Normally you should stay with the media="screens, projection" and just add your custom print-sheet instead oft he blueprint-print.css
A hot hint on using print-sheets (asuming that you live in europe and use DIN-A4 paper for standard prints) is, to take the value of 21cm x 29,70cm and subsctract the default padding your browsers-print-option applies. You should only use jpg for printing with 300dpi and only use cm as units in your print.css file. Hope that helps. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von Christian Montoya Gesendet: Donnerstag, 04.

The styles intended for the screen are not guaranteed to be compatible with printing, and all browsers / operating systems / printers behave differently. So I recommend you do a lot of testing before assuming that you are getting the results you want. -- -- Christian Montoya mappdev.com :: christianmontoya.net -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Blueprint CSS" group.
