Omit these in your print design
Often, people design their websites in full graphical glory, and then, allow it to go to print unfortunately, wasting end-user’s money in paper and ink. If you have a website and if you publish things that are worth printing for your (or their) reference, do yourself (and them) a favour. Turn these off in print:
- All forms — search, comment, menus. They are only meant for online interaction.
- All images (with the exception of those that relate to an article and your barebones site logo).
- All advertisements on your site.
How do you do it? — List all those elements related to the above (IDs and classes) in your print stylesheet, and set them to display:none;.
