Your impression is correct! The Blueprint grid depends on floats, and it depends on a common screen resolution. Neither of these translate very well to printers. In order to make printing functional, the Blueprint print.css does not contain any grid formatting. Instead, everything becomes vertical so it can flow down the page. If you want your grid structure preserved on the printed page, you are going to have to use custom print rules. But let me warn you in advance: it's damn hard. You can't rely on pixels because printers don't work that way, you will have to size things in points (pt) and you cannot assume that what comes out of your printer will resemble what comes out of another printer. -- -- Christian Montoya christianmontoya.net --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Blueprint CSS" group.
