A guide to creating optimized print stylesheets that transform web content into professional, printer-friendly output.

Usage

Ask about print styles, page break control, print optimization, or paper-friendly layouts.

Examples

• "Create a print stylesheet that hides navigation and ads"
• "How do I control page breaks in printed content?"
• "Display full URLs next to links in print view"

Guidelines

• Hide non-essential elements like navigation and footers
• Expand links to show URLs using ::after and attr(href)
• Use page-break-inside: avoid for keeping content blocks together
• Set appropriate margins with @page rule
• Use black text on white background for readability
