CSS and Printing

Posted in Design Notes, Post-It Notes at 6:08 pm by Chris

This is just a random comment, but I have to say that I rather love CSS and what it can do. I am currently in the process of tweaking things here and there so as to cut out the chaff, as it were, from being printed. There’s no need for anyone printing something off of my website to have to get my menus and extraneous images as well. If they’re printing something (that I don’t mind them printing) it’s a nice thing for them if I can save them some ink and paper.

 As for the things that I don’t want them printing, such as Portfolio items, I can simply hide them away, or replace them with a ‘you can’t print this’ image, or even add a watermark overtop of the image to prevent copyright loss. CSS, indeed, is a grand thing.
