Print Styles

Pages that users are likely to print render cleanly in print view.

Platform: webTags: print, css, layout, accessibility

Check

Pages users might print (invoices, reports, reference content, tickets) have a @media print stylesheet that: hides navigation, sidebars, and CTAs; removes background colors; ensures text is black on white; includes the page URL in the footer; breaks pages logically (avoid breaking headings from their content).

Why This Matters

Postel's Law: be liberal in what you support. Print is a real use case for invoices, boarding passes, reports, and reference pages. An unstyled print view looks broken — the browser's default print of a modern web app produces unusable results.

How to Verify

Open Chrome Print Preview (⌘P) on key pages. Check: navigation hidden, text readable, no color backgrounds, URL visible in footer.
