Next, you'll need to think about page width. If your pages are too wide, they won't fit on paper. Width problems are often caused by a layout that contains fixed-width tables. The solution is to either use relative widths, or to make sure that fixed width is not too large. In order for your pages to print correctly, they should have a maximum width of approximately 600 pixels.

As CSS overrides HTML definitions, it's easy to change size of your tables. For example, defining a relative width of 100% can be done with following class:

.setwidth { width: 100% }

...and don't forget details! ================================

Your next concern is font. The one you use for screen display might not be best one for paper. Sans-serif fonts, such as Arial, are often considered to be most suitable fonts for Web. On other hand, Times New Roman is generally best solution for printed content.

In addition to font style, you'll also need to consider its size. The font has to be large enough so that it can be read easily. However, if it's too large, it'll take up unnecessary space. The optimal size in my opinion is somewhere around 12-14 points.

Consider setting background color to white and text color to black with CSS. Some printers do print background images and colors, which is usually just a waste of ink. Even worse, if text color and background color are close to each other, printout may be impossible to read.

Instead of using a class selector for these modifications, it's usually more comfortable to simply change way in which text inside BODY tag is displayed. Setting font to black 12-point Times New Roman and background to white can be achieved with following CSS statement:

BODY { background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black }

The final touch ===============

After you've created a stylesheet that is to your liking, link it to your HTML files. To do that, simply place following line between and tags:

All that you'll need to do now is to use your new classes in appropriate places and you're set to go. Happy printing!
